If this is your first time using braid, I'll share some of my first impressions. My first few cast with fresh braid left me disappointed. Luckily, I was with a seasoned user of this. He just looked at me and smiled. Keep casting he said. As I continued to cast, the line "relaxed" and I came to really enjoy fishing with it.
Another point I'll make is when you price a spool of the good stuff, your going to be shocked after buying mono. What you need to know is that you won't be re-spooling line as often. I've got line on some spools that is five years old and still in good shape. There is a learning curve with this product. For instance, if you get hung up, do NOT wrap the line around your hand and pull. You'll only do that once. Good luck.
