Here's a list of the set-ups I'm gonna bring on my back to back Pac Queen trips in a week and a half.....
Fathom 15ld2 on a PCH 801H= 25/30# bait
Speedmaster 12ii on a PCH801XH= 40# bait
Speedmaster 16ii on a UC GP Predator= 50# bait
Fathom 40nld2 on a PCH 741XXH= 60# bait, sinker rig, yo-yo, light flat fall
Mak 16ii on a PCH 741XXXH= 80/100# flat fall
Saragosa 10,000 on a Black Hole Challenger Bank 801H= 40-60# irons, snipers and poppers
Now to figure what and how much tackle I want/need to bring ;D ;D ;D ;D
Also saw your post on BD, but would rather answer here. Looks like you have all the bases covered, maybe a 20 or 30 size big reel for the night time flat fall bite with 100# or 130#...
You'll have a blast regardless, go get 'em!!
Looks like your ready to rock Pj. If you havent already be sure to rerig your flatfalls and poppers with at least 200lb leaders and 300 or 400lb swivels also spring chafes with your crimps. Mono should be fine for leader as long as its quality line like Jinkai or Momoi. Best of luck to you and tight lines!

My buddy has a 20/30 size reel we'll use for flying a balloon but my Mak 16 will be my night time flat fall rig....
Looks right on point brother....I did have Alan re-rig my nighttime flat falls....he used 300 lb mono, 10/0 (?) hooks, huge swivels and brazed split rings.....Bill
I use 200lb swivels on my night time flat falls with 200lb Ande mono leader.
Do I really need 300-400 swivels?
Heading out in two weeks on a 4 day on the Pacific Voyager on the 27th.
the fish are small right now. 60 to 80 pound mono and a straight tie to a knife jig will work fine. the big ones need 300 pound mono, but not the little ones.
