BOM off a yak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have thought about it too. I can't imaging trolling around 16 oz of lead would create much more drag than a couple of deep diving magnum rapallas. Recommended trolling speed is 3-4 knots. That is pretty easy in a kayak also. The biggest down side I can see is tail hooking a big thresher, and when you get the thing boatside, he will be trying to smack you with a pound of lead with swinging hooks attached to it

. Logistically I think it is very do-able, but I'm not sure I want to be the one to try it out

You will get plenty of Ts with just the rapala. With the BOM just pin on a mackeral and you'll probably get the big mama. Good luck.....
