Hour before dark get ready. Have caught mid day but rarely. Landed a 5 footer on a bluefish rig a few weeks ago with 20 pnd braid and one of my smaller Thunnis 6000f. Drag recieved a hard workout. Make sure your drag is in good shape and updated. Mine all have newer carbon fiber washers and are well maintained. Sharks make hard long runs on lighter tackle.

Rods, whatever quality rod that will chunk the weight you plan on chunking. I use 12-10 foot penns.
