I use single strand ss wire run a deep plug and a spoon far back off the fly bridge but let it out slow and expect to loose a few lures and wire lot of guys will wreck it coming in or letting it out so expect that to happen but it can be a great bite may of times limited out just on wire also I use a floro leader and yes a 6lb steel head will trash it fast and just a heads up do not tighten down the drag all the way it has no stretch and can break a rod good luck grumpy out on 68
