Quite stiff, especially in larger diameters.Mono is cheaper than braid, yard for yard – although braid might be cheaper in the long run (more about this later).Although diameters vary, 10 lb mono has the same diameter as 30lb braid. Much bigger diameter than braid for similar breaking strength.Depending on the thickness of course, mono doesn’t break straight away when it scrapes past an abrasive surface. Under pressure mono lines can stretch somewhere between 20 and 30%. It can be made of different fibres, but most of the time it’s made of nylon.
