I use mono, always have. It is just my personal preferance. The key to fishing a jig to me besides consentrating on what the jig is doing , is watching your line. I watch my line so I need a mono with good visibility, I use 17 to 20 lb test blue fluorescent. I`m sure some guys can do this with lines that are less visible but I can`t. Maybe getting old? I have always used this and have had good success with it.
