If or when you go to braid, I'd strongly advise you try Fireline. Standard braids in lighter line classes tend to nick and break after moderate use, I think because the line fluffs and flays against the reel frame occasionally with a ragged cast. Heavier braid....no problem. I fish 99% conventional and rarely use mono anymore (though #30 mono is still the best choice for toe-toe full drag fights in current and rocks). If you are plugging, braid lets you stay in touch with your plug much more effectively than mono. It also backlashes less (but when it does it is more likely to cost you a plug).
