Nice man! I see you kept your kayak simple, not too much equipment on it, just a fish finder, anchor trolley maybe? And what else? I am gonna get soon my first Yak, a Viking exactly like yours…but I wanted to keep it simple , at least in the beginning
@spffishty8510 Жыл бұрын
Thanks! That's all I've got on it. I've even since removed the anchor trolley as I only use lures from it and find a sea anchor doesn't add enough value for my style of fishing. I'd recommend a fish finder especially if you're planning on fishing other than "the wash" or with softbait.
