I know everyone has there preferences, but when it comes to braides, I just haven`t found anything that compares to Cabelas SI. When you first put it on an open face it feels stiff but once it`s been used a while it is so limp it`s like trying to tie sewing thread. And it is such a tight braid, and silicone impregnated, that it does not soak up water and freeze on your real. 15 lb. is the same diamenter as 2 lb. mono. But there James is right the braid doesn`t give the drift or float to a light jig like mono does, even if it is the same diameter. Now vertical jigging with braid versus mono in current is a different story.
