Tackle -

with light tackle from 16# to heavy tackle 130#, depending
on the area and target species. Typically the medium can
be trolled with the same (16# to 130#), but it is recommended
to use at least 20# class tackle. The large lures should
be trolled with at least 50# tackle, due to their size
and amount of pull they create. The leader size used will
vary depending on the crew, tackle, and sea conditions.
