looking for the best swivel and size to connect copper to the leader, and the Power Pro to the copper. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

I think the choice is between the #3 Spro (150 pound test) that Chris suggested and the slightly smaller#8 Spro power swivel (50 lb test) and some of it depends on the size of the diameter of your rod eyes and type of rod tip but Spro makes a great swivel in either case. There are some applications where the quality of the swivel may be less important but this isn't one of them

I use a swivel between the backing and the copper but not between the copper and the leader.

 

backing to copper  I use the #8 spro as the #6 although it runs the the guides just fine, it will not run through the gap on the level wind on my reel.  So check that out before you rig it.

 

Copper to leader.  I use an albright knot http://www.animatedknots.com/albright/index.php?Categ=fishing&LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com to 50 lb flourocarbon leader material.
