While this sounds great for a drift hang under the bag, I'm not sure if this
would be enough lift for a "jersey reel" upline (tied to the wreck on the
bottom).  100 lb lift bags are standard in the Northeast US for jersey reels.
I once shot an upline from 140 fsw with a 50 lb bag and had it dragged under
by the current and weight of the line.
