Why is the give in mono a bad thing? We go to extreme lengths to get fast action tip rods for kokanee. I certainly do. They have very soft mouths, and you want some give in the system. And for fly fishing trout in Utah, most folks use very limber rods to better play the fish. I use the same rod/reel combo's for trout that I do for kokanee when trolling with good success.
Now bass, wiper, catfish, walleye are a different story. Stiff rods and braided line to be able to set hooks properly. I don't want any give in those situations.
