I think you are dialed. Should be great. The sealine will be your live bait rig. 40# braid is a bit light but shouldn't be a problem. Maybe drop down to 30 or 40# mono for the topshot.

I personally would recommend a carolina rig rather than a flyline for your first trip. Covers more of the water column. I like to run my c-rig with 3-4oz sliding egg, with the braid tied strait to the swivel. Then about a 3-4' leader of mono or flouro.

Another tip... if you want to catch a WSB, fish the biggest greenbacks you can catch. YT will also eat a huge bait. Cheers!
