kippy,
What are you using for line? If you are using mono for your main line you a piece of 40lb mono should work just fine. If you are fishing braid you want your leader to break before your main line so you don't lose too much of the high cost braid, the leader also stretches to absorb soem of the shock of casting. The way you rig it will change on if you are fishing with spinning or conventional tackle. With spinner you should tie a swivel onto your line and attach the leader to the swivel. THe leader should be short enough so you can cast without pulling the swivel through the tip. With a conventional you can tie your leader straight to the mainline and it can be as long as you want it, just be careful casting the knot can do a job on your thumb.
