I see there are a lot of guys here who frequently fish the Helen-H. I'm heading up to Mass to fish on the Helen-H on Good Friday and need some advice on what to bring and what type of rigs to tie before I go (what lb test leader material....). If someone could - please list 5 or so jigs that I should have, 5 - 10 must have teasers. I read on this board that blue is a good color - what type of blue teaser? Is braided line the way to go on these trips? Do you need a shock leader before your rig when fishing from a partyboat for cod ? How high up off the bottom for the teaser and can it be put right on the dropper loop or should you attach it via a length of leader materail? What about the double teaser rig w/sinker ? What about tipping the teasers with some sort of bait ?
What about lightsticks and glo-squids and if so What size sticks and glo-squids?
What length teasers?

7' or 8' rods?
I also found a great deal on a SEEKER BA 50 rod. Could I bring this as a second rod for this trip?

Another really important question I have is what type of hooks for my teaser and jigs?

Any help will be greatly appreciated ?

Thanks for the help. But maybe a few more answers while I have all this cod knowledge available.

What about the rig itself? What pound mono and can you put the teaser right on a dropper and if so what size dropper?

What size plastics and do you have a favorite?

What about braid and connecting the braid to the leader? Can you use a 7' rod on the Helen H?

Thanks Again,
