I'd use 100-130# and about 30 feet wind on leader. You can buy them premade by basil.
That's just a shot in the dark though

Was talking with a spotter pilot locally who believes that swords can be taken rod and reel 60 miles east of Boston at places like Franklin Swell.
If someone were to put the time in, they're there.

I always have a few of the vacuum packed pre-rigged giant squids from baitmaster on board. Just clip them on with a weight and your swordfishing.
I would bring a good jigging rod/reel set up for butterfly style jigging on anchor and a bag-O'-jigs

You think night fishing, or that daytime deep drop stuff they do down in Florida.

both. He was saying especially earlier this year. There was an edge of tropical water that had moved in. It was definitely holding swords on the thermocline. |
