    If the person's never fished for barracuda before I would NEVER recommend fishing for them with light line. Doing so would increase their chances of losing the fish. I would highly recommend AT least 20 or 25 pound mono. Once they've gotten the feel of them and if they want to try going lighter line then go for it but not in the very beginning.

    If your on Moo-Moo's and throwing the iron don't even bother w/less than 25#! Almost keep the drag buttoned down! Look behind you cast out reel in....when you "feel" the jig stop KEEP tuning the handle!!! Do not swing! And with the "rope" your using you don't have to call for gaff. Just make sure as the Garr is coming over the rail put it in free spool. Good luck and have fun!
