Spottie rigging? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Alright, so I have been fishing Dana point for years, but just started fishing spotties down in SD and something horrible happen. I was fishing light tackle 8lb mono straight to a 3" swim bait. Having a great time chipping away at some spots. All the sudden hook up to something heavy but it's kinda running parallel to me. Then it mays a directions change and I realize I have very serious fish hooked. It rips about 15 yds of line then pop. I'm guessing it was respectable sized flattie. So. The question is: do you fish a fluro leader when pitching small plastic to spotties in the bAy? And if so, what pound test?
