I am not looking for speed
I am not looking for stability

The only reason I would consider a hobie is for those long days
fighting current or wind, trying to stay on a spot, or trying to hit multiple spots over a long distance, chasing birds, exploring, etc.
there is no doubt a good angler in a hobie can cover a lot of ground.

The Trident is plenty fast when I need it most of the time, unless I am beat at the end of a day...
and it is also more than stable enough, almost too stable

Jim,
I use an all carbon werner Corryvrecken, may have to try the bent shaft
the hand numbness isn't constant, and the elbow issues come and go...

Steve, was the adventure a "wet" ride? another thing I love about my trident.... high and dry!

any other comments / suggestions guys and gals?

p.s
I could careless about the "pussy" factor
Hell if it made me a better kayak fisherman I would go with a set of pink avets and a pink hobie complete with a rainbow sticker on the bow
Kiyo...you wanna go paddling for 14 hours with me this weekend?
Don, 16 1/2 hours on the water non stop fishing in one day was my longest. That was at last years MDR Derby. Pliska was right next to me.

We all know the real reason you want to pedal. You keep losing your paddle! LMAO!
