Re: Sea bass newbie
It’s on the light side for bait but it’ll work. With the current, you generally fish 16-20oz of lead. Not familiar with the med black hole but I fish the heavy.
While you’ll have no issues catching fish using light line, it’s more common to use 50-65 so you can bust out of the wreck when hung up. There’s a lots of old line down there and the heavier line gives you a chance to break it while keeping your rig. I tie my rigs with 50 for that purpose, but the fish won’t be biting through 40.
When they are on the jig, it’s my favorite way to catch them. Your outfit sounds similar to my jig setup
