Krispy,

I fish one of the areas in Rhody you fishished this past year. During the early part of the season I use 40# Flouro on plugs and 50# eeling, from August 20th on I go to 50#/60# respectivly. As for line very seldom exceed 30# Fireline.

Best knots I have found are palomer(98% of line strength, clinch knot is only about 90%) on the eel hook and a loop knot, such as Homer Rhode loop or Rapala loop to the plug.

Hope this helps
