How long a piece of fluoro do you use?

At least stretched from arm to arm to start out with (It will grow shorter with lure changes), sometimes longer if I'm targeting bigger prey. I always tie directly to the lure. For trolling lures I use a perfect loop knot, for better action.
Note: Often I'm targeting Dorado, heavy fluoro gives the best of all worlds.
