Looking to run a fluoro leader from my braid to a swivel. Looking to use 6 lb test for the leader. What size of swivel should I look for? I'm buying them online, and don't know the sizes very well. Any help is appreciated!

I would just tie your fluorocarbon direct to your braided line unless you're using something that this really spinning under the water.

Swivels can catch on your eyelets.
That FG knot Piker posted looks like a Keeper.

There's another knot I use I'm not sure what it's called though attaching fluorocarbon to braided line

These are all good knots but I think the trilene is the best one when you're out on the ice and you got to do it fairly quick, with no tools in my opinion.

I use the Trilene knot and it's never failed me.

Probably a 6 , 8 or even 10 size swivel would work.

I just tie it directly together so I can reel it right up through my reel guides

I’d go for spro power swivels in a size 8. They are 3/8” long, tiny and have a 50 lb break strength. The #10 are the same size but are rated for 35lb so might as well just get the #8. They are crazy small, I love em.
