I use 30 lb. Power Pro Super Slick and Seagar 20 lb. fluro as a leader when fishing plastics. If I am using topwaters, I'll swith to mono because it floats better than the fluro. I like the braid becasue of it's lack of memory, it's smaller diameter, which allows me to spool more line on my reel, and because of the quick response time I get when setting the hook. I like using a leader for the same reason that someone else mentioned: I have it in my head that the fish can see the braid better than they can see fluro. Albright knot when joining braid to fluro or mono.
