i wouldn't use a steel leader.....sounds like mostly inshore plugs, i'd use a 18"20lb flourocarbon leader

you only need a steel leader if you're after spanish, kings, bluefish, and other toothy critters

No need for a steel leader on most inshore fish. I would use either a 15 or 20# fluorocarbon leader..

if you are tying your lure straight to braid, or light mono, this is going to happen.... i'd recommend 18" of 20# flourocarbon leader.
