It's so that you can have a change in the stiffness and or suppleness of your hook-length. Rigs can be made using mono which is either stiff or soft, there are several theories on using stiff and soft through the hook length to help hooking; so various monos were joined together, then someone came up with the idea of coating braid so that you can peel back the stiff coating to leave the supple braid.2 points

i assumed it was so when the carp goes to suck up the bait it flies in easily, and I suppose on ejection, either through normal filtering of detritus or because of detection of resistance, line stiffness doesn't effect the outcome.1 point
