In Reply to: QUESTION ON POTHOLING IN KELP posted by potholing on November 11, 2002 at 14:30:51:
: I'm wondering if there is ANY way to keep the fish from wrapping around the kelp when potholing? I figure its unavoidable since your in the middle of a huge kelp bed with kelp just all around you. But wondering if there might be a method.
I use 12# but think 10# will work fine also..I also keep the drag set very tightly...buttoned for that matter under those conditions...if he gets into the kelps you're probably gonna lose him anyway...might as well take matters into your own hands...why let him even get a jumpstart by running drag...course the day you get a WSB on, this could backfire on you.
