i just use good floro. leader material and play the fish from the opposite direction the fish is fighting from. haven't got broke of at the hole since i was a teenager. take your time and don't rush them. at our temps up here its too damned cold to spend the time messing with the bottom of the holes.
Agreed it takes enough time drilling and maintaining multiple holes and moving around.
If I fish with others and they do not use sea gar I can double their catch.
