Hi DH_tubinjoe,
Right now it's shallow water rockfish and a two hook setup. What's with the heavy artillery???? ha ha
I use a 15 to 25 pound rated rod with 16 to 20lb mono or 30lb rated spectra-like line (superthin). Main reason is that the thiner line doesn't get carried so much as the thicker lines in the current. Thiner line has better sensitivity at deeper depths. The sticks sensitivity is better with lighter ratings.
Why so light? Ever catch two 20lb ling cod at a single pull? I think NOT! Hang ups?? Loose your sinker first anyway, right? Ya ya, I'm just a hopeless lite tackle guy.
