Is pedal drive necessary - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Lots of folks fish offshore saltwater in paddle style kayaks. Are pedals convenient? 100%, right up until they fail.

So, more maintenance investment off the water to reduce the risk of on the water failure, in exchange for hands free fishing.

With a peddle system you can follow a hooked fish, cast at fish while moving towards them or hold the rod while you slow troll a live air and feel for bites. Ultimately big fish are caught every day on paddle kayaks though!
