How many of you using straight spectra? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I fish spectra to a small welded ring, then tie on my 5' of fluoro. Works like a charm. Google up "Knot Wars" and check out the Berkeley Braid knot. It works perfectly tied to a ring or swivel.

i use straight spectra for rockfish or kep fishing the wall. there is so much kelp and grass in the water that i'm pretty sure a fish doesnt really care if it can see the spectra on my lure... but if the fish are finicky, i will tie on 12# fluoro.

spectra is great in heavy kelp because it can cut the kelp if a fish tries to wrap you around in it. spectra sucks when you hook a massive rock.
