Default Re: Nantucket Shoals

Bring a heavier conventional setup, like Jigging World Nexus 7'6" XH or similar, Accurate or Avet reel with 30-40lb braid, 40lb fluoro leader (they aren't line shy up there) and a traditional 3-way fluke rig or chicken rig with 2 poison tails/light bucktails to handle up to 24oz of lead. Also have a "lighter" spinning setup rigged and ready for bucktailing up to 6oz for when the current isn't ripping as hard/slack tide. Keep it simple, don't need anything fancy or crazy flashy, and I find every time I've been there they like the meat. Gulp grubs work too, but I've caught all the big girls on meat (fluke belly, whole squid, etc.).

Good luck, have fun!
