Hi i am new to saltwater fishing ( pier ) and would like it if anyone could tell me some good set-ups for my line and hooks. I will be using live and cut bait off of piers and public access aeras.

The most popular around here is what we call a two (or three if you want) drop loop bottom rig. You can buy them or make one yourself. It consists of a standing line with two loops that stand perpendicular to the line for the hooks and then is finished with another loop at the end a bank sinker. There are many variations of this, with beads, slides, swivels, etc.

A popular size hook for pan size fish is a #4 with a 3 ounce bank sinker on the end.
