Im using 18b red ice with 2x 4/0 sakuma's (a mean hook if ever there was one)....as for snood length 15"......20" and 30" see what kills and stick to it.

These gemini fixed wire grips are crazy though, already managed to bury one in my hand....the blood should pull the tope in.

all these boat tactics, everyone has different ideas, big hooks/little hooks, long snoods/short ones, little weight/heavy ones, uptide/downtide, oohhhhhh my head is hurtin
me keep it simple, two medium hooks, medium snood, heavy weight and drop over side, sit down and open a stella

30 to 50lb line is good enough for snoods/traces anything lighter tends to twist up badly in the flow,the fish dont mind and if you do hook a decent cod or a conger/ray you stand a much better chance of landing it.
Basic two or three down rigs will catch whiting/small codling/dabs and a simple pennel rig will take care of the bigger fish.
Keep it as simple as you can and you will spend more time fishing and less time untangling.

If I catch dabs/small coding/whiting then its a bad day at the office as far as i'm concerned....I can catch them in my backyard. I'm pricing those little gets out the game in search of something worth a photo

I did catch a dab on a big pennel once though.
Big baits, hard on the bottom...."smile you son of a bitch"!
