Rudders are pretty pointless if your fishing in SoCal. The downsides are they add weight and they are set for your leg length (when you sell it later or you have a friend with shorter or longer legs the cables have to be adjusted). It's also one more thing to get whacked with if you roll. I've had rudders on several kayaks and have never been happy with it.

The ones I just installed are adjustable so anybody can use it and I don't like over paddling on one side of the Kayak with a 15 foot Kayak a little breeze makes me have to paddle on one side more...on occasion i was constantly paddling on the right side just to keep going straight the whole way back into the harbor
