I mostly jug on the Red river near my camp and its pretty deep so my lines are made of I think 750lb for the main line and doubled up 220 lb with a 2/0 swivel for the drops with a 7/0 hook & have about 8lbs of wt at the bottom. I come up about 5 feet with my first drop and 3ft beteen the next 2 (total of 3 hooks) with all that wt
sinking in the mud a big cat is gonna get tired fast dragging it around. The jug just marks the end of the line for me but I may be in 60ft fo water. Limb lines are better cuz they got some river rats that like to run jig lines that ain't theirs!
