definitely throw some bigger leader on via swivel. Unless you're using a really big swim bait or diamond/hex bar, often the lings will inhale the whole thing and the line ends up in their mouth full of teeth. I never use anything under 50lb leader(just regular mono) and if I'm fishing over 100ft with big jig heads and bars(8-10oz)I'll go bigger. I tried wire, but it seemed to not get bit as much, but never had problems getting bit on heavy mono. Big fish+big mouths+big teeth=big leader! Get em while season is open!

Well what pound test are you using, I using 15-20lbs but I always use leader 4' of 60lbs coz rocks can screw your line big time.. I use my bass tackle whenever I go, but, drag is also important. The LightTackleMeister

Sometimes fishing can be cruel, when skipped one step of your game plan thats when they strike, but when everything your doing is according to your plan, right tackle, right leader/line, they wont come, I was fishing for striper at San Luis Obispo (2002), I've run out of bait lot of dink nibbling, I found a dead lizard near where I was fishing, ohh what the heck, I'll use my smaller rod "trout set up" smaller hook, put a bell and decided to take a nap, "cling" "cling" "cling", nice one on, guess what happened my tackle couldn't handle it x( , Laguna 1000 on a 4lbs test no heavy leader, then couldn't find anymore dead lizzard :+ went back to the campsite with regret... since then I stick to my plan..
