for leads I'm using penn 4/0 on 6-6 star Slow rods, not especially by choice but by chance, deal I couldn't refuse the deal years ago,,
make sure to put a swivel between the lead and leader,,,, try to get the lead out of the braid to tie the knot at the leader.
like Paul said, the jigmaster will work fine also, the 4/0 may be a little over kill but not by much
for wire I'm running same gear for 40 yrs.
Penn double lever 349's on 6-6 Harnel telephone poles.
100 yrds wire, split 50/50 with a generous pcs of Dacron between the two 50's
go get um
