In my experience the leader is necessary for three reasons. One because the braid can be seen in some conditions by trout. Two, as a shock absorber. You will rip through a trouts mouth and loose a bunch. Especially on smallish trout. Third, the braid tends to tangle and grab hooks when tied directly to TW and twitch baits. I use 20 lb flouro. About 20". The uni not is cool but I use a tiny swivel. Works well for me.
