I should mention one more thing here too, and that's the condition/age of your leader material. In addition to being an advocate of tying up your leaders prior to the day’s or night’s fishing, I typically purchase a brand new spool of 50# big game prior to each season. Throw last season’s stuff out and go with the fresh stuff. When I used to fish the outer cape, which is obviously all sand, I would tie direct most of the time with 25# big game and would change the line every couple of days. Just like your produce, fresh is better.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
