Big fish rig question

If you were going to make up a “general purpose” live baitfish rig out of fluorocarbon leader would you use 60 or 80 pound or something else?

What are you targeting and I wouldn’t use flouro. Ain’t a damn thing out there big enough to use 60-80 gives a ratsass about flouro

Anything that would bite , say, a mullet , pinfish or blue runner

I have wire and 60 + 80 fluoro

I figured I’d make some rigs out of the flouro since I have it

Depends somewhat on the mainline and shock line if you are using it. If you only have 30lb main line it’s not going to matter.

If you are targeting toofy critters (sharks) more break off main line by rubbing it against their body or the bar if you are surf fishing than anything. So length of leader comes into play with them.
