Been using #20 mono (Momoi Diamond) for years for clamming.

Early in the season when fishing the backbay, I'll use #20 flurocarbon for leader. Once the water warms up and bluefish show up I'll go to either #30 or 40 depending on the amount of bluefish bites (more bluefish bites the heavier I go as I just don;'t like wasting time re-tying & it doesn't seem to effect the striper bite).
