After reading several threads on here this ole man finally tried some braided line. I have fished mono my whole life. I use a mono leader to attach my jig with, though. I will say with the braid, I feel the bite a lot clearer. To me it's like the fish is chewing on the end of my pole clear, no matter how deep my jig is. I think I am missing fish because I'm reacting to fast with it, don't know. Oh yea, almost forgot, the lightest braid I could find locally is 10lb, but 2lb diameter.
