I use 60 lb mono top shot that is 35 ft long. The reel is loaded with 50 lb braid. Jigging varies with the conditions. A World Record was caught with 40 lb braid.
Try to distance yourself from the guys with electric reels...
Check out the Reel Seat's page below for some of the jigs I have seen on the trips...
