terminal gear advice?


hi all,
New on this site - I am heading to Loreto last week of FEB though March 14 and I need some advic on what terminal gear to have.

I will bring;
one big boat rod with level wind with 80lbs braided line (200-300 yards) and
one big spinning rod with the same or similar (for Deb) - in case we can get
to the jurel

two lighter rods with spinning and level wind reels with 20-30lbs line
braided or mono...

one smaller steelhead rod (6ft heavy action) with 15-20lbs line...

kastmasters, crocodiles (size?), and broken back rapalas (colors?)...

I need advice on terminal gear -

hooks? size and type?
leader? size? any wire?
weight? 6,8,10,12, etc, oz?
any other lures to bring?

anything else you can think of?

Hooks, I use Owner circle hooks, Mutu in 2/0 and 3/0, if you prefer J hooks then Owners strike again in 4/0 or 5/0 size. I have a whole collection of straightened out Mustad hooks so have quit using those. Eagle claw Mag 118 are good too but have a tendency to allow the bait to shake loose.
If you have Spectra you will need a topshot of mono or Flouro in the 40-60 lb range. For sinkers, I use 3, 4, 6 oz. in oval sliders where I thread the slider and then tie on to the hook. You may want a few 8 or 10 oz if you need a dropper loop but this is pretty late in the season for that. Good lures for this time of the year are MR 111 MirroLure or Magnum Rapalas.
If you do not want to buy bait, you might want a few Sabiki rigs for live bait.
