What fish jerk said but lately I've just been using my old wire fish finder rig with 30lb set ups throwing 5 and bait. When I take out my heavier ulua style Rods to fish heavy structure I'll use a pulley rig with 7-8 and bait since the bigger chunks fly better buttoned down. I also have heavy mono rigs I throw on my 20lb surf rod since the mono rigs throw better with the lighter 3oz/bait (usually squid) and bats and Leo's don't bite through 80lb mono. You could use 135lb coated cable but I only use 210 coated wire or 80-100lb mono now because I had so many instances of the 135 coming back knotted up or coiled like a spring after catching a decent fish.
But yes, if I bring one shark rod I like to have 3 extra rigs in my pocket, 2 Rods, 6 rigs. I haven't ran 3 and don't plan to but I think 6 would cover 3 since if I broke one off I have 2 Rods to soak.
Also, I can cast a 7ft pulley rig just fine on my 13ft Rods but need to shorten them a bit for my 11'6" and 12' so I would pack accordingly. I've also found that circle hooks work well on all my Rods which range from all glass, composite and all graphite but if I use J's I get better lip hooks with graphite Rods and deep hooks with solid glass.
