If you chunk it they will come!!! The cheapest thing is your mono so change it now not after you break off your PB striper! OK the same goes for braid. No matter how many posts or suggestions are put here on this board about braid being a night mare on a Party Boats fishing for bass and blues it falls upon deaf ears. Mono is easier to handle and more forgiving than braid.Fluke yes bass no! I am strictly talking Party Boats.

I'm with you Sal, especially for live lining on private boats as well. I've lost more then my fair share of Stripers on braid. You get a good solid run, you go to set the hook and the fish comes unbuttoned.

I think the line stretch you get with mono actually helps here. You get a softer and better hook set which affords you some extra give and that helps you stay connected with the fish instead of pulling the hook.
