With virtually no stretch to it, it transfers even the most subtle vibrations and bites. Certainly worth the extra money in my opinion and the visibility of the line is easily combatted by running a 4-6' Flouro leader to your lure or bait.
I'm a mono guy myself and have been considering braided. I take it your not talking about the spider type lines? As I have heard stories of how it will rub grooves in you rod eyes. And impossible to break line. I fish fast flowing waters by boat,canoe or kayak. When you hang up you have to get back up stream as quickley as possible to try to retreive lure. If current to swift you need to be able to break line quickly as to miminize line lost. Thats why I haven't made the switch. Any imput. I to like Peter said deal with a lot of line twist and change line just about every time I go out. I fish with 6 lb. mono test.
