I use both, but not in Rotten’s boat, I got tired of him yelling at me about my mono the entire time we were fishing. I think that's how he converts people.

Actually more and more of my reels have braid on them now, one big reason is because I have stacks of reels that may not get used that often, so every time one was put into service I needed to change the line on it. Its not bad, but I was buying bulk rolls and then throwing them out long before I used them up. With braid it can sit for years and still be perfect when I need it.
