biggamefishr (8/29/2008)i've switched over to braid (stren super braid)on all my inshore stuff....I love it and will never go back to mono. time after time i've had reds or trout pull into the pilings, only to pull them back out again, theres noway mono would ever do that.

I think the original question was about abrasion resistance of braid....the reason a cracked guide does more damage to braid than mono is because the braid is smaller, so it'll fit into the crack as opposed to just riding on the top of it like the thicker mono.

Thanks man I was wondering if that was the case with the cracked guide but I wasn't sure.

Thanks for sharing those pictures Ron.

I actually answered my own question Friday night. I spooled up two rods with 20# PowerPro (used to have 10 and 12 mono on them) and headed to the Sikes. I had a nice size Mangrove Snapper wrap me around the bridge piling real good and I didn't lose him. I thought for sure he was a gonner because he wrapped around twice but with some patience and the braid I got him. I'm sold.
