Favorite Kayak Accessories - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Denis_Ruso · 07-05-2016, 03:43 PM

Probably like many of you, I was just sitting here at work thinking about kayak fishing.

Specifically about what I still want to upgrade next. Do I actually need to upgrade anything? Especially since I feel like I already have everything I really need... but what things do still WANT! MORE GEAR!

So just to give me and maybe some of you ideas. I pose this question.

What is your favorite kayak fishing accessory/piece of gear you purchased to date?

I'll start. Mine will probably have to be a rod and reel combo I bought. I get excited just to fish it and cast it. Its a Lexa 300HD Power handle on a 7'6" Shimano Teramar Heavy Fast Action 15-30Lb with 50 lb Braid and 30 lb flouro leader.

X2, I love my soft sided cooler that can carry a six pack of beer, 1 bottle of water (sometime you just need one), Naaahh, just carry 7 beers with the re-freezable pack and a sandwich. That should just about last a 7 to 12 hour trip out at LJ.

I prefer the scotty-bubbler but everyone is different.

Onno paddles, @ 20oz in weight. Easy on my shoulder, wrecked from years of serving tennis balls too hard.

I've noticed a lot of you mention a nice light weight paddle. Would you say you still get the same work out from a light weigh paddle as opposed to a cheaper heavier one?

I have not upgraded my paddle quite yet because I enjoy the workout of the heavier one. But now that some of you say it's your favorite accessory, maybe the lighter paddle will give me a farther range and keep me out there longer. Thoughts?
