I'm wondering what leaders people find work best for gliders and Suicks, thanks.

I make my own American fishing wire stainless steel bronze, no swivel I tie direct to leader and then a split ring from leader to bait. I don't like The extra weight from the swivel that will cause the leader to sink when paused

I do the same as above - #174 single strand wire but I use a solid steel ring on the bait side of the leader. I have found that when you use a split ring directly on the end of the wire leader that the wire can start to work it's way off the split ring. The solid ring solves this problem. Triple loop split rings do not work with all baits so keep that in mind. I use #5 solid rings for shorter leaders for smaller baits that will only take double split rings and #6 solid rings for longer leaders and baits that can take triple split rings. I also tie directly to the leader.
