Tip	This will vary directly as a function of the fish you're chasing. The basic bottom rig consists of a two hook "up&down" steel rig with anywhere from a #2 to 4/0 hooks and 3-5 ozs. of lead. (Remember, you'll catch more big fish with small hooks than you'll catch small fish with big hooks.) For drum, people usually use a "fishfinder rig with a single snelled hook at the end. With a fishfinder, the weight moves up and down the running line so that you don't get as many "false" hits from the current or wind. For pompano, there are a wide variety of options. But most of them include using small (#6 - #4) gold-plated hooks. For sight-casting into pods of marauding bluefish, use either Hopkins or Conners lures or sting-silvers of the appropriate size to match the bait. For Spanish mackeral, most people either use pink, or green sting-silvers.
