Quest for solution to lost poles - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kirkdavis · 03-13-2016, 03:21 PM

I am one year new to kayak fishing in SD and less than that to BWE. I am reading a lot of sad tales of lost poles and tangled up in tethers. I have a few ideas of how to solve the problems, but I need some input (I haven't dumped my yak yet). If my plan works we can be tetherless and care free. Please give me data on the circumstances behind your lost pole.
How deep was the water?
Where was the rod (rod rack, hands, built-in rod holder, etc) when it took the plunge?
Any other circumstances you think might be important.
Depending on the data I get, I might add more questions later.
Thanks for your input.
