I see that many guys choose to go with a short leader on their fish-finder rigs from their top shot to hook. I realize that this creates less wind resistance and makes for an easier and further cast. Intuitively I would think that having a rig with a leader that short with the bait and hook so close to the weight it would cause the bait to sink under the sand with weight after getting washed over by the current. I have not yet caught a Bull from the surf, or tested this theory so I have no justification to prove this to be true, but I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were???
