The boat is allowed to drift to present a more natural bait. Swordfishing requires strong fishing rods and reels, as swordfish can become quite large, and it is not uncommon to use 2.5 kg (5 lb) or more of weight to get the baits deep enough during the day, up to 460 m (1,500 ft) is common.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Night fishing baits are usually fished much shallower, often less than 90 m (300 ft; 50 fathoms). Standard baits are whole mackerel, herring, mullet, bonito, or squid; one can also use live bait. Imitation squids and other imitation fish lures can also be used, and specialized lures made specifically for swordfishing often have battery-powered or glow lights.

Standard <a href="/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism" title="Orthodox Judaism">Orthodox</a> opinion is that swordfish is not kosher, while <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Judaism" title="Conservative Judaism">Conservative Judaism</a> does consider swordfish kosher.

A 1933 list of kosher fish published by the <a href="/wiki/Agudas_HaRabbonim" class="mw-redirect" title="Agudas HaRabbonim">Agudas HaRabbonim</a> includes swordfish. The following year, Rabbi Yosef Kanowitz published the same list of kosher fish with swordfish still included. Swordfish was widely considered kosher by halakhic authorities until the 1950s. Orthodox opinion began to shift in 1951, when Rabbi <a href="/wiki/Moshe_Tendler" class="mw-redirect" title="Moshe Tendler">Moshe Tendler</a> examined swordfish and decided it was not kosher due to the lack of scales.
