I will be keeping a 30-80lb standup class rod on my boat with a Penn 15gk 2 speed my pops donated to me cheap. I recently purchase some shark rigs to keep on the boat. I am using 400lb cable w/ a 15/0 true circle. Maybe a bit overkill, but I may use a 2lb bluefish as bait and I want to make sure I have the gear to land one provided the slim window of opportunity I may have to get one.
Reel is loaded with 80lb braid I think. If not, 65lb is going on it as that is what I have lying around.
For bait, use one of the bunkers that they are feeding on a piece of bluefish if you catch one in the area would work as well.
