Best Yo-Yo setup?

Santa brought me some Salas and Tady iron for Xmas. I have never tried the yo-yo technique but plan to very soon. My question for the experts in this forum is "what is the rod, real, line setup to use for yo-yoing.

I have a stiff rod with a Torium reel, currently loaded with 40# spectra and a short, (4') top shot. Will this setup work? Should I switch to mono? Is the leader too short?

I also have an old Sealine on a longer, more flexible rod with 15# mono. Would this be suitable? Should I put on heavier line?

What about swivels? Should they be used or should the lure be tied directly to the leader?

I await your expert advice.

Bob
