Wacky rig tackle

I was wondering what some of you other guys are using to fish a wacky rig.  Currently I'm using a Shimano Sahara spinning reel with 8lb Power Pro on a St. Croix Avid series 6'6" Medium heavy rod. Is there anything you guys would change with my tackle?

    That is similar to my setup only I use a fluro leader instead of the straight Power Pro to the bait.

    Among the components you mentioned, I would say that your line is by far the most important.

    In my opinion, the 8lb PowerPro that you're using is an excellent choice for W-rigging.

    Your line is only 5/1000th" in diameter (0.005"), which gives your worm maximal action, and to boot,

    the non-stretch property of PowerPro makes hook-setting a breeze.
