I don't use a paddle leash and stick the blade under a front hatch bungee when I am fishing. I may regret no leash someday. I don't always use the lip grip but appreciate it with bigger reds and trout since I don't want to stick my fingers in with those choppers. The grip talkes up little room and i...

This link takes you to an anchor trolley system I like because you do not have to drill holes in your boat. http://www.jaxkayakfishing.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2042&highlight=anchor+trolley My theory on rigging is the simpler the better. A scotty mount in front and a milk crate with 2 or 3 piec...

Rod question

I use a number of rods but my favorites are several my dad made 20 years ago. I guess it is a sentimental thing but I know he spent many hours over them and wrapped every thread with patience. New rods - I really like the Shimanos for the price. If I could justify the expense, I would be buying Crow...
