I agree that fluorocarbon works best. Rio makes a new one called the RioMax which i use for all stillwater as well as river streamer fishing. It is the highest line strength for it's diameter. The smaller diameter can never hurt when dealing with highly pressured fish. I usually tie the leader directly from my sinking like about three feet or I will tie 18in of 20lb fluoro and then another 18in of 10-12 lb fluoro off that. Streamers can draw some vicious strikes and having the beefed up leader is always a plus if your not into making fly donations.
