Hi Jamie you may want to get some backing then top shot it with 125yds braid. Any local tackle with sort it for you.  I think 8lb is a good weight to start with.  You will also need some fluro leader - 15 - 20lb
 
Hopefully that is enough to get you started.  you may want to google sugeons knot, leftys loop and bimini twist to create a double, the sugeons to attacht the leader too and lefty to the jighead.
