i usually troll in the summer and fall at a pretty good clip so i like a mono for the stretch to keep from tearing out of the fishes mouth...i just use the wally 6# and 8# for that however i've been using seagar flourocarbon for the deep water jigging on lake monticello in the winter and it does pretty good...after reading your post, i might try the braid for that this winter to see how it does...at 40-58', you need all the feel you can get
