I still don't get the 48" thing FD talks about...sounds awkward.

I use those little spro swivels and I tie my line to one end and the floro leader to the other...I leave a large (about 9" or so) "tag end" of the leader and attach the teaser to that. The tag end from the leader knot naturally hangs out at 90 degrees from the leader and this minimizes the number of knots and lines I have.
I don't have tangles or twisting. And I can't recall loosing any fish in the manner FD talks about.
I suggest you find what works for you and use it.
