My whole arsenal is compiled of seeker stealths. They have never let me down. They are lightweight, they look nice, and very very affordable

Ive seen a bunch of those at the BIG5 in el cajon. they are running 129.99. Im sure if you get a coupon you can get them for a better price. Ive been tempted to pick one up, but I have no need for it.

Hi guys I don't mean to threadjack but I didn't want to start a whole new thread...about how much line at a minimum should you have on your reel when fishing the kelp for yellows and such?

If you are in 124 feet of water, at least 124 feet of line.

Whatever your reel holds.

The advantage of being in a yak is that you will likely do much of your fighting up and down. Rarely will you fish in more than 200 feet.

Almost every single reel has excess capacity for so cal fishing.
