How Many Rods Do You Take On Your Kayak..

[yaknar]

When I started out kayaking I would always bring two rods with me, just in case something happened to one. I can't use the rod holders that came installed on the kayak because I go under low hanging trees and they eat rods. But over the winter, with nothing to do, I decided to redo my rod holder so I could bring one more. I now have one topwater, one swimbait and one crank. And yes I have plenty of room for my feet.

Two flyrods, one built and one in a rod tube stored in a hatch on my Diablo. 8weight and 6 weight. One strung up depending on size of flys, size of quarry and wind conditions.

I like. When i got my tarpon I immediately put a rod holder on it, then realized it be more like trolling for a tree. I generally carry 3 in the same area, but loose, and I like your idea better. The biggest problem I have is in snagging the rope I keep in the front handle as a leash. In my solo I can just slide them under the seat and keep the tips in the bow.

Usually at least 3. I normally fish all baitcasters medium-medium heavy 7 fters. One rigged w/ topwater, one with worm/jig/plastic and one with a crankbait or a spinnerbait. I like to be able to switch back and forth quickly dependent on the structure I find.

podum, It's a 5 year old Ocean Kayak Caper that I bought on ebay, they have discontinued this model. It weights 45 lb so I can throw it up on my shoulder to carry it. And the hatch come in handy on a cool morning when I wear wader or a jacket, I can take them off and put them in the hatch, out of the way. I do take off the carrying handle up front when I'm fishing so my lures don't get tangled in it.
