RE: Amberjack Setup?
It sounds like you are fishing deep water so this advice may not apply. On the public wrecks in 80-100 feet of water try freelining a ruby redlip or a white snapper. It is a lot of fun to watch them come up and nail these baits. You usually can catch keepers that way. The guys that advised using conventional reels like the tld's are right on the money. The drags on those reels will stop an AJ a lot quicker than spinning gear. For some reason you don't cramp up as bad fighting fish on conventional reels.
