I know a lot of people say "Why braid?", but it does have many strong points and .... also weaknesses.
Merits: no stretch (fast & strong hook sets), floats (easier to mend line), thinner and lighter (easier long drifts, use smaller floats, less wind resistance) ...
Demerits: dreaded tip wrap (especially during rain), more expensive than mono ....
I used to use braid with 8~9 feet of mono leader, but switched back to mono because of tip wraps during rainy weather which at one time almost broke my favourite Sage rod.
However, I still miss the lightening fast hooksets and almost lazy way of line mending possible with braid lines.
