the braid does give you an advantage, you can cast much further and more easily hook fish that hit at the long range of your cast. I used #5 braid for a few years. I switched to #4 fluoro this winter because if you try to fish sub freezing temps with braid that is anything but brand new you just deal with ice all day more so than with fluoro and you still get the no stretch benefit, just lose a bit of casting distance. i always use modified albright or alberto or whatever they call it.
