Favorite Kayak Accessories

[Denis_Ruso]

Probably like many of you, I was just sitting here at work thinking about kayak fishing.

Specifically about what I still want to upgrade next. Do I actually need to upgrade anything? Especially since I feel like I already have everything I really need... but what things do still WANT! MORE GEAR!

So just to give me and maybe some of you ideas. I pose this question.

What is your favorite kayak fishing accessory/piece of gear you purchased to date?

I'll start. Mine will probably have to be a rod and reel combo I bought. I get excited just to fish it and cast it. Its a Lexa 300HD Power handle on a 7'6" Shimano Teramar Heavy Fast Action 15-30Lb with 50 lb Braid and 30 lb flouro leader.

Ice chest full of beer.

X2, I love my soft sided cooler that can carry a six pack of beer, 1 bottle of water (sometime you just need one), Naaahh, just carry 7 beers with the re-freezable pack and a sandwich. That should just about last a 7 to 12 hour trip out at LJ.

To me the best investment is a quality seat. You're gonna be in it for hours and a sore ass n numb legs make yakking a misery.

2nd, if you have a paddle yak, is a good light carbon paddle. In the shop or on the sand the difference in weight between a great paddle and a decent paddle doesn't feel like much. But after hours of paddling you'll really notice. Mike

Those glasses are awesome and only $99 on sale now. Dirty Curti nice video, hope to see YOU in paradise or atleast on the DARK SIDE. An OUTBACK from OEX Sunset Beach SHOULD be your favorite kayak ACCESSORY.

Thanks Mako Bob, I will consider that an invitation and I hope some day to take you up on it.

I totally agree with TagerMike on the seat thing. I upgraded my seat which helped alot and also bought one of those lower lumbar support pillows that has increased my ability to stay on the water longer with NO back pain. So I am changing my answer to a good seat but add that lower lumbar support for a great accessory.

makobob... where did you find the $99 sale? I clicked the link and they have the 1080p versions for $159. I was about to buy the $99 version if they had it! great accessory. I wonder if there are any other comparable ones for a similar price?

They were $99.00 when I posted the link. They do go on & off sale so keep an eye out for them. I paid $139.00

[Rocketfish]

What about THIS accessory haha. It COULD be valuable.

PLEASE. No pictures. I want to be able to eat tonight and I don't need a picture of his ASS.

[GregAndrew]

Downrigger camera for sure, but only on the odd days when it gets something worth the hours of review.

Onno paddles, @ 20oz in weight. Easy on my shoulder, wrecked from years of serving tennis balls too hard.

I've noticed a lot of you mention a nice light weight paddle. Would you say you still get the same work out from a light weigh paddle as opposed to a cheaper heavier one?

I have not upgraded my paddle quite yet because I enjoy the workout of the heavier one. But now that some of you say it's your favorite accessory, maybe the lighter paddle will give me a farther range and keep me out there longer. Thoughts?

YES, a nice high quality, light weight paddle makes a ton of difference. If you choose to paddle instead of peddling, then spend the cash on a nice paddle. I personally have a Aquabound Surge that is awesome. But all the other major brands have paddles that are just as good. Take the plunge.

[Methman]

I have some nice Bending Branches for sale in the buy/sale section. They are light and fast. Still a good workout despite being light. Remember it's always better to lift light with reps as opposed to heavy.

[makobob]

High quality LIGHT carbon fiber paddles are great, even for us peddle guys, never know where or when a drive wil fail. I make it a point to paddle some on every trip. The older we get the less we seem to work out, the paddle/peddle helps. Tight Lines.

But $499 plus tax?

[MrPatrick]

Nope, got one for $40 and the other one was free. It came with a kayak I bought and then resold.

[Baja_Traveler]

Quality ain't cheap.
"You get what you pay for" definitely applies here.

X2 on the seat. I had an old seat with very little padding on it that came with my used Stealth 12 kayak. When I bought my new X Factor, I upgraded the seat and WOW, what a huge difference that made to my ability to sit for hours on end.

My favorite accessory is a house on the beach.
