HOW to CATCH - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Down here in Pacific CR, I catch Macs/Sierra and Barracuda all the time, never a lost lure. Use 80lb fluoro connected with very small swivel to braid. Wire can work in a heated feeding moment but fluoro works best.

How long a piece of fluoro do you use?

At least stretched from arm to arm to start out with (It will grow shorter with lure changes), sometimes longer if I'm targeting bigger prey. I always tie directly to the lure. For trolling lures I use a perfect loop knot, for better action.
Note: Often I'm targeting Dorado, heavy fluoro gives the best of all worlds.
