Real easy. You want to end up with about a 30" leader that has 2 4" drops. For hooks 2/0 or 3/0 circle hooks. Barrel swivel on one end to tie your line to and a snap on the other end for your weight. Some people add a red bead before putting the loop through the hook to simulate sand flea eggs. Oh, and your main can be 20 or 30 lb mono or flourcarbon(sp).

A three way swivel with one side weight half as long as second side hook. 3/0 circle, with 40-80 lb test is a good bet. Weight size depends on Rod and line weight, 12 lb test, go with 2-3 once weight. 20 lb test, 4-6 ounce weight

Standard two hook drop rig with 2/0 circle hooks is all I use. |
