I always use smaller test for the leader than the main line....if I get snagged I'd rather lose a couple of feet of leader than 20-30 yards of braid.

If I'm fishing 50# braid I use a 30#(Ocean front) or 40# (the Ditch) leader. If i'm using 30# braid I use 23-25# leader.

I also use the SPRO 130# swivels on everything except my schoolie setup...

but this is just what I do, there are other guys that do it different. I don't do the direct tie to the line because it pretty much takes me 10 minutes to tie one sitting in my livingroom, let alone in the dark standing on a rock.
