Mono is useless for me in the surf except for leaders. In real life experiences I have found braid to be far superior in the rocks. I used to have to respool very often(sometimes every nite) with mono. Now I put on a ton of braid, as it gets down I strip it, and add to backing to even out the spool. I can get just about every fish out of rocks by just dragging them thru, or freespooling them until they free themselves. Check out this pic: Got hung up with a fish on, tried everything to get him loose(friend had just taken a 40#, so was being extra careful). Finally couldn't get him, so just ripped him outa where he was. Ended up having 2 seperate clumps of mussels my braid had gotten stuck in and a 12# blue on the hook.
