reel set up - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

i wouldn't be afraid to hook up on any of those reels (well maybe not the jigmaster)....however I like using a 4-6ft fluoro leader to a swivel as opposed to a conventional top shot. My reason is that, the shorter the leader, the better chance you have of actually getting spectra against the kelp and cutting it. I also would not use mono as a leader material unless i was fishing open water.
