When the staging kings show up and get all brown and their nasty fighting teeth come out, try beefing up your leaders to prevent break offs. For J-plugs I started tying a 3-4' piece of mono direct to the hook harness on one end and the other end to a small 50# barrel swivel. The small swivel can be slid through the body of the plug and attached to the snap or snap swivel on the mainline. The plug can still slide up the line if that's what you prefer and you now have a 40# or 50# leader to take all the abuse of kings rolling in the line and biting through it. If you want to change plugs, just slide a new one on. The leaders can be tied up ahead of time and stored on swimming noodes. The closed cell foam accepts hooks well and the barrel swivel can just be pushed into it as well. The larger diameter swim noodles make for a less noticeable line memory as well.
