I normally use a Albright. But there are others, The purpose of the shock leader is to allow you to throw more weight a longer distance so the length of the leader depends on how much you spool out in order to get that throw you want.
If you only throwing 2 or 3 oz the leader isn't always necessary. But many time in the surf you will be throwing 4 oz or more so that is the reason for the leader. I use 40 or 50 lbs test for my leader . The Reason for the length is that it will take the shock of the throw hence the name.
Here is a site that should help you more on this
