This is a really long leader, but for popping, one about 5-6' is occasionally used for protection around coral heads.

For jigging, you can just do a mini one.

Would using 40# seven strand be ok and would a figure 8 knot hold or should I crimp it?

I plan to try the twisty leader too but want another tool in my arsenal should the cutoffs be abundant that day.

I saw the other vid on how to connect the leader to the bimini but how do you connect the tag end(s) to the lure?
