Good thread, Brother.
I'm surprised to hear all the guys talking about abrasion problems and the like with Power Pro. I've never had a problem with it, particularly in the rocks. Like Mike, I tend to fish a pretty light drag with either line type and have landed a lot of big fish I may have lost otherwise because of it.
I use both lines quite a bit, depending on the situation. Only thing I use braid for exclusively is bottom fishing. I find myself liking 25lb big game on the eel rods I cast with on the boat, but I like braid(50# PP) on ones I don't cast as much with. I run 30lb big game on my live bait (shad, scup, etc) rods and wouldn't change it. Braid on all my spinners except the one 7 footer I use on the boat for eels at night and when I have guests on the boat. I definitely can see why a lot of guys like mono at night, as it's a little easier to deal with if you have a problem.
I like to think I could adjust my fishing style to any type of line but there's definitely situations where I feel that one or the other gives me an edge.
