I've caught a few kings on the wide glide and can offer a few ideas. First as Larry said the single strand wire works great. Make the loop of the haywire twist a little bigger than usual, wire no more than 30-40lb., and dont use a swivel. Connect no more than 12" wire to a few feet of 40lb mono with an improved albright and the 40lb mono to the bimini with a uni knot. Game on.
Also, kings typically have great aim and will sky on a bait and take it with them into the air. It's cool, no need to set the hook. If however the fish misses it, start cranking like hell to get the wide glide up and skipping trying to get away. The first fish will defintley take another swipe at it if he can beat the second unseen fish to it first.
A Blast!
