    Metal leader between 6 and 9" long in the 30-40 pound range.

    30-40# leaders are not adequate by any stretch of the imagination for muskies.  I am assuming you will be using at least 60# braid and it wouldn't make much sense for your leader to be the limiting strength component in your setup. 
     
    Whatever leaders you choose just make sure they use premium ball bearing swivels.  The 30# Berkely ones available are barely sufficient for perch.
