Mike - another excerpt.
When fishing in this environment it is wise to use heavy duty tackle. A nine to ten foot rod with lots of back bone is ideal. A matched reel loaded with at least 20 pound line will allow you to put the screws to large bass that want to run into the various rock and weed snags prevalent in these areas. This is not finesse fishing – there is no room for light tackle unless you want to lose plugs. Bass are in these areas to feed and will readily hit your offering if presented properly. You have to be ready to yank them out of the structure.
I personally use Big Game 20 lb mono. Heavy mono leader 50-60 lb.
