I will use leaders for things like drop shots (don't want to be cutting that much braid off every time I change out tactics) and jerkbaits (no slip loop knots make me nervous with braid, mono is much better for that type of thing imo).

Or you can tie directly to split ring or snap when use braid, get rid of unnecessary knot.

I do use snaps when I'm doing saltwater stuff, but I'm trying to break the habit when it comes to freshwater. I've definitely seen a difference in action with certain baits I have when using a snap. Plus, it seems to be frowned upon by most of the freshwater guys that I talk to. You haven't had the same experience?
