I'm slowly finding a new love for mono over braid! Mono is designed differently these days. Built smaller, higher strength, not bulky, also built invisible more so than the older "mono" days. I know they both serve a purpose. But I do like the mono these days

mono and braid are two different animals, then toss in the hi-bred stuff and fluorocarbon, wow its insane.
-Mono you get the flex and stretch, different colors for preference and conditions.
-Braid you get your choice of dark colors but strength that is dia. of 10lb test but it 30 lb strength. there is awesome flex but no stretch to it.
-Hi-Bred line costly strong and a fit between the 2 above from my understanding, cant say much except it is costly as all get out.
-Fluorocarbon line more dense cost a little bit more and becomes almost invisible, the abrasion factor is better than the old stuff.
well thats that in a nut shell!

i like how small the braid is......i fish with 15lb on my curado e50, which is about 4lb dia of mono and 30lb on my 2 200e7's which is about 8 dia mono...... so i can put alot on there. Another thing, the spiderwire stealth braid is teflon coated whick means i can fling a 1/16 oz jig head a mile and a half!!
