YoYo all the time. I usually use a downrigger or a torpedo sinker on a rubber band to keep a bait deep. I would be curious to how you rig your planner (size planner? length of leader? Method of retrieval) for kayak fishing?

The tadpoles work well for kayaks, even paddle yaks. Jest need to get going 2-3mph. Put a 6-10ft section of 60lb floro on the back to either a bridled bait for most fish or stinger rig for king/wahoo. Even if you use a small section of wire the floro provides better abrasion resistant than mono.

Thanks for the link, I will give it a try. Most the planner fishermen use a 60ft leader in my area.

I always thought that Floro had better abrasion resistance over mono until I saw these tests proving the latter.
