Because 20# mono will break at around 24#s of pull.

20# Fireline will break at over 50# of pull.

I jigged with mono for over 30 years, until I switched to braid. I'll never go back. Strength is a bonus--the sensitivity is what counts. Jigging with mono is like making love with a double thick condom.

Love braid, power pro to be exact. Bought a new sustain last year and the shop owner loaded it with Cortland. Never did use it last year but this spring i'll give it a go. I just love the feel and sensitivity of braid (pp).
