It should be against the worm.

I don't peg it so it slides up and down the line. Could you be referring to a Carolina rig?

If so there is no set length-I've used leaders from 18" to 3-4 feet

I use bullet weights when I texas rig, usually a 1/8 oz. I don't use a swivel.

jonny, that is what I'm referring to with the leader. I use anywhere between 18" and 3-4 feet depending on where I'm fishing.
