Why polyclonal antibody solution is able to precipitate its antigen protein whereas monlclonal antibody solution has hard time to do so?

Polyclonal antibody recognizes several epitopes on the target protein while monoclonal antibody recognizes only single epitope. Sometimes, monoclonal antibodies are not able to precipitate the antigen because the epitope might need to be exposed on the surface of the antigen to be recognized by the antibody. Since the epitope might be hidden and it's a single epitope that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody, the propability of the antibody to reconize the epitope is lower compared with the polyclonal antibody that recognizes several epitopes on the target protein.
