calico try this setup with your 20 lb,run about a five foot leader of fluorocarbon line as a leader with your 20 and youll find that you lose very few to kelp,most of the time the kelp doesnt get you it the side of the jaws on the white seabass are like scissors and when they kelp you it pulls the line back into the sharp part of their jaws and they shear you off.the fluoro is really tough stuff besides being nearly invisible in the water.my friend allyn watson who runs the dreamer taught me this and it works like a charm when the bite is touchy.having said that he also taught me to fish the heaviest line possible if thell eat it!
