I throw mine on a 7'6" heavy and use 1/4 oz swimbait heads. I like 25 lb. P-Line CXX. People like to use braid so if they get hung they can bend the hooks, but I've bent hooks with P-Line CXX plenty of times. Plus, if you do get snagged, get over the top of the a-rig and just lightly pull up and let it fall repeatedly it usually will come loose. It uses the momentum and weight of the a-rig to push the hook out of the snag.

A lot of variables depending on the action of your specific "heavy" action rod, and the make-up of the A-Rig you are throwing. That is probably a suitable basic unit, with the 50 lb. braid being versatile enough for you to use the rod for other applications, especially if you don't mind tying leaders.

Depends on how heavy your A-rig is, weigh it rigged and ready to cast, most weigh about 2 oz. A-rigs have a lot of wind resistance and a longer rod rated for lures to 4 oz are a better choice. You can fish anything you want, try it first.
