Dropper loop question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Braid to swivel is fine for no frills freezer filler rockfishing.

Sometimes if fishing heavy structure where breakoffs are expected I'll have multiple pretied rigs at the ready. I'll have a heavy snap at the end of my braid and when a rig gets beat or broken I'll swap it out.

30lb or 40lb is fine, 50lb is a chore to break off on a kayak... hell even on a boat. Wind em in at a slower pace to avoid line twist or spinning them off.
