Notaro--when I use my conv. my shock leader is my leader, so say I'm using 20-25Ib mono as my running line and I have a 15 foot shock leader of 40Ib test then that's it. I don't use floro for my shock leaders because of the lenght--I'd go broke. I've caught plenty of big fish using simple mono for my shock leaders. I try to keep my shock leader and the running line to be the same brand. So if you using Big Game for a running, then I'd use Big Game for your shock leader. This gives me the knot confidence that I like to have. Uni to uni for the connection. I hope this helped, not sure if it did.
