More on reel I understand but have never needed more back when I used spinning gear

You will cast about 4 times farther too.  My uncle was a skeptic, we were throwing to the bank, he was using mono, he kept saying, move closer, I said here try mine, he threw it with the same enthusiasm, the weightless fluke ended up about 10 feet high in the trees, that is the difference.

The no stretch characteristic gives better feed back. Maybe this will help...Copied from the berkley web site:

 Stretch—Mono stretches more than superlines and more easily than fluorocarbon, which gives it a forgiveness factor other lines can’t match. If your drag sticks or you set the hook too hard, mono compensates by stretching up to 25 percent or more.

While mono has many benefits, there are tradeoffs. For example, because of its stretchiness, it’s not overly sensitive. If you need to detect ultra-light bites, discern subtle changes in bottom composition or feel what your lure is doing at all times—especially at long distances—a superline or fluorocarbon is a better choice.

Like I said. I use braid, with a leader, I try to get the best of both worlds. You will just have to try it. After you use it for a couple years just spool it from one reel to another all the stuff that you never use at the bottom of the spool will be at the top then you are good for another couple years/
