Art, I was actually using a spinning rod, 10lb main line and 6lb flouro leader with a powerbait sandworm, aka crack. I had not been to that spot yet and wanted to check it out before taking the flyrod. Usually in the surf, if I flyfish, I take a 7 weight, with a 4 or 5 foot leader of 6lb flouro. I just had a full sink line put on my flyreel so I might try that next time...
