1.5' sounds kind of short for the Carolina rig leader. I'm pretty new to this too, so guys, please correct me if I'm wrong. I would tend to go at least 4 feet of leader from the swivel - probably closer to 6 feet. Halibut may be an exception to this though.

It would be challenging with a 6ft leader to gaff a big fish. The swivel would stop the leader from coming on to the rod and you would have to lift the rod way up in the air to get a gaff shot. 3-4 would be max on a carolina for me. |
