Default Re: Sea Bass Rig

I use a mono top shot. Sea bass are voracious and not line shy. You could tie direct to braid with them but if fishing structure mono top shot adds abrasion resistance. Fluoro is expensive and can get costly if you're losing 8-10' top shots in sticky stuff.

Hi low for bait with 2-3 hooks is fine with a dropper at the bottom. If jigging, 15-20 lb braid, 3-4' top shot of 15-20 lb fluoro on a spinning outfit and 3000 or 4000 sized reel will def be fun. Jig size depends on current and depth. Using a teaser can help you double up but increases chances of snagging if fishing wrecks/rocks.
