elbow tackle question

Planning on an elbow trip this winter and was wondering in there was a "standard" lead weight size? 10oz? I understand the current is an issue there but think we would go when it is not as strong. Also when you are using a chicken rig what type of circle hook are used? offset eye or straight? Thanks in advance.

If you're going to make that run be prepared. I'd have 6, 8, 10 and 12's and maybe a few 16's. I'm not a chicken rig guy but I'd use a offset circle. Both are legal in federal waters.
Typically, I keep set ups with 40, 50, 60 and 80 pound main line. On my boat I carry 20lb to 120lb leader material.

60-80 lb on your conventional bottom set-ups
A few smaller rigs for snapps.
As long as you stay away from the full and new moons you should be fine using 6-8 oz leads. Long leaders and live baits for your grouper.
May want to stop and grab a few runners on the way out because there are still some Tuna, and Hooters swimming around out there.
Good luck and be safe.
