I like a 50lb mono leader (if a good size blue hits it right it's a gonner,but that the chance I take).

I also tied lures directly to 20lb test spider wire with no problems.

I like the heavy leader, because it's easer to pull the fish into a boat, I got a quick refresher the other day that bluefish + a net + treblehooks = lots of untangling time.
