There is only one problem with using certain types of Braid on a spinning reel, alot of braid lines are more flat than rounded, and they twist something feirce on spinning reels. And what happens to the casting process when braid twists on the spool? It causes a nasty backlash the first time any slack is left in the line. Stren Super Braid is suppose to be a pretty "rounded" braid. [

Personally, i'm not a big braid fan. I like the shock absorbing qualities of Mono, and I can live without the line compacity. Braid is awesome for "chunking," especially with spinning outfits. However, I never have the need to do so in my local salty pond.
I know tuben2 likes to play with the braid, maybe he'll have a little more insight.
