Don't have experience with your rod in particular but when targeting calico you can tie yourself off on kelp fish a dropper loop with a mackie and cast your plastic at the same time. The other way I typically do it is I sit at the top of the kelp line so the current pulls you right through the kelp and then just find casting lanes, try a few casts deep a few mid column and a few shallow. If they aren't biting switch spots and if they still aren't biting go to a smaller plastic I use 4" sardine patterns.
