I'm thinking you're tie-ing your offering directly to 20 mono (your main line w/NO leader at all)...right?

If yes,...I would use a 40# or 50# leader (Ande or Trilene MONO), swivel on one end, break-away clip on the other. I don't normally use anything longer than 3 feet. When wading with longer leaders...I can't dip the rod low enough to load my cast without my offering sitting in the water. I sometimes have to shorten the leader if the tide is rising and I don't want to back up...and the reason I stick to an average of 3 feet is because I don't want a diversity of leaders to choose from in the heat of the moment. I'll adjust as needed, if needed.

If no, disregard the above.

God Bless you too.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
