Inshore basically covered the bases here. Braid has very little stretch to it, so is a lot more sensative than mono. You can also set the hook with a lot less force. It is very abrasion resistant when compared to mono. A bonus of its smaller diameter is that you can cast a lot farther. Since the diameter is so small, most people use mono backing. This is also good because the braid tied direct to the spool will slip, since it doesn't stretch and grab the spool like mono. Otherwise, you can use some rubbery tape on the spool for the braid to dig into. I just switched one reel over to braid at the end of this season and next spring I'm going all braid; I'm converted.

Lookin for my big'un!
