Bob,

I've fished 'em pretty deep and in current.  I don't like any
jig heads larger than 1.5 oz. so what I usually do is use a
1.5 oz. Super Shad with a 4/0 or 5/0 hook on a 5 or 6 inch
bait.  Then I put an egg sinker (I've used up to 6 oz.) on the
line above the jig head (and usually a plastic bead to keep
the sinker from rubbing on the knot).

Senorita has been a pretty hot rockfish/ling color for me.

Not sure about line.  I always used mono but I like the
spectra with the mono leader idea.
