if you dont have a wire leader and catch a shark chances are it will take care of itself and bite its way off lol
as far as what weight and hooks, it really depends on what youre after, if you are after sharks, have LOTS of line at least 300 yards so it can run, and have line thats strong enough 40# or more, steel leader, search other threads for more info on going after sharks or check google and search texas shark fishing that sites gotta alot of useful info
for other species, it varies alot, just enough weight to hold bottom for bottom fishing, but some fish youll want to be off the bottom for, freelining live bait works for alot of fish, hook size also depends on what youre after, i agree with Redfish just call one of the local tackle shops and have a talk with them and theyll help you out alot more, hook size, best leaders, sinker or no sinker, this stuff will vary ALOT depending on what youre after man
