Man I was just talking to someone about this a few days ago. We were talking about putting up a halibut rigging post with all the various rigs we use.

Basically I use about five different rigs depending on where I am fishing and what bait I'm using.

That said...

If I am on clean sand, like in SMB bay, fishing sardines I use a Kencor 10-30, with a Diawa SL20SH 20 pound spectra, ten foot topshot of 15lbs Fluorocarbon, and rig it with a plastic slide, 4 ounce sinker, small swivel, 28 inches of leader.a 1/0 hook with an assist style trap hook Mustad 6 2x rigged on doubled 20 pound green spectra.

That would be my go to rig for fishing clean sand in the bay with sardines but like I said I have several others lighter and heavier that I use just as much, and I do not fish squid or macks with that rig.
