I like tapered leaders for freshwater. That's another personal preference though. I like the leader 6-9 feet long.
When you practice with the yarn, I would tie it to the leader so you can practice a roll cast to straighten out your line.
Another tip is to wear an old pair of sunglasses or protective goggles. I've been whipped in the face, across the arms and I've hit my glasses a few times. Don't want you to put your eye out.
