It will give you the sensitivity and longevity of the braid, along with the ease of tying and abrasion resistance of mono. I use the alberto knot to tie them together.I've found most braid to be pretty similar, the exception being Fireline, it is fused into a single strand, gives it a little more memory and makes it easier to tie, big advantages in my book. I also pick high vis, I like to watch the line and the dark green stuff is very difficult to see.I'm not picky at all about mono, most of it behaves pretty similarly in my experience. The big thing with mono, it has to be fresh. You want it to be slick and glossy, if it's dull or faded at all strip some off the spool to get to the fresh stuff. I've kept it out of the sun and it still fades for whatever reason.I rarely use flouro so I can't comment much there.</blockquote>
