Mono Or Braid?

[absolutjays]

Hello, Long time fisherman here but just getting into catching squid with a rod and reel rather than shooting them with a spear gun. I have been reading through the forum and getting information on rod size and type, line size, reel size, and jig color. I am going to Japan on Thursday and plan to pick up a rod and a few different jigs there. The reel I can get on island, but I was wondering about the line. Which do you prefer mono, fluorocarbon or spectra? Granted spectra is more expensive, but is there any distinct advantages in using spectra for catching squid or is it not that big of a difference.



Thanks,

Jay
