Commercial Fla pomp fisherman here. Most down here cast mono on revolving reels and braid on fixed spool. However I throw 30 braid on all my revolvers with 40 lb shock leader. Braid seems to have less drag in heavier surf and Flys well. I can still keep fishing with break offs without have to respool where as with mono i might not have enough left on spool to keep fishing. My terminal tackles is 30 mono from swivel to sinker and 15 fluro on snoots. The purpose is to be able to break off unwanted fish such as rays or drum. Then quickly reattach broken snoot. No loss of sinkers and such. When the pomps are chewing keeping hooks in the water can cost you money if you have to retie or change reels. Sorry if too much info. Just my .02 worth.

BTW Bright colored braids help cut down on pelican interactions.

right...

If you want to give it a try when it's too cold come on down. I fish East Coast and West Coast of Fla. Northern Gulf from Fla to TX. As an old fat guy I like the cooler weather and chasing the migrations.
