I feel it depends on a few variables, depth, current strength,light conditions, and if you are fishing on a decline or a incline.
I use 6' leader with 5' droper, this also makes it easier to net the fish with the longer leader even if you use a slider. I feel that differnt strength of tides makes the hot hole change slightly in or out? Well thats is my .02 cents. :shrug: Don't forget about the coyotees!
Good luck.
