As for the guy who doesnt favour braid off the rocks.....Ever seen that japanese guy fishing for GT'S in tonga (i think it was)off the rocks.....He caught a monster on 80 pound braid/stella......So if its good enough for GTs......Although we tend to have a lot of fowl around the place.....Either way, mono or braid wont get on well with rocks etc.
I was told there is the difference in the fight techniques employed by GTs vs Kings. As a lot of the corals are poisonous, the GTs don't fight as dirty as Kings in terms of trying to rub you off on the rocks/coral and therefore you have slightly better advantage vs them off the bricks and inclose on the reefs then you do here vs Kings.
