Thanks!
I would say 30” is about max on teaser leader , many times it’s 20-24”.

Teaser being further back gives presentation of one being chased , or one lagging back .

As far as bucktail ratio , it’s more than likely height off the bottom .
Try swimming the bucktsil 12-18” off the bottom , and just occasionally touch bottom dropping your rod tip to check your still close .

Will be more natural presentation as well as a few less snags in the ruff stuff .
