Knottable AFW Wire Leader Tips?

[RRocket]

I've been using it for the last couple of seasons but a bit haphazard and without a standard. I'd try this knot or that, with this length or that, etc

 

It will be ice out here soon (hopefully!) and this is the time of year where the pike are like pests. So I just want to see what others are doing in the hope that I can find a standard.

 

I primarily use the AFW with 3/8 bladed jig or a 3/8 (or so) topwater crankbait. I also throw these throughout the year in areas pike frequent. 

 

Just curious on others length, connection knots, leader-to-lure knot, etc

i connect to my braid with an albright, and my quick snap/lure with a 3 or 4 wrap san diego jam. length is usually 18-24 inches.  i throw mostly "bigger" swimbaits and topwater, in the 1-5oz range

Alberto for the braid connection and I spent time rigging and got quick tying a flying bowline an it's been the easiest for lure connections.  I should try a 3-4 wrap sdj for swim and regular jigs this year.  Tired of losing them.
