How many anglers use long leaders?

Missed that Homie - sorry

Poppers rigged with terminals - between 130g and 200g (typically on a 7'8" rod, fast action)
Stickbaits rigged with terminals - between 70g and 120g (in my instance, on a 8' rod, with softer tip)

Not cast in concrete, but this is where I am at now.

I still dig my 4m Twisted leaders... joined by a CatsPaw, no problem to cast.

i have been using 100lb whiplash and a 90 lb dacron leader of 6 m for my ultegra and its works like a bomb!

I've got JB 40lb solid as mainline on one of my spools. I use 6m 130lb JB hollow as a leader. It is the best braid I have ever used.

Casting good?

Not bad. Best cast was 128m with a 4oz.

Howzit,  for my leader setup i use 6 m 130lbs braid leader connected to a 1 meter nylon leader at the end on the 50lbs setup.  I generally use it as a medium out fit so i throw 6 ounce + bait, so far did not  have any finger burns or break offs.

What knot do you use to join your braid leader to your mainline braid?

Hi  Half Pint

To join the braid main line to the braid leader i use the stitch knot.  I find this knot very strong and its not really a knot so it goes nicely through the guides.  To join the braid leader to the 1m mono leader i use the bob sands knot which i have found to be very strong as well.  The reason i like the 1m nylon at the end,  is not only for the abrasion resistance but i am more confident tying nylon to my trace then tying knots in braid.

Thanks! Don't you battle to stitch the braids while on the beach?

On the beach i doubt i would dare.  If i do have to break off then i would use the second spool, and failing that,  I would use the double uni knot but i am sure there is someone here that knows a better knot for joining two braids together.
