My rig/reel setup: hollow core > 80 lb. mono top shot > bimini twist > 150 lb. wind on > crimped-on snap swivel w/chafing gear > 6' multi-strand cable > swivel > 6' single strand wire > hook. Too much leader can be dangerous with the fish boatside.
Or, one of those little snapper rigs with the bobbers on them work, too. Just back the drag down a bit
