I was running a shorter 18” leader on it hoping to score some perch. I’ve been having better luck with the cats with longer 24-36” leaders.
Last week I was using only about a 12" leader...and moving more slowly...for most of the fish I got. For the perch right now the bite zone is only a few inches off the bottom. But the catfish will hit there too. When the fish are more active and the water less stained a longer leader can work better. But colder and cloudier water often takes lower and slower...with a shorter leader.
