Trap-ease worth getting? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

roadx · 09-15-2012, 08:56 AM

ive read through the posts and didnt find too much info.
i was curious if anyone use's the scotty trap-ease on their yak? particularly on a PA.
the outback wasnt too hard pulling traps but with the extra width of the PA im curious if this would help? i already have the scotty mounts, mounted for rod holders and other gear.

so..... is it worth a try?

I like the Trap-eze on the deep pulls 60' +, but on the shallow pulls I like to be really fast and stealthy so I usually just setup, then pull as fast as I can.
You might want to put a separate flush mount Scotty to accept the TrapEze at a spot that's easier to get to than your pole holders. I like to set the yak on the ground and try the puller before I cut and mount. But you're location may not be as important, without a paddle stroke to think about.
Good luck this season.
