also another question....have you tried connecting the spectra strait to the iron since the fish really wont contact the line....i've had some luck doing this in the kelp with big leadheads and whole squid for c.bass but sometimes they gobble the whole thing too fast so i use a 6-12" flouro leader....my theory is the shorter the flouro the more spectra u have against the kelp to get that donkey out...on the iron i would think it could give a little more distance cause the topshot knot wouldent have to go thru the guides during the cast?

The topshot is not that big of an issue in fact I like a topshot that allows a few turns on the reel but I use a Tony Pena knot which casts beautifully through the guides:

You can read about how to do one here:

Good luck!!
