If your fly is landing after your line your leader is not turning over and is probably too light or long for the fly being thrown. A Clouser being relatively heavy requires a shorter & stouter leader. I use about 4' of 40 pound butt section with about 30" of 20 pound leader loop to looped for most of my salltwater fishing. For bluefish I use a 4-5" trace of solid Malin tobacco colored .014" wire haywire twisted on each end. This will provide enough protection when bluefish are around and won't bother the bass. I like the loop to loop connection because leader replacement is a snap. I just use Berkely Big Game or Maxima for the butt section and Berkely Vanish f/c for my leader sections because it is cheap and it works.
