Yes, you can get a lot more on a reel. That's why I started using it
because I was tired of being spooled out by big fish. I actually
think it is easier to knot than mono.


Yeah, it's not more difficult than mono, but some of the mono knots don't work well with the
braided. I don't remember which. Another thing I was told was that there should always be a base
layer of mono on the reel before the braid is wound. Don't remember all the particulars there
either. I suppose Google would provide the answer.
