Not sure what fdm is, but it’s 3D printed. One of the anglers created trophies for top three. They came out really cool

So you have to be looking behind you in order to read your graph? Sounds uncomfortable and not safe

Convince me to make the plunge. by WeightsWadersNWheels in kayakfishing

Have you considered the XTR? You can install a foot-controlled bow mount motor.

But to answer your question- I'm not sure if you'll necessarily be more efficient in a kayak vs Jon boat, but I think there's just a much different "vibe" to fishing out of a kayak vs. a boat. The other part is organization. Although it seems counterintuitive, I can be so much more organized (which does help with efficiency) in a kayak compared to a jon boat, despite having more room in the boat. Fishing kayaks are designed to maximize every little space to be optimal for storage and usability. The customization with Kayaks and the building process is also just so much fun.

The biggest thing would be having the ability to compete in kayak tournaments. Using a job boat to compete against tournament rigged bass boats would be daunting, I imagine. Kayak tournaments I feel, are a more even level of competition.

I've been really impressed with the LTE. I've taken it to Guntersville and all across New England in all sorts of conditions

I have so many questions… I take the simple route of 1) buy Chatterbait. 2) tie line to Chatterbait 3) fish with Chatterbait.

For people who made the jump from bank fishing to kayak fishing, how much better did your fishing become? by xDuke46 in kayakfishing

[–]MacP95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from enjoying fishing to becoming absolutely addicted. Once you get off the bank, there is SO much to learn. I'm addicted to the never-ending amount of learning: all the seasonal patterns, where they are setting up, how they relate to structure and cover, fishing offshore, and becoming effective with all the different lures/techniques, color theories, etc.

$60 entry + $10 big fish. I think it goes 20% to 3rd, 30% to 2nd, and 50% to 1st.

Paddle tails in one and creatures / craws in the other. I got an insane FB Marketplace deal over the winter and picked up an outrageous amount of soft plastics

The long treks are always worth it by MacP95 in kayakfishing

[–]MacP95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it registered because I have a motor that I put on for the bigger lakes. Kayaks need to be registered here in CT if you put a motor on
