I never got into so many big balloon's as I did today. I have braid on 3 of my 6 perch rods, I only had break offs on the reels spooled w/ mono. I should know better because the mono has to be 6 or more years old so it is past being ready to change. I only use Stren mono, I think it's the best mono and IMO it's way better than any other mono. What mono lasts 6+ years?

I use braid now on just about all of my rod/reels, so much better feel and much stronger with the same diameter of mono. I bought some braid on eBay once and I didn't have much confidence it would be any good because it was so cheap. Now it's the only line I use, it's called Dyneema. I don't know if you ever heard of it but it's great line and shockingly cheap. It comes from China so it takes a couple of weeks to get but I order enough of it that I haven't ever run out. I have spooled up several of my fishing buddies reels and every one of them loves the line. I'm sure there are people that will complain about it but I couldn't be any more happy with Dyneema braid.
