Crankbaits, I will agree mono, probably is the best option, sometimes you need the extra stretch to make the crankbait work its action capable of triggering big fish strikes... Also, it allows better hook set without hooks being ripped out like someone already suggested....
Guys, here is my input on all these lines...
Fluorocarbon: Newest and greatest fishing line on the market, the feel is incredible because there is no stretch at all which allows you to feel the slightest little bite... Basically, invisible underwater and line diameter is smaller than Monofilamant... Only dislike, it can be hard to handle on the reel (meaning if you don't have complete control of the line, good possibility that you will get alot of line twists and tangles)...
Mono: Old, stretches and dosen't last very long on the reel... Crankbaits I still prefer mono over the rest, allows stretch to provide the best action for the bait, less break offs and no hooks ripped out of the lips....
Braided lines: some braided lines are perfect because there is virtually no stretch at all and line control on the reel is very easy... I hardly get any tangles or backlashes using braided lines... One dislike, the lighter lines under 6lb test will fray very easily causing fish to brake off when you think everything is perfect... This is a line defect and not your fishing skills...
Air Resistance: Very simple, heavier lines are more air resistance than lighter lines because of the diameter... When your throwing into the wind, it can be a difficult challenge to provide the distance that you want your lure to reach... Lighter lines will provide the max distance for any lure when there is wind....
