Andrew, I don't believe that there's any circumstances in predator fishing where mono has a significant edge over braid, other than in price. But if braid does the job where something else won't, then it's worth the money. I put up the original thread about summerlands, because it resolved the gripes about price. If you doubt the edge that braid has, then look at all of the articles by those that make their living from the sport, all use braid. This hoary old chestnut about braid not being abrasion resistant is a nonsense. You can with misuse and unluck bust up any line and having used kevlar lines before I'm in a position to know. Take a pair of sharp scissors and cut a piece of mono in half it works every time, take a pair of sharp scissors and cut a pice of braid in half, doesn't work does it, takes a few goes and a bit of sawing back and forth, in fact you need special braid scissors to do it. By the way, I have no connection with summerlands.Trust me I'm an estate agent! (LOL)
