I consistantly use a 16 ft leader. But I am a little weary about using it. I make sure my directly behing me. Last sunday my dad embedded a hook right to the eye in his cheek. And he only uses an 8ft leader. Good thing it was barbless. :-\

never mind a 30 foot leader, you can have a 200 foot leader just by tying your BBetty onto the very end of your line. about 15 feet up from the end of the line, tie the line into a palomar knot and add your hook. cast out with all your might and you've got yourself a 200 foot + long leader that bounces along and flosses the fish. AND, because your weight is at the END, you wont get nailed by DFO for leader length.

please note the SARCASM in my post......... 8)
