Same size as you except I tie double uni knot. I keep leader shorter...usually around 3 ft or less. You don't want your leader knot going back and forth through the eye of your reel and the less guides of your rod it has to travel through the better imho.
Ding Ding Ding, We have a winner! 2 to 3 ft leader so the eyes in the guides don't get knocked loose from the line knot passing through them.
