Try heavy floro, it has almost no stretch so you feel the bottom contour and subtle strikes better. Mono is horrible around grass because if you get a little snag you can shake floro or braid free but mono will come flying toward the boat.
I flip with a med/hvy rod and 20lb floro more than my flippin stick with 35lb braid. That heavy flippin rod hurts my elbow after a couple hours of flipping and I have never lost a fish on the floro.
