I have reels with all 3; braid, Flouro, Mono.

the simple answer as to why is, no matter what knot you use that leader will eventually break. Most likely with your PB spitting the lure back at you after it does.

1 knot. I learned to fish using braid in the early 50's and changed to monofilament line in the late 50's to early 60's when it became availble because it was transparent and easier to cast.

^theres another reason not to use braid/leader. Math and statistics are involved. If I have to consider standard deviation while fishing, then I'm doing it wrong

Braid doesn't feed well off the reel spool on baitcasters if you're trying for distance.    Braid digs into the spool under heavy load (a heavy pull).    Braid has lousy abrasion resistance.
