Braid straight to the duo-snap, then attach your favorite plug.

50# Tuff for pulling K-16's for kings or 30# PowerPro pulling K-11's, Warts, Hotshots, etc... for coho / steelhead.

All the fish see is the ass end of the plug wigglin' in their face anyway so there's no real need for any kind of mono leader, IMHO.

Set your reel drag accordingly and always make sure your hooks are SHARP!
