Mooching is the use of a simple banana shaped weight wit about a 24" leader attached to it with a 4/0 hook. Attached to the hook is usually a Sardine with its head cut off on an angle so that it spins slowly in the current. The boat will drift over schools usually between 50-90 feet deep. Let out you line to the depth the captian recomends and have fun. 30lbs test is ample. I never tried it a Flourocarbon leader is better than mono.
