    I use waggler floats myself. 8lb maxima straight through. Use a float that can cast the distance you need with ease. The amount of shot needed is usually wrote on the float.
    I use size 12-4 hooks depending on what bait I'm using.
    I find tinned luncheon or spam brilliant. Just pinch a bit off or cut into cubes with a knife.
    You can use maggots but it tends to attract a lot of the smaller fish
