So what is the recommendation? Braid -> swivel -> fluoro direct to lure? Braid -> fluoro -> snap/swivel?

I don't know how long a leader I should use, but I can't see having a 6' leader if it, or a swivel won't fit through guides easily.

I go braid -> swivel -> leader -> snap.

I suppose you could go
braid -> leader -> snap-swivel.


NEVER run the swivel through the guides!!!

I don't like snap/swivel combos so I use the former.
