 You wanting something heavy or lightish mate? Presuming heavy PE6 or something? Saragosa 18000 will be unbreakable running 80lb with a monster mesh pe6-8 or a second hand tcurve deep jig 400. If you shop around should come in under 500.

If you are planning to jig

If you are planning to jig out at the deep spots (100m+) and you want to avoid feeding the sharks more than necessary, I would suggest the heavier 80lb outfit.

You can of course land big ones on a 50lb outfit and lighter, but it takes time, which gives the sharks the time they need to get a free feed.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
