Every rod i use often has 5ft of topshot and straight braid down to the spool. Setting the hook on a fish that is 60 yards away with no stretch is pretty cool. It just seems like i have better control of the fish and i hardly ever pull the hook.
FWIW, I am still a mono guy. I do use spectra for backing on my big game reels, primarily to increase the line capacity. I am a believer in using fluorcarbon leader when fishing with bait.
