My only real knock on this line from my time with it catching salmon in NY is it has almost zero "give" - so for a rookie like me, that meant a few lost fish. But, I'm still learnin'.
I love braid simply because it lasts for years.
still have mono for some applications: ultra light trout, egg sacs for steelies, float fishing trout/steelhead, cat fishing, carp fishing, crankbaits, plastic worms.
Braid would work excellent in Chamberlain releases. I use mono with a flouro leader but I may switch to braid to have less stretch.
