Feeling the nibble and setting the hook is easier with braid when the line out a farther distance. Braid is thinner than monofilament of the same lb. test. You can fit more on your reel if using the same lb. test. You can use a higher lb. test on your reel without giving up length.Braid can be a pain at times too. Cutting braid line is a little harder than monofilament. Braid seems to snag on sharp objects and points easier. It has a clothlike texture causing this. Having a birdsnest with braid can be a nightmare. Monofilament has a smoother texture than braid. It seems to come off of spinning reels easier than braid when casting.Again, this is from my experience between the two.</blockquote>
