How heavy of lures are you guys throwing if using something like 15 lb mono?

It's not the lures so much as the conditions. If you're tossing into even sparse weeds, you need the heavier line to get the fish out of there if they wrap around a few stalks of milfoil or a lily stem. Lighter line will snap and there goes both the fish and the lure.

I fish Toledo Bend & marshes of Southwest Louisiana, hardly sparse cover.
