Yeah, if you're fishing for panfish it probably doesn't matter a whole lot. And truth be told, the extreme suppleness of braid does sometimes cause its own issues - for example, I find that braid is more likely to get tangled up in/around your terminal tackle on a bad cast (or again, due to a wind gust, etc). For example, I mean cases where your line gets caught up in the treble hooks on a jerkbait or crankbait or something, or gets caught up in the blades on a spinerbait, stuff like that.
