It's kinda pointless to do a poll if you're not going to let us vote, however, my vote would have gone to mono.

aYup! To the point that if/when me and the Ladz see you using braided on our home waters (Stamp and area) there soon follows a discussion of why you shouldn't be  ;)

braided? 20lb mono? Why do you need that fast water? I never use more than 12 lb mostly 8 sometimes 6 in rivers i guess i dont target springs much and the waters slower so its a bit different. My vote would be mono hands down.

Mono has been catching fish for over 70yrs.  If it ain't broke (and it costs A LOT less $$$)...

12 pound mono for vedder and chehalis, braided line for the summer in the fraser, usually 50 pound.

I've think there are advantages to both lines but I noticed that mono casts way further and smoother than braided. I was using 30lb tuff line and found that the line dug into the spool causing resistance when coming off the reel. As well, when the tuff line gets wet, it dries and hardens onto the reel.
I then switched to Ultragreen and haven't switched back  ;)
