Braided line is the only line(IMO) for fishing weeds of any kind. I flip a lot of pad/hydrilla fields, along the egde and way back in and with out the strength of braided controlling bass (no muskies in Fl) would be more problem then results. Plus one major feature is Braided line has no stretch.
The need to controll a fish is "right now" in this type of situation. Get his/her head up and your half way home. Some parts of the country may not have these types of conditions to contend with so mono may be somebodies first choice. Different strokes for different folks.
One other "major" feature about braid is it will "cut" through pad stems like a hot knife through butter! Mono ? I don`t think so.
Just my $.02.
