Rainy day question? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I always use an iron or megabait for a sinker on my sabiki. I've landed YT, WSB (in baja), halibut, and BSB on that while making bait, and lost several. In the kelp I get tons of calicos and the occassional rockfish, ling, whitefish, sculpin, you name it. The fish don't know it's your bait rig. That's why I use a pretty decent setup for my bait rod. This fall there was a big BSB hanging out at the pier and I have had a baby thresher chase my sabiki right back to the boat over there. Not so much in the dark but in grey and full light the sabiki is just another line with a lure on it.
