The line on my reel is 20LB.

A 5/6 coloured feather trace or tinsel rig will usually be 50lb line. I use a 3oz weight on the end.

I was down there last Monday night and there was none caught, there were only about 10 up on the pier altogether. I was talking to a fisherman at a boat there who said that they haven't come in yet and even the lads in the boats are going out 5 miles before getting anything.
