Jake is correct..if you are going to use braid use 150LB minimum.
If not, then use 50 lb big game mono. Use the 50 lb dacron for your leader.
Slip a slider (to attach your wieght) on your rod line, then a bead, then a swivel rated for 100lb. Then tie on about 24 to 36 inches of dacron leader, and then your your hook. (I tie a bait loop so I make up the leader first then tie to the swivel)
Use any where from 20 to 40 lbs mono to attach your wieght to the slider. I like to keep it short around 6 inches because it makes feel like ti is easier to reel in and decrease snagging. Some go as long as 18 inches.
