Advantages of Braided Line Very strong for its diameter Excellent sensitivity Little to no spool memory Long casting distance Allows more line capacity on a reel Useful for fishing in deeper water or strong current Provides solid hooksets at a distance Generally lasts longer on the reel than mono Disadvantages of Braided Line More expensive initially Highly visible in clear water Requires knots designed to resist slipping Can cut fingers when pulled under tension May dig into itself on the reel after a hard pull Low stretch can cause pulled hooks if the drag is too tight Can be difficult to untangle after a severe wind knot Mono vs Braid Fishing for Inshore Species Inshore fishing around Topsail Island includes marsh creeks, oyster beds, docks, bridges, flats, sounds, and stretches of the Intracoastal Waterway
