Default Big Problem

Went out today to wet a line. First time in over a year that I tried Mono on
any of my reels. I have been using Braid for the past two years My Calcutta
thought it was spring, and promptly built a birdsnest on every third cast
with 12lb line. "Oh no!!" I said. I can't cast mono worth a darn anymore.
Looks like braid and I have a permanent relationship from now on. Goodbye
mono. Hello braided line and fluorocarbon leaders.

Trust me, I tried and tried to get that mono to perform properly for three
hours to no avail. Now I can get the foolish thought of using mono for top
waters and cranks out of my head. I guess I will have to use a fiberglass
rod to handle those tasks from now on. Been looking at the St. Croix Glass
Pro any thoughts? Anyone use one of these light weight wonders of modern
science.
