Thanks for the info. I know that on a PB, gear has to be heavy enough to land the fish from a stationary platform, no chasing the fish! I landed my first YFT on a PB this year, and thanks to heavy gear I was able to land the fish quickly and without tangles. Swords can be another story. Ballon is added after bait has reached desired depth? Light is hooked where leader meets mainline? If large squid are not availabe, several smaller live squid OK?
