Mono withstands scuffs from rocks better than braid, braid can create a real tangle around sinkers and swivels when rolling on the bottom, and when you get hung up and have to break off you will not be worried about cost. Trilene big game in 20lb test should be about right. a 1/4 lb spool will fill your reel twice and cost you about $8. Compared to braid you will loose a bit of distance on your casts especially with lighter lures, but the trade off is worth it when bait fishing around rocks. Words of wisdom when bait fishing and how you use mono versus braid can save you a great deal of cash at the end of the day and even some fish Life member M.B.B.A #509 Life member Izaak Walton Fishing Association Life member Cape Cod Canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
