Braided Line Input Needed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Okay, I'll reveal my ignorance, and probably destroy the thread with a stupid question.

I have always just fished mono. Recently I put spectra on one of my reels. So far I like the way it fishes. I haven't been using a leader. Is this completely stupid? Is there a reason to always use a mono or other leader? Is it to add some stretch in the end of the line, or to have less visible line?

Thanks! Adam
