A million brown questions

Getting ready for first brown trip. Rigging stuff up and getting ready. I have a few questions any help is appreciated 

1. I am using 10 lb floro leader, light enough?

2. How far behind planer boards and how heavy of split shot?

3. How far behind ball on rigger?

4. Is it worth bringing a 3 color core  this early?

I have rigged rods with 3 sticks and 3 scorpion spoons to start. Thanks for all the help guys. This site is the best.

10 should be ok to start with ,If you are running a 6 rods first rod on right side down the prop wash at 110 ft with a 3/8 oz split shot at the 60 ft mark second rod at 120 ft and #3 rod at 130ft and then do the same on left side as for off the ball i wouldn't run more than 2 rods and i would try 80 and 100 ft more then 2 and you might end up with a big mess, not sure about lead core ,If it was me i would say don't need it for browns, alot of guys are running stick baits but the spoons i would say most are running stinger size and not the scorpion. That should get you started and just a just to what it working from there.

I will have to stop and get some stinger size then. I have a whole big box of scorpions I use for inland lakes for landlocked and lakers and quite a few different sticks
