I use 2 Penn 15/0, one with 80# and the other with 100# braid.
There is about 2500' on the 80 and about 6000' on the 100. I use 20/0 circle hooks. Obviously these are not casted baits, we yak them out day and night, fog or not. For casting, I use Penn 309 on Penn Slammer sticks. The cast is only about 80 feet due to the weight of the rig and bait. At night, the Charks are right behind the surf break so you don't need to chuck far.
We like to run 'em out with the yaks in hopes a larger critter will find it further out in deeper water. Plus, it's just plain fun, even without the crashes! Oh yeah, you might even catch a big Drum on a yakked out bait! Ya never know......
Mostly we do it 'cuz it looks cool and impresses the ladies 'cuz we're really tough guys.
LOL!!!!!
