usually braided is avoided for long casting, with the two violent
kind of cast named off-the-ground and pendulum, it's usual to create
mess in the line, so often you break the line during the cast. no
big deal (if is not the cast of your life that's why caster
change often the main line.
but if you use the braided instead and you mess the line in a violent
cast, you can easily break the rings of the road.

You are correct However there are a couple things a person can
do to cast longer distances with braid and avoid problems.. one is
simply making sure the line is wound uniformly on the spool.. a
little care and constant tension when loading will achieve this
another is to wet the spool (line) before casting which also helps..
I use a braided line of approx 35lb strength, but with a diameter of
10 lb line.. and can cast a hundred yards or so with no problem.

sure, you can use braided for going 100yards, in Italy many people use
big reels like Daiwa Emblem 10000 and thin lines (braided or nylon) and
telescopic rods, for weights not over 3oz, but if you really want to
bring your baits farther, you need to change many things

Have gone further but I don't like too much line out there..its like
remote control fishing..one benefit of braid is that with virtually
no stretch hook setting is almost the same at a hundred yards as at
ten yards.. if slack is kept to a minimum..the hook set is full power
and almost instantaneous.. you lose a lot of force due to stretch in
the line with mono over long distances..

surely it's true, but with nylon you can use its elasticity to win the
fish, depends on the fish you catch, the elasticity could be useful
