Why you want kings? Not good to eat.
I have my reasons... Fishing some rodeos this summer that have a king category and they make awesome big snapper bait.
Sounds like I need some steel leaders. We have plenty of trolling baits. How close to the rig are we talking?

Flouro leaders work fine if you are fishing for bait as they are easier to rig for me anyway. I would use wire if I was targeting a big king for a prize. In my own experiance they are rarely alone so losing a few when fishing for bait is not a biggie.
As close as you like, I would try to stay within 100 ft or so but just have not tried futher out. I have never targeted kings on purpose so others probably know more about it than I do.

As close as you can get the bait to pass to it if the current isn't ripping. Some days going against the current is the ticket and some days better to go with the current. 
Use single wire leader. 3' -5'.
