The super braids lines are an ingenious idea...
They have their place in fishing. I use them frequently for strong tides swings when I know I need to be deep. This is usually 200' plus, but I also shorthen my drop back to 6-8' too. Let me see if I can explain the slack line portion at the clip. The blow back from mono actually works to your advantage. When you tighten the line, you are stretching it thus creating a slightly longer distance of line. When a fish hits and turns the opposite direction, the line returns to it's original shape creating less of a distance than the braided line. The opposite is true for the braided lines. The line has to drag through the water at an upward distance before the fish tightens up on the rod. It is during these few seconds that most of the fish be lost. To be honest, I haven't seen many fish "come clean" off the clip with either mono or braids. There is always a brief second or two before the rod tightens... With braids at seems a little longer in the common 100-150' of water. Deep stuff... it comes off a little faster.
I am not knocking it. Like I mentioned I use it... Just not my first choice.
Another thing I would recommend is a 6:1 reel. You'll need to crank fast when that line starts to slacken...
Lastly, often overlooked... Over time, it plays hell on your rods and reels. That is a lot of stress with no give way on your rods... The first time you snag something made fast- SNAP! At least it will get you back to Sportco.
