Even being completely vertical, I have a very hard time snapping 12 pound with a good knot.


I'd be worried about flipping with stronger line and a fast running fish with buttoned down drag.


I do think the the best outcome is getting vertical and keeping drags mostly loose so they come up easy and don't fight too much, but that doesn't always happen.

If necessary, you can drag them around with the kayak, but not everyone has a pedal kayak. If is paddling only, then a drift chute becomes the next best choice. That said, I've never come close to snapping 25 pound test on a kayak, and it's a real chore to cut through 40 when they bury you.
