If you are getting old like I am you have trouble tying knots & untangling wind knots at night. You need to try fluorescent line with a blacklight headlamp..the line glows like a rope..easierto tie than during daylight. If you use a chartruese jighead like I do dbl bonus it glows aswell & is easy to thread on the line. I use trilene excel line..17lb test and have not hook a fish that can break it..have had two rods snap in half with 30-40lb rays but the line has always held. I also use Sluggos almost exclusively & don't know why I carry anything else.If I am not getting hits on it I never seem to catch anything on all my backup lures. Use of a 3/8 oz jighead is best as it allows the sluggo to dart lft & rt as you work it in. Have caught every species in nj on this lure.
Forgot to mention..makes fishing from a rockpile at night much easier since you can see your line almost to the water & thus avoid the rocks. Go get em!
