Re: SC knot vs FG knot. What do you use?
More often than not I use the FG knot it's easy enough to tie - I've replaced leaders while fishing on the kayak off shore in swell and wind with out any problem - thats probably the most testing conditions I've found the tie any knots -

Re: Which Hobie??
Hi Lenny, to make your decision even harder, there is no perfect kayak out there. If you are planning on car topping the kayak, Also worth keeping in mind is if you plan on car topping and saltwater fishing, the saltwater will dribble off the kayak and onto the roof of your car, promoting rust wher...

tide was still on the rise at the time - there may have been others around but there were a lot of small gummies to beat them to a bait
