what would you all use to fish for a slot size cobia?
im tired of getten broke off. we are gonna try again on sunday.
i was using 30lb flouro as leader , but it just dont hold up.

this time im using 3' 50lb mono and 3/0 ownerhook.
7'slammer rod okuma epixor ef55a reel, and 300yds 30lb pp.
would you say that should do the trick?
i was thinking a bigger hook might be ok. like 4 or 5/0 j
what do u guys use?
thanks

All my cobia that i have ever caught have been on 50-60lb leaders and with a penn 6500-9500. All i can give you for advice is to ensure they are wore out before bringing them in green. Are you sight fishing? Can i assume that you are on Skyway? Good luck to you

sorry, we are on a boat in the anclote/hudson area. and mostly sight casting to them. anytime we put a bat out the back, a small shark grabs it first.
i only make it to the piers a few times a year.
