So, why do I still use braid? Feel & hook set, especially as it relates to setups for larger game fish.
Buy yourself a pair of Fiskar Child Size Scissors to cut your braid with ... you'll get a clean cut, with no frayed fibers sticking out the tag end (frayed braid makes poking it thru a jig eye a frustrating ordeal). It's also handy to have a section of wood dowel to wrap the braid around to pull your bait free from snags.
