mako said it about right, except some of the place i go to you fish those 16-20s banks on half moons! on full/new moon tides during the strength you need 24 ounces or more, or you just troll. the key to 3-waying is staying in contact with the bottom. if your line is out too far, reel up and drop down again. stay in steady contact with the bottom. if you are steadily hitting bottom, reel up a few cranks. if you can't feel bottom, drop down again until you can. as for a rig, a 3-way swivel w/ about 50# loop about 6" to a foot of the swivel. then, 3' to 6' of line to a jig, eel, or whatever on the other end. never anchor to 3 way; you drift. if you anchor, you cast eels. and, you better be using braid in heavy tide rips.
