How much line are you guys using for the tow line?

I know some have enough to tow behind the kayak. But wouldn't that cause problems by getting tangled in the rudder?

Why not just have it attached just to the side where you can reach it easily? I'm not too concerned with a shark chewing on it so having it on the side seems like the most convenient way to go

I've never used one before so I don't know the logistics of how to use one yet.

Can some of you using them chime in with how you are towing them and why you chose to do it that way

Thanks in advance

I tow it behind when on the move because having it bang into the kayak is annoying and it gets in the way of the paddle.

i do the same thing... just enough tow line to pass the rudder and into the vacuum created by the kayak... not much drag. in the hobie, i just drag it alongside the kayak. when fishing a location, i attach it close.
