Your location, you may have good luck with normal gear. personally i use too use eagle claw hooks. Until recently they have been sheering off around the eye. Switch too gamakatsu octopus hooks, and mustad brand Demon perfect circle hooks. They are a lil pricey but they are heavy duty and sharp. If your using a pole, try either a carolina rig,dropshot, or a the slip cork.For my big cat pole i have 40 lbs mono on a 12 foot high tide shimano pole with a zebco sw sport reel.
Ive lived here in louisiana my whole life and i have yet too snag that big 15+lbs cat. But hope some of this helps, dont need a real monster pole n rod. The new power pro lines let you keep your your small diam. line size with braided power. I prefer a good spinning reel with a decent clicker drag.
As always keep an open line.
