usually 2 lengthe of the rod and 8-10 turns around the reel, obviously longer tehn if i'm fishing from high rocks or piers

As above but I usually go for 4 - 6 turns on the reel (multi).

Much longer when Conger fishing though - the idea here is to be able to get hold of the leader more quickly when handlining the fish is required.

Best knot to use = Bimini Twist - without a doubt.....

Agreed but the way I see it is better too much than too little.
