I beg to differ, not only are they bigger, but they are sharper and there is a mouth full.

I use 15-20 braid when fishing these so thier teeth and skin go through it rather easily. I have landed them without the wire though.

I use a wire called Knot2Kinky, 18lb, very thin, you can actually tie knots with it.

Braid is not abrasive resistant at all, their skin alone would rub through that, mono however is actually quite abrasion resistant.
