Lightest you wanna go is 30lb braid and 40-50lb mono leader. 4000-5000 reel on a medium heavy rod. You want to get these big fish up quickly so you don’t kill them. Don’t come out with a 2500 and fight them for 15+ minutes
Surely you could but there are usually other fish around the bait like blue fish and maybe a trout or two that would give you a headache rebating hook every cast.
Another great video Chris.

Big drum will bite the cork? (I know they'll take topwater but I'd never heard this be a problem with cork).
Yes, some people even put hooks on the popping cork but i won’t because I don’t want to foul hook
What kind of line and poundage do you use for these reds?
Did you ever get an answer?
55-65lb braid
