    KP and Kayaks

    How many of you fish with a KP off the kayak? What size KP do you use and what setup i.e. line diameter, sinkers etc. I use a 6inch Delux spooled with 0.60mmXX and a Elbe snoek glass rod. Really nice setup and fun to catch bottoms, but I don't see to many guys this side that fish with them.
