Braid to long leader - I bring it back to the reel, crazy alberto knot. No swivel needed - uni to breakaway clip. Check the leader for chafing and retie as necessary. I use a ande backcountry mono leader lighter than the braid to allow breakoffs in the ditch when hanging up.
With this set up the leader is actually 20 ft. to start with for a 10 /2 ft. rod. It allows many reties to the leader before I have to change the entire leader. The alberto knot is as strong as I have found if tied properly.

low & slow 37
