Kippy,

This is easy. First I assume or hope your dealing with a 113H and not an older 113. Start with at least 80# dacron backing, some guys use 100#. Put on enough as to not short yourself with a small spool. Hard to give you an exact amount but I''d fill it about 2/3 of the way with backing. Next is your wire. I use 50#, some use 60#. Use an Albright knot to connect. Spool on 300 feet of wire and go fishing. No need for a mono shocker or anything, just tie direct from wire to jig. After I catch 5 bass or so I usually cut and retwist my jig as over time things weaken.

Make sure the rod your using has eyes that will withstand the wire abuse. Nothing like the feling of a forty pounder grabbing a jig. Well at least I can say lots of 30's.
