General Fishing Tips / Freshwater Line Choice

Time to re-spool two of my freshwater spinning reels - both see duty as 90% trout and 10% bass in local reservoirs.
Was thinking of going 8lb braid to about 10 ft of 6lb flouro leader. Anyone else running similar? Other suggestions?
Both currently have 6lb mono, which is working well enough, but I feel could be better. The rods are bendy enough that I feel I want a little more responsiveness, and I am certainly accustomed to the strength and durability of braid.
I am not trolling with a downrigger, mostly trolling and casting smaller crankbaits, spinners, spoons, etc. I don't really use large/heavy bass lures - I have a handful of dedicated bass rods for bigger baits if the situation calls for it.
