i was running a 28 inch with limited success.Guys were outfishing me with 40-44inch. I switched and went longer and noticed an improvement.
Ps pick up the speed a bit wiht longer leaders.
...really depends! I slay chinook in Alberni with a 24 to 28 inch 40lbs leader, pulling a tiny 1 1/2 inch hot pink spoon bind a hot spot 690 or oki jellyfish flasher. In Nanaimo I use a 36 to 42 inch and in French creek I use 44 and in Qualicum I use the same as I do in Port Alberni. Speed varies between 2 and 3 mph.
I use my GPS to govern speed but watch my rod tips to see what the currents are doing and calculate the 2. Generally slower speeds means shorter leaders ie 28" to 32" for 1.8 to2.2 mph and 40"-44" for 2.5 to 3 mph
