I have used both and I like mono better. The fish do not seem to be line shy because of the water clarity being one factor. One of the pro's to braid is that it has much less resistance through the water when trolling but you do have to modify your knots somewhat and make sure you wrap a piece of tape on your spool when filling your reel to avoid slippage on the spool. The mono also has a little stretch (give) which can be good with cranks. Your lures may get a little more depth when trolling with braid because of the smaller diameter, but generally mono is easier to work with. I use relatively mid price to lower priced (Trilene XL, Cabelas Pro Line) mono and have no problems with it. John R.
