I use 50lb. MONO. ( try picking those little knots out of the braid in minus 20* F.)

High low, no bells, no whistles, no beads. I use a 7/0 baitholder, each hook 2 to at least 3 feet apart. Big water, big hooks, big baits, big sinkers, big rods, big reels, leave the fluke stuff at home. Go big or go home.

I use Mason hard nylon to tie my own rigs, 50lb. test.

Pack 3 boxes of frozen squid (whole frozen 8" long) Whole squid on each hook..........THUMPA.....THUMPA.......THUMPA !!! Have fun !!!

I like your style Andy. You don't want to fool around with the lighter tackle. With the 15 fish limit you want the bigger baits and hooks. You will have no problem with a Pollock either with that rig. Those sea bass have big mouths and even a smaller one could inhale a squid.

Good advice.
