My observation is, we have lost far more fish this year due to poor hookups since we switched to mono. I only spliced 30 ft of mono to my braid but the number of lost fish has made me go back to the braid with a 6’ leader. I’m not seeing the reason to use mono other than better in the clips, but I wrap my clips anyway, so there you have it.
I have been using braid for a long time and I have a lot of it still to use. It is some tough stuff. I have no problems with it that I have not been able to figure out a way to deal with. Which really has only been slippage in clips from time to time. I have no plans to switch. Mono has its issues as well.
