What is the advantage of using 20 pound dacron backing versus 20 lb
mono? The 20 lb mono would be alot cheaper, what are the disadvantages?

Braided dacron ages much better than monofilament. If you're like me,
you don't change your backing very often. When you're finally lucky
enough to hook the monster that takes you into your backing, you don't
want three year old (or older) mono in there.
