Braid has more friction than other line . If it is not lubricated it will break in an area that has had the most tip friction . People who do not wax or lub their braid loose a lot of lures with good amounts of line. good quality mono gives better life and does not absorb feel of what is happening at hook end. ( Sea gar Gatsu)
No line stretchDoesn't go to crap in the sun and ozone like mono, so lasts WAY longerSmall line diameter vs mono which allows it to sink quicker and deeper.Typically, higher break strength per pound test rating - which I still cannot understand why.I use braid on all rods except my steelhead rods and leadcore setups.I then either clip on a floro leader or splice it to the braid.Unless I'm dragging a diver or dipsey, then I use a leader after the diving device.
Yep I’ve cut a few guides in the early years lol
Sometimes I wonder what people like like Roscoe V Gaddis would think of how far things have progressed In the sport of fishing 🎣

Cool video. I see they embellished the size of the salmon in 1969 also.
