Main line to spreader. 3 Feet of leader to glow off spreader. Go even longer if fishing faster water. 12-18" piece of line off bottom of spreader to wedge weight. To make it even simpler go to your local tackle shop and they should carry pre rigged Fraser River Bar Rig's. They have a wire to attach your weight to and never tangle up.

Here's a pic off another forum of what I'm talking about:
