To be fair to Nathan and co, Jakepitsville, I think they use fairly light braid on 2500 size reels when "skuting", but sensibly bump up the leader when expecting 20lb+ snapper in reefy shallows.

They use much more powerful gear for kingies, as is sensible.

In Nathan's fly fishing efforts for snapper up at Parengarenga, he uses flies, not soft bait jighead "skutes".
And given the footage of him sight-fishing snapper in very shallow clear water, he is obviously using appropriate leader to still get takes.

Bigger, possibly not so angrier fish ...
Some good drone coverage of swoffing to large red fish in the salt marshes of southern USA - wish there was more of the big fish hooked up at the 3 minute point ...
