There are instances where you want to use mono over braid, at least for me.
I never tie topwater lures to braided line, I think it compromises the
action, also if I would have used the mono last year when that big bass
exploded on my lucky 13 he might not have gotten off if I had a little
stretch.. oh wait it was forgetting to set the drag, Dave V was nice enough
to point out that the rear treble had been bent horizontally by the fish,
but seriously, I only spool with two lines, 12lb yozuri and 30lb stren super
braid. If you have not tried the Stren you should, it is a lot better than
the power pro and other braids I have used. In my opinion.

I use 10/2 and have had no problems, and i don't use a leader either.
Go much over that then you migt have visibility problems. My two cents.
