80lb Hollow core JB, Power Pro or Cortland(dang I wish I was still on thier prostaff) spliced into 100-300 yards of 80 diamond.
That's the way to go!

And I've fished 10lbs of drag and 20lbs of drag... if fishing J hooks go with the heavy drag! Like Night Fighter said, better to lose one after 10 minutes than 3 hours(been there done that )
