First kayak, and first fish on it!

i like the idea of being able to troll with the berkley ones

because the rod lifts out the top instead of needing to be pulled out of a tube the rod holders can be set up futher in front of you
that way having 1 or 2 rods being trolled dont get in the way of you paddle but are still easy to get out of a holder if/when you get a strike

That is very true. Such a good idea of pulling the rod straight up - and - out as opposed to pulling it out of a holder. Might have to buy a couple more, thanks for the tip.
What anchor set up would you recommend? Ideally would love to set one up so that I can always face the way I wish to face regardless of current/wind etc
Thanks Cheater

well I made a simple anchor trolley from a couple of small blocks that were left over from another progect



rear block screwed to the yak

and the front block veiw



a light rope about 4 mm from memory runs along the side of the yak and is tied to a stainless clip so the clip can be moved to ether end .

The anchor rope is tied off and sliped into the clip then the yak can be anchored off ether end or the side
