Switching between multiple setups
I'm heading to Catalina with my wife and wanted to fish while I was out there. I want to travel light, probably just one rod and a single container of plastics and lures and figured I'll rent a kayak out there and just stick to the kelp. My question is how do you guys normally rig when you switch out multiple lures or swimbaits? Normally I have my rods rigged differently and just switch between them, very rarely am I tying anything while on the water as it takes time away from fishing. I was curious if you guys are tying on every time, using a swivel, a clip, or some other method. I know most of you guys, like AmishEd, are using many different things during a single trip and am hoping you have some insight besides "use multiple setups." Thank you in advance for any input!

Swivel snaps or just retie. No reason to take multiple setups just so you don't have to retie knots. I can tie a palomar in less than 3 seconds on the water, no big deal.

When I use a spinning setup from a boat or from shore, I often carry multiple spools with different line weights, so I can switch between different techniques and presentations.
On a kayak, the "spinning" parts get in the way, so I switch to a conventional setup. I don't have any first-hand experience with this idea on a kayak. |

If I was going to fish bass with one setup with one setup I'd pack like this...
30lb braid with 12lb and/or 17lb leader. I'd probably stick to 12lb, but I like light line. A variety of Warbait Slayer heads in different weights and maybe colors too. 4" Edge Flurrys (Minnow Magic and Sea Food) and 5" or 5.5" Big Hammers (Christmas Tree and Clear Red Flake), 5" Kalin grubs (Smoke Sparkle and Clear black flake), and Zoom Super Flukes (Baby Bass, Bubble Gum and Smokin' Shad?). All these can be fished on the Slayer head and offer a variety of weedless presentation options. Hot Sauce for flavor. Edit: Totally agree with Alan. Palomar, no swivels.
