4 oz pyramid dropper.

My set up is mainline to three way swivel . Tie a length of dropper leader with a snap swivel to the bottom of the three way and then snap in you weight. Off the free barrel on the three way, attach your bait hook. I buy pre-tied bait hooks and just loop them into the barrel. Others probably have different methods for this, but it works for me. As others have said, find some variation in the bottom and cast. I'm not a fan of being hammered by surf, so I usually just walk out a safe distance, chuck, then walk back.

Good luck!
