100lb steel cable if you listen to some people, but I'd say 15lb should do you just fine.

15. Signature images may not be larger than 600 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall. This includes logos, photos and other graphics. Also, no more than one row of images are allowed. If you want four or five logos in your signature, reduce their size to fit in one row.

Regardless of line size, I always like to put a small swivel up the line about 3-4 ft to keep the fluke from kinking the line. Use braid for a slow fall or floro for a faster fall.

14-17 pound range will do it. No need to get heavier than that... even 17 will have a slight effect on the action.

I would advise using line of 0.014 inches to 0.017 inches in diameter at Fork.
Go by diameter rather than pound test.
