"Uncle Homer," a LONG time bass GOD put it best ... "The monofilament fishing line is absolutely perfect for the majority of anglers."
Unless you're chucking jigs and craws/creatures in to HEAVY cover, dragging cranks and spinners through brush and timber, thunking frogs and top waters around pads and weeds .... then you need a good BRAID! (I'd recommend Suffix)
If you're serious about finessing an array of dancy plastics .... then you need a good FLOUROCARBON (I'd recommend Berkley 100% Flouro)
Other than that man ... for the occasional California angler catfishin, trout fishin, or bass fishin ..... stick to a tried-and-true mono!
