Yeah I have never heard of the 100' rule either - it's interesting and I'd stick with it if it works.

I rarely will run long leaders in the neighborhood of 40' or longer, and if I do it's situational and not based on a formula. For instance running plugs I will run long leads or perhaps with a big paddle down the chute. But in those cases I also expect to be less maneuverable with the boat and to have additional tangles bringing fish to the boat.

I would say that on average we run leads in the 8' to 15' range for most situations.
