I have fished the waters off Chatham for 10 years or so out of my friends boat, and we are very successful in all the classic articficial presentations. And yes I am one of the few who really enjoy wire line fishing. We have our own system so to speak with gear and presetations that we like. That said we never really bait fish much. I just purchased a boat (trailered) last year and want to get into bait fishing a bit more - most likely some chunking, and fishing clams as well as eels. I also want to try this "tog" thing as I have never caught one but since I am mobile I can launch out of different areas to target different species.

My question is - for this type of bait fishing are you all using braid with a leader or straight mono? What types/lb ratings? Why?

Thanks in advance.
