You wanna "lip" those sculpin. That glove won't help. Right there in that fat part of your hand under your pinky is a really nice spine. A nice poke from a rattler would really slow your stoke down.

If you wanna keep them (I highly recommend it) have someone show you all the spines to clip.

Thanks Mikey , great reporting. As soon as my shoulder heals up i'm gonna take the plunge.Been lurking here for a year already and always learning .

Can someone please define the term "fly line one of the green backs"
I know the green back is the bait but when i try to define "flyline" I always end up reading about fly fishing. Is it just trolling with live bait on the line?

Also if I use braid to fish near the kelp with a mono topshot is the mono the same test as the braid and is there a rule of thumb as to how long the topshot usually is?

thanks!

LOL, I fished with Mickey today.

Flylining a greenback mac means to use no to little weight on the line so the mac can run free near the surface. I have not been using any weight at all this summer.

The standard set-up for Yellowtail and WSB is 65 lb dark green braid with a 40lb fluorocarbon leader.
