I use 10# braid as my line and 20# floro leader...no swivel, (double uni) and a noslip loop knot to the lure.

The reason I use 20# floro is these fish tend to change direction a lot and the leader rubs against their body and some times gets hit or tangled in their tail which is quite hard. I have even laso-ed a few by the tail and reeled them in backwards.

Got two more off the beach yesterday. They kick butt on light gear and give the drag a real work out. Great fish, just wish they tasted better and grew to 100#
