Spectra has virtually no elastisity, and thus it is extremely sensitive. 40lb mono streches like crazy. You talk about losing the "feel" of the lure past 75' depth... using spectra will help you in that regard for sure. With 65lb braid you can easily feel a single squid hit your jig 130 ft down. It's insane how noticeable the sensitivity of spectra is... then just wait til a 20lb+ YT hits that swimbait! You can feel every headshake and tail thump. Only thing is you want a lighter action rod in order to absorb the shock of a bigger fish and smooth out the action of your bait.
