For clear water. Weedy lake with snags. Bait boats and boats can be used. 20 acres in size.

You want it to sink? If so I'd use the Korda stuff.

I've got Fox submerge straight through on my spod rod and have found it decent.

For weedy lakes I prefer a braid that won't sink into it powerpro has served me well
But for clearer long distance I always used Nash bullet braid hard to get hold of now though

Gardner hydro-sink for me....tough as old boots, casts really well and sinks but not to the degree that it buries itself into the weed, more that it lies on top if it.....more importantly though it doesn't float at all or take an age to sink to where you want it to be... 
Another vote for Powerpro here. Great braid
If not, Whiplash has served me well too. Just pay attention to the diameters not necessarily the rated Braking strain in LBS

PowerPro here too. Been using it since the late 90's, still haven't found anything better. Would use mono if the snags or weed are bad - braided spectra is not very abrasion resistant.
Worth noting a lot of braids are the same, just different labelling. Very few manufacturers worldwide, so many sourced from same place by tackle companies - they the try to give the impression what they're selling is something special.

why would you use a (n allegedly) sinking braid on a spod rod

So you can get the bait closer to the bottom.

Thanks guys, so many different points of view, yet like the idea of the braid not sinking into the weed. Have used braid in the past, but not on a weedy venue.

that is the beauty of powerpro
its almost neutral buoyancy but it does take on water and sink and stay sunk !
on top of the weed and in my experience its one of the very best for abrasion resistance too

I've used power pro in 30lb for 20 years, it is remarkably resilient and casts pretty well also.

Why use braid if you can use z baitboat? I would use fluorocarbon.. get it out decent way and sunk all the way back..
Braid if you must my fav was fox submerge in 40lb

Not 100% sure I want to go down the bait boat route, have bought 3 in my time and got rid, just wasn't happy using them.
