I always use spectra line for shallow water rock fishing out here we can only fish down to 360’ so all recreational rock fishing is shallow water. The line has virtually no stretch which creates incredible sensitivity but doesn’t provide any of the forgiveness associated with line stretch. It takes a little getting used to losing drag on a hook set! I also use a long 9’ mushy (parabolic) fiberglass rod to absorb the head shakes and other possibilities for slack line. I think it quadruples my success rate its just amazing to feel a tap at 250’! For me the jury’s still out about my bait casters I’m trying it on a couple starting today actually the waters cold out here so the Calicos weren’t on the chew. The one I caught was kind of cool I seemed to lose a lot of jigs in the kelp though more than usual I think? I’ll give it a good work out this summer before I make a final decision I’m enough of a tackle Ho to have a couple mono and a couple spectra on the boat at once and I’ve heard to much good stuff not to give it a try.
