mono or braid

mono or braid which is best for casting

i have braid on one reel catch a lot more fish with, must just detect bites easier as it is on a lighter rod too.

wats every ones views.

I use mono mostly because I use mutis alot of the time but I have a fix spool with 30lb braid If I am fishing for flatties or whiting or other small speices . But for normal fish I use mono because it is more forgiving but nowadays you can get mono with very little streaght like uitma F1 which has very low diameter for casting. Hope it helps

not on the multiplyer yet but have braid on one reel and mono on the others. only been a true sea angler for about 2 or 3 years now.

i use mono for multi's but have a fixed spool that i have braid on and use it for light beach work and spinning, and seem to get more hook-ups with it than i used to when using mono..

I still use mono on my multi's but for all my lure fishing and some light shore fishing I use braid. The directness of braid is fantastic and its thinner diameter helps it cast much better that the equivalent mono but I still have enough problems casting with multi's using mono to even think about switching over to braid.

Some good advice there lads, cheers. I haven't yet used braid and was wondering what would be a middle of the road braided line to go on a fixed spool spinnig reel?

Thanks
