i currently have mono on all my rods and have never had a problem..... but after going out on my uncles boat who had all braid i found that mono is a lot better for the lighter gear anything below 7lb i find gives me hell with wind knots...... all my life though i have used mono so i guess i like mono more...... dont waste ur time with anything below 7lb apart form different knots tho i havent heard about that they seemed to hold together in about 19 metres of water pulling up about a 5kg fish good luck with what ever u choosetight lines Brock :woohoo:
