Eyecrazy, I thought about what you said a few weeks ago about going back to braid, so I went out and bought a another big spool of braid too. I feel more comfortable with it. My son had a big sheephead on over the weekend, and I was praying that the Sunline 14lb would not break with my $8.00 Reef Runner on it as he fought that big fish. I am keeping two poles with mono, but I like the braid better.
