Chuck-n-duck in the salt

So lately my wife and I have been having a lot of fun kayak camping in the bay's and on the ocean. We have been fairly successful at getting dinner either by catching some rockfish on a handline or freediving for crabs and clams.
All in all, my bug wand has not seen enough love and I would rather spend my disposable income on gas to get back to the coast than on a sinking line, so I was wondering if anybody has any experience in using a Chuck-n-duck style rig for saltwater bottomfish..

If you are talking about using a chunk of lead core line go for it. 15 to 30 ft. long of the 27-30lb. material, if you can find the real old stuff that is plastic coated even better for it won't kink as bad or get some of the tungsten series lines (T-14,T18,T-20) which you can buy ,buy the foot at fly shops. When using this set up slow your cast down as this will open your loop up and not get tangled as much or impale in back of the head.

I was referring to this:  http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/chuck/
Basically, you spool a running line on your reel and  toss weighted terminal tackle like you would with conventional tackle..

While one could argue that this is NOT fly fishing, it does use a fly-rod, get your fly's down, and it would fit in my "less is more" philosophy..

OK, understand now. They do something like that off of the upper BC coast with mooching poles. 12-14 ft. poles, a running line and a small buzz bomb or a small needle fish lure running off of downriggers. No flashers or dodgers at all. When they get in the upper rivers some people use what called center-pin fishing -fly pole, fly reel and a floating running line with a float and a small jig or a pink worm. Deadly in low water.

Is a fly rod with a bunch of t-17 the right tool for rock fish- no, but its a hell of a lot of fun when you hook one...
Enjoy it!

If your only goal is to catch a fish for dinner on a rod you already have, then just tie a 3/4 or 1 oz jig on your line and drop it straight down in 15-50 FOW. Casting and retrieving jigs on the bottom is just begging to loose gear.
