Now on a muddy lake like Grenada, you can use whatever you want. People use 10lb braid over there all the time. Makes no difference.

I had a trip over there recently and we had to fish 3 to 4 ft of water to find any slabs. Braid is the last thing I would want when I have a 2.5 lb slab with 2 ft of line out. When they hit in that shallow water they only have one direction to go....out...and fast. We lost big fish after big fish because they just tore out of there and pulled the hook. Even with some stretch with the mono it was too much. FWIW we fished Enid because Grenada is crazy flooded now.
