Then we use an 80 lb. braided line on the reels. That seems excessive but when the bluefish are hitting these Hoochies, they’re doing it with a lot of force. Be sure that your drag is set accordingly. Don’t have it too tight. You can tighten it down as needed once you’re hooked up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Pete","offers":[{"title":"12in - 5oz \/ Pink","offer_id":46857453502662,"sku":"STP-WH-5-PINK","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12in - 5oz \/ Red","offer_id":46857453535430,"sku":"STP-WH-5-RED","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12in - 5oz \/ Yellow\/Orange","offer_id":46857453568198,"sku":"STP-WH-5-YEL\/ORA","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12in - 5oz \/ Gold","offer_id":46857453600966,"sku":"STP-WH-5-GOLD","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2583\/9210\/files\/st-pete-weighted-striped-bass-hoochie-rig-pink.webp?v=1785971533","url":"https:\/\/fishandtackle.com\/products\/st-pete-weighted-hoochie","provider":"FISH \u0026 Tackle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
