Bring line and leader, the various are leads available on the day, oh yea bringing cake is also advisable :D
If you plan on making this a regular thing you will need .28 line for the 125 gram, .31 for the 150 gram, and .35 for the 175 gram, and you need to use .75 shockleader. High viz line and leader is a must so we can find any crack offs. As far as i know if your only coming as a day caster as a once off you dont need to be too worried about having the diameters bang on.

Spot on Sod, Gearoid just bring yourself and rod and reel and Hi Viz line, work away on whatever lead you usually fish with and you'll be all set.
