When you say 18'' leader are you referring to the hook and leader or an 18'' top shot then hook and leader? Thanks

The leader would be the line between the swivel and hook

I use both but I prefer the fishfinder rig better, and it makes traveling with the poles easier when I remove the sinker and throw the rod on my car rack.

Fish finders or 3 ways for bottom fishing.
Eggs for faster/depth control when chunking.
