Superline is fine. Just keep tension on the fish, you'll be fine w/o barbs. 15lb is fine. You might want to pack a spare spool of line, or a spare reel in case you hit some major twist issues.
Unless the water is gin clear, go ahead and tie directly to the lure. I'm a fan of the palomor knot with superlines. If the water is clear - you might want to look at a fluro leader. Make sure you've got something that will cut the superline (nail clippers aren't so good - I use the superline scissors). As for lures - add some 4" swimbaits (with the thumper tail), and jig heads. A few safety-pin spinner will turn them into spinner baits. I think I'd include a white color and some more perchy colors. Given the time of year - I think you'd want to go 1/4 oz and heavier to get them down to the fish. |
