Serious question: Did Satan invent braided fishing line?

[gilkeybr]

I have used braid exclusively for the last 10 years and am struggling to picture everyone's stories of issues with braid!  The lack of stretch is the only unforgiving aspect of it that I can think of, but that also has its share of perks.

 

On the other hand, I spooled one reel with fluoro and that lasted about 20 casts before I had a birdsnest all the way down to the mono-backing and said "i'm only fishing braid from now on".

I'm using 832 20# braid on all my baitcasters with a mono backing. If clearwater conditions are a problem I will tie on a fluro 15# leader. Wind knots and backlash no longer plague me now that I am using the Curado DC. Mono only is my line of choice for spinning, but am curious about the new hybrid lines for spincasting.
