I use shock leaders up to 50' but 25'-30' will serve its purpose. I find the additional 25' makes landing big fish a lot less nerve racking when they get into the break. With 8nbait there is almost no noticeable difference in casting distance. Practicing on grass there is but on unstable footing with the additional air drag of a bait and beach conditions I can't tell a difference.
