The best use for mono is backing for braid.

Most prominent quality lacking with mono is sensitivity and my pov of this is during the retrieve. The fight you get with mono is lacking the feel of what the fish is doing. With mono the fight is dull and subdued. With braid the turns twists wiggles diving rising rolling every little movement the fish does is greatly enhanced. This aspect is what makes using braid so much more enjoyable to me. Not to mention the better line management and ease of use working presentations through weeds.

My belief still holds true.

I use mono for everything, even in 6 year old threads.   

 

I thought they quit making Stren magnathin.    I normally use either "original" Stren or Trilene XL.   

I did not know magna thin was discontinued. No wonder bass pro was out of it . I ordered mine thru sportman warehouse. I will have to stock up thru different  vendors.
