I learned a few years back a trick on taking your 4-5 leader and cutting it about a foot (after knots) from the bottom, then tie the swivel back to it, and on the longer part of the leader install your beads and fishfinder rig for the weight, then double uni to the main line. The idea was that since the reds are bottom feeders, it keeps the bait closer to thier strike zone, worked GREAT for me vs just having the 1 piece long leader. I use 60# mono & 8/o circles attached to 50# braid.
