But keep a spool of mono around if you are casting 1/16 oz sliders or other jigs hunting for beds in the spring. Also, keep an eye on your guides. I've heard that braid line will cut grooves in some guides and line rollers. Good fishing.
Any idea why you lose the feel? All I've heard is that you always feel more with braid because it does not stretch. I was actually more interested in it for casting than jigging.
