My quiver, Light to Heavy:
UC Tilefish Jr + Torque 25 nld2 - 30#
UC Terminator + Torque 30/2 - 40#
UC Predator + Fathom 30/2 - 50#
UC GP Terminator + Fathom 40 nld2 - 60#
UC Centaur + Mak 16 SEa - 80#
UC Viper + Mak 20 SEa - 100#
UC Zeus 3 + Fathom 40 nld2 - 60# (Knife Jigs)
Questions:
(1) Is 7 sticks too many for a 4-day?
(2) Which of these rigs is the best one for Sinker Rig? Too light and you can't handle a big BFT. Too heavy, do you have to worry about not getting bit? The candidates in my mind are the 60# or 80# rigs.
(3) Is there a mission on a 4-day for the 50# stick? Have always heard that they will eat 60 if they will eat 50. Should I leave the Predator/Fathom 30 behind? Would this rig be more capable/useful if I upgraded the Fathom 30/2 to a Fathom 40 nld2?
(4) I am planning to use the Viper + Mak 20 for night time flat falls (first trip for this rig; gotta bring it!). Is there value in bringing the Centaur + Mak 16 also, or are these essentially duplicates for a trip like this?
Thanks for any thoughts.
