Completely agree with this. I tend to think about line as a fishing "tool". And when it comes to tools, usage is all about application. Rudimentary analogy: you wouldn't use a hammer to screw in a screw if you had a screwdriver available.

Under the right conditions, braid is by far the best choice. But other conditions may dictate flouro or mono as a better choice. Some conditions could be an either/or personal preference situation.

One feature of braided line I didn't notice having been mentioned yet is that it floats. If you like fishing topwater, it's a must to have line that floats (braid or mono) to have good natural action. Personally my favorite fishing tactic is fishing a hollow-belly frog for largemouth bass. I don't use anything other than 65# power pro braid for that.

:think: We seem to be presenting conflicting info here. Maybe some don't but the braid I use floats.

I use braid with a floro carbon leader works great and it lasts forever
