I experienced an unfortunate line fopah two days ago where a loop in my PP was burned through by a cast and I lost 90% of the line on my spool. I thought I could just use mono and get by until I could restock my supply of PP. WRONG!!!!! Fishing with mono felt like I was using an overstretched rubber band. I couldn't cast worth a darn or feel the bottom, let alone what the current was doing to the jig. I lost ALL the fish I managed to hook and failed to hook more fish than I care to talk about. After 3 hours of trying to FORCE the issue I just packed up and came home........dejected. I now know what you golfers feel like when you get done with 18 holes of torturing yourself with the delusion that "You can do it!!" I'm respooling with PP before I venture forth again. WOW what a difference in feel, function, and efficiency between mono and PP. Lesson Learned!!!
