Defiantly don't like to tie tops str8 to braid. The braid will twist around hooks and slip in split rings. I use a 2ft mono shock leader on tops. Floro on everything else. Really I like to just run 12-14# mono on my topwater rod. Braid doesn't stretch and has a tendency to pull hooks specially on heavier fish. It's fine on a single hook but If a trout doesn't get it deep trebles pull easy.
