what # test Mono

[hunter1]

Hi, I'm new to surf fishing. I plan on fishing Assateague VA for red drum. I'm going to use a 10' heavy action pole , a penn 990 mag conventionle reel with 20# test, 40# shock leader and a fish finder rig. Do you think this is a good set up for red drum in the surf. Is 20# test strong enough
for the rig. I'll be using mullet or cut bunker.

20# is good
