Ditto Mike P.
Plus you need a bit of stretch from a leader so you do not rip the hooks out on a hook set.
Plus you can break a leader off when snagged on structure or bottom.
I also got a lot of wind knots and screwed up line when I started to use braid. With time you will learn the intricasies of using these lines and the learning curve is definately worth it.
One hint when using braid is to close the bail or stop the line coming off the reel a second before the lure, bait,,etc, hits the water. You will learn this through experience and will develop this touch after a while.
Good Luck
