Thanks, one more question!
At the end of a CT there isnt a snap swivel its just a swivel that I have no
idea to attach a leader to. I was wanting to slap a 12inch leader on there but I have no clue how to attack it to the little swivel or whatever cause
there dosent seem to be a snap. Im talking about the real small ones with
2 circles on each end, and have no snap.

Ok, how do I attach a leader at the end of a CT?

The only way I know is to tie some fishing line im not sure how to put
a leader on there.

Most of us use Fleuro leader. I use 20#. Tie a piece of line to the small swivel on the brass bead end of the CT. Tie your bait so it hangs on that line, 18" to 30" below the cork. Length of leader is something you'll have to experiment with. It depends on water clarity, water depth, and how finicky the fish are.

I tie 30# mono on for a leader, but if you feel the need for a wire leader, then you will have to buy some leader sleeves and crimp it on yourself.

Most of the time I use 20# Flouro, sometimes heavier. Like TC said length depends on the fish, last time out I was using 2 ft leader in 4ft water.
