I am usually hooking bull kelp down deep or bottom while out rockfishing.
I fish spectra so there is no stretch. For really bad snags ....

Let out about 100' of extra line using the clicker while moving the kayak
slowly headed the direction most likely to "work", downcurrent if its a
draw. Wrap your spectra around the outside of the reel 4 or 5 times and
thumb it ...

Point the rod tip straight toward the stern, hold onto the reel tight, and
PEDAL LIKE HELL. BAM!, something will give. Since you are pulling forward
instead of UP, you will not flip when it comes loose.

I've had to cut it only once, and that was fishing 50 lb spectra with 40#
leader.

Now I fish 30# spectra on the kayak mainly.
