Favorite Kayak Accessories

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.

I have to second this. the scotty-bubbler is way more practical.

Gotta be my Gaffer sunglasses that records video and can bluetooth music from my phone. Gaffer HD Video shades

And now my GoPro Sessions that hasn't recorded a single fish as I have yet to catch one with it mounted to my Yak.

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.
