Braided line pros:
- No stretch so you can feel the strike or bottom better.
- No stretch so you get a better hook set at longer distances.
- Limp so works well on spin cast reels.
- Very thin so it cuts through water and sinks quickly.
- So thin you can generally use higher breaking strength than with fluoro or nylon.
- No sunlight deterioration.
