CDS,

Purchase Penn 345 GTI or Penn 340 GTI, a good rod (I purchased a 8' leadcore rod), one 300 yd spool of 50 lb. power pro and 30 lb. seagar florocarbon for the leader. You can go with a 200' copper for 40 - 45' down, 300' copper for 60 - 65' down, 400' copper for 80 -85' down, 500 copper for 100 - 105' down or a 600' copper for 110 - 115 down. A Penn 340 will hold 200' and 300' of copper,backing and leader. A Penn 345GTI will handle the rest of the combos. Attach the backing to the copper and the copper to the leader with the albright knot. Go to the At-tom-mik webiste and they have already spooled Penn reels (copper, backing, and leader) for a great price. Don't be shocked when you see the price of the set up. Copper is expensive to run. Run the copper off of plainer boards or tail gunning right off the back of the boat.
