A shock leader should typically be 1.5 to 2 times the length of the rod being used, usually ranging from 10 to 30 feet, depending on the fishing conditions and the type of fish being targeted. This length provides enough stretch and strength to absorb the impact of a sudden tug or strike, reducing the risk of breaking the main line. Adjustments can be made based on specific fishing environments and personal preferences.
