Kevin Vang built a great page for our clave a couple years ago,

That's a great place to start.
One thing I'd add to what I've read in your other responses is that 8
inches of wire just isn't enough if there are any big pike around.
They can inhale a fly and have it a full foot down their throat. I've
seen 6 or 8 nice fish lost because fishermen (including myself once)
have settled for 8 inch leaders instead of tying a new one.
