I stopped using mono on everything several years ago for any, and all, of the reasons stated above.

I went through dozens of spools of dozens of types of line until I finally got tired of screwing around with it all the time; I have switched to PowerPro on everything (except my downrigger rods) and learned to love it.

I can say too that I have not lost a fish because of the mainline breaking for just as many years as I have been using the PowerPro... been spooled once but never broke off
