For Trout and Bass I would think Braided line wouldn't be a good choice unless you're using a foot or 2 of fluoro or mono on the end.
Funny thing, years ago I caught lot's a big Pickeral in the 24 - 28 inch range and never used any leaders or anything, just 8lb line with a swivel. And usually Daredevils or Shiners and Bluegills.

I use usually about 9" of 25lb. flourocarbon as a leader when fishing the river, both with live bait and with lures. A little barrel swivel in between that and my braided line has suited me well catching Pike, LMB's, SMB's, Rockbass, Perch and Sunnies on the river.
With all the snags in the Passaic, I was going through a spool of Mono in less than a month with all the breakoffs. Since I switched to PowerPro braid, snags will only cause the line to break off my leader, which is fine by me. It's good stuff.
