When the braided lines first came out I ran two rods with braid and one without for pulling plugs.Used it most of the winter season.The braided line lines out fished the mono three to one.I attributed this to the facts mentioned above already.The braids let shallower running plugs like Tadpolly's (my favorite) run in water that I normally would have to run Hot Shot 35s in to get down.I also believe with the thin line you got a much better action on the the plug.The no-stretch really buried the hooks.But........Two trips in a row I lost fish way into the fight.Each time loosing 5 to 8 feet of line with the plug.Way away from the knot.To see a fish swim of with that much 30 pound attached is enough to make you sick.The only thing I could hope was that the fish threw the hook,as they were barbless.And yes,I always check my lines constantly for abrasions.
Super lines have their place.I don't think you can beat them for float fishing,mooching and jigging,They are flat out awesome.But in situations where the are highly susceptible to abrasions,I have my doubts.
