Alright SURF FISHING gurus -- I have a question about weights:
I have an baitcaster open faced reel on a 7 foot saltwater rod, 60 lb test, titanium leader. How much weight (in ounces, please) of weight would I normally need for simple surf fishing?
I have two other heavy duty closed reel rods that I use for bait fish, Pompano, Snapper, and Whiting that are salt water friendly, but definitely not for anything bigger than 10 lbs, and I use 2 two ounce weights and it seems to work well.....but on my big saltwater baitcaster it will snag and the reel looks like a trainwreck...I'm guessing I don't have enough weight on the lines.
Ideas? Comments? Advice?
Thank you in advance.
