Shock leader length

Beach casting
A quick post to answer a simple but often asked beach casting question regarding how much shock leader and what strength leader to use.
I allways as a minium; times the weight in ounces by 10 hence:-
6oz sinker = 60lb shock leader.
I would always put 5 – 7 turns on the spool and run the leader about one and a half times the length of your rod.
