ETA: You will immediately notice the increased sensitivity, because it doesn't stretch like braid.
This for sure which is great for winter fishing due to lite bites. I wouldn't use it is spring/summer fishing. You will pull the hooks more often at that time of the year,
Also, what rod you are using? The braided line will cut the eyes over time if you are using a cheap rod.

The only issue I've had with braid is when Im casting a heavy bait and have a spool-stopping backlash. Braid doesn't stretch and doesnt handle shock as well as mono. I've sent many a top dog flying across the marsh with 6" of power pro attached and a catastrophic backlash in my hands.
You can manage some reallllll nasty backlashes with braid if you don't watch your spool and keep it neat.
It's a very rare occurrence though. The benefits far outweigh the problems IMO. I keep one rod spooled with mono for heavy top water and the rest have power pro.
