Twisted Braid - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sometimes I use a uni to uni knot and on other setups I use a swivel. I use about a 6 foot leader so I don't have a problem trying to reel it through the guides. To carry with hook on or with an iron still on, I wrap the leader around the reel and put the iron or hook on the first guide. I don't see a problem slow trolling live bait. If you troll too fast or with some lures than it's best to use a swivel.
