In Response To: Spread for Mr. Blue??? (rob cromie)

Nice spread. Don't forget the '1656'. I also wouldn't be afraid to pull a 'Bog Eye' or a Schneider 'Rattle Yap' they get a few looks from time to time. But any of the stuff listed on this thread works. Remember half the time these things eat cause their mad not hungry.
Now:
What rods 30's-50's-80's or 130's.
Oh God! which reels, what line, whose guides?
What hook sets will you use- single, single stiff, double cable or a double stiff rig?
What hooks Super Marlin 7696, Southern Tuna7691, open throat 7731/7754- a mix of each?
Stainless or plated?
What leader material 400-600-800?
What drag setting on strike 10lb or 25lb?
Where do you fight the fish light or heavy drag?
Stay on him with the boat or ease back and let the fish lead?
Tag lines or Tripees?
Do you dare fish a center rigger or take the risk of crossover on the bite?
What boat speed 11 kts or 5 kts?
Teasers? Which ones?
Decisions, Decisions!!!
I'd say the lures are the least of the concerns.

Any way Nice spread
