I focus this rig primarily on hybrid. If it catches bass in the process, then that's fine. Considering the weight of the rig with a fish on it and the possibility that you may hang more than one at a time, 50 lb braid is minimum.
Although I have a rod outfitted with one, I keep it ready for any fish busting bait. I don't throw it as much as I thought. It will wear you out quick and because of the weight, only really practical in open (deep) water.
