I agree with the other posts. It's 42" and 40 pound test. Worked for me this past week. Good luck.

It depends on boat speed the longer the leader the faster the troll and the shorter the leader the slower the troll. I was told by a couple of commercial fisherman tie your hook and strech the line to your arm pit or center of chest. That length worked well for me for springs up north. I also use 40# leader like they said better action. Another tip try tying the leader directly to the flasher no swivel, it will give you better action also.
