I think the general consensus is braid -> swivel -> leader. Whether you tie direct or use a clip is your choice.

I don't know about in the Hingham area, but just about any shop on the Cape should carry them. All the usual suspects around the Canal have them - Red Top, Canal B&T, Charlie's, etc.

I like a fair amount of line out when I cast, that's why I use the 5'-6' length. I wouldn't go below a 4' leader to avoid having the fish rub against the braid.
