Hi Steve,
I use 12" titainium leaders for twichin
and smaller crankbaits. :)
For the heaver baits I use a 12" single
strand wire..90# leader.

I tie my own. I use a Ball Bearing Swivel (40#) on the line tie end and stringease stay lok snaps (the really light ones which I think are #3's). I connect the hardware with 100# piano wire using a haywire twist. Haven't quite taken the final plunge to using split rings, despite a few personal horror stories.

I use Re-bar and cable lok clasp!
LOL
;)
No need to mess around eh?

Really though, I use a number of Different wires and swivles.

Also rig a few with out Sampo #125 LB Snaps to use with the Bucher split rings.

Seems to work.

I use a 25cm steel wire single strand leader of 0.8mm diameter and on one end a quality swivel, on the other end a good old coastlok snap of 100lbs.
