I use a long line clip or rubber band to attach my light or glow stick about 20 feet back from the bait and take this off when tight on the fish and can reel the fish all the way to the swivel. At the swivel I have a short leader about 5 feet. The fish is in gaff range and no hand-lining necessary really.
Long leaders have done me well when I first got started though. I guess its just a matter of person preference.. both are effective.

H e double hockey sticks yes, Basil makes THE best top shots and windons.
Period. He's the best.
Basil Pappas work is par none.
See them fail?? show me!!
That is why I asked my question about why everyone seemed to liked long leaders.
I'll reread these posts. Try to see what I've missed.
Lemme know! I wanna catch a sword too.
I'm happy to change... Jus need a reason
