Leaders don't have to be that long
Personally, considering the plug length is usually six inches or longer that the bluefish hooked onto I make my leaders only about six inches long. That gives you twelve inches of protection before any teeth get near your line. One has to remember that keeping ones line very taught at all times is of parmount importance as well. I make some of mine only about four inches. That may be tempting faith to some people, but I don't get cut off.
