Leaders are not a must, just depends on application, and water clairity. If I'm using a leader I will tie one on the night before around 5ft and use it throughout the weekend trimming off a little as I get knicks, and abrasions. I use the leader until I have around 1' left then I will trim my braid a few inches and retie a new leader. I use the leader for shock aborbson, abrasion resistance, easier to break off than the main braid, I use flourocarbon so the fish don't see it as easily as braid.
