    4000-5000 size spinning reel setup. 4-6 foot shot of 20-40 lb. leader. 1oz or a 2oz egg sinker at the top of the leader and #4 4x strong treble on the end. Bait: squid or albacore chunks to start em off then use ballyhoo chunks. Keep a bigger setup handy. After a several of the bailers get caught and rest get fired up usually a big bull and cow will show from the deep.

    overkill. Bass tackle w/20lb braid to a leader and a hook is all you need. Any kind of bait will work. Dumbest fish in the ocean and you can handle them up to 25lbs on a 2500 Stella.

    Wouldn't say overkill more like prepared, if a wahoo eats one or the bull or cow comes up and crushes your bait. Don't forget to send a whole bally hoo out far as your drifting in case one of the latter show up. A jig tipped with a ballyhoo or a butterfly jig down deep never hurt either usally comes up with a welcome supprise
