I tried that a while ago and didn't like it too well...especially for crappie fishing with a cork. Here are some of the things I didn't like:
- If you hang up, getting free was worse than mono. Pulling on it cuts the line into the spooled line on the reel.
- I had a tendency to set the hook too hard and pulled some baits/jigs out of the fish.
- Depending on the cork you use, the line would cut the plastic on the cork.
I did like it better for pitching and retrieving a jig, but still had some of the hang up and hook set issues until I got used to it.
I know there are a few more versions of the braid now so they may be better. Also, I'm not sure what mono you are using, but you might try a different brand.
