40 lb seems a bit of an overkill if you are specifically trying for macs or dines. A lot depends on what you use for the bottom weight. I have traditionally used an ounce and a half krocidile spoon, and I have caught and lost some pretty big fish that decided to hit the Kroc. Just last week I lost a fish that I couldn't,t get off the bottom. Ling I suspect. My son actually landed a thresher on his bait rig tipped with a Kroc. I generally use a sabiki with 12 or 15 lb main line, and if I don.t want to have my heart broken by breaking off a larger fish, I just tip it with a torpedo sinker.
Good luck
