I remembered saying this today.I fish a 10 out of the kayak 12 out of a stinkpot. I don't think you are going to put much more pressure on a fish with a 12 over a 10 out of a kayak, just a theory...
After doing this.
I was nice enough to let the fish chew through the leader afterwards.
I will be fishing a 12 for a while, at least until Scott sends my 10 back...
