I normally use a 10 foot 16# or 12# test tapered leader. Recently my son has started using 6 foot leaders for the peacock bass. (they are not leader shy) He feels that the shorter leadert allows him to fish more water from shore out to the boat befor you have to make the next cast. Some one suggested I make my own leaders.... 3 feet of 60# test and 3 feet of 30# test, then the tippet.

Does this sound right??? 60#? & 30#?
Also , what knot would you suggest?
