Stick...you ever not use a leader with PP when going for trout?
One shot spool ran empty on me once this year, so I ran straight 10lb PP. I've always used leaders with braid, for trout and the like, but I couldn't really tell a difference.
Been tempted to go a lighter PP, and skip the leader.

Depends upon what's going on and Chameleon is my favorite for gettin' down & dirty,as per it's ability to fend abrasion.
I'm all about numbers,so am hip on PP mainline to a barrel swivel and leaders from there,because I can change quickly to suit what's going on. As an aside,I like hi-vis PP mainline oftentime for Drift Fishin',especially when throwing in with The Gang and going sheer ruthless in high volume pursuits. Easy to see who's where and sort out lotsa feesh being on,all at the same time.
Seldom do I drive braid less a leader,though I will in unique circumstances...........

Some fair,others not so much. Depending upon the body.
Digging the Canon 1D3 as a Feesh Body though.................

Like Firelne for diameter per lb test and no stretch characteristics but tying the lighter weights makes me feel like I have baseball bats for fingers--that is frustrating for me.
Spent some time today changing lines; will use some Fireline but also Berk XL mono and also some fluorocarbon at different weights.

I like Fireline with a 3-4" mono leader bent on with a surgeons knot. Dynamite hook set with 0 LINE JUMP.
