I generally run a 36" to 40" leader. I will shorten it up if I'm running slower or in heavy cover. Rule of thumb for bottom bouncers is 1oz for every 10fow. That being said, I rarely change from 2oz. I was right on the verge of adding another ounce. If you're running store bought bouncers I would shorten up on the leader a little. I almost exclusively use 18" home made bouncers. I run real night crawlers, just look at them in the water and if they look like they're ridiculously long, pinch some off. You don't want your spinner dragging the bottom, so get the longest bouncer possible. [fishon]
