For transport, the ideal situation is to have the rod holders angled so that they don't stick way out from the boat. That's great for holding rods for transport, but not always so great for trolling, simply because of the angle that they're installed at. The easy fix for the manufacturer is to install 2 flush mount rod holders behind the cockpit. Most fishing kayaks are called that because they have rod holders. jighead, with that same paddle-tail, and started trolling as I covered water. So I switched out the jerk bait for a ¾ oz. I caught fish on both so I was hesitant to swap either one out.īut as the day wore on, it became apparent that the majority of hits came on the jig head, and fewer were hitting the weedless jerk bait. weedless jerk bait for getting in to the grass. jighead (so it would sink slowly over grass beds), and a 1/8 oz. And, once I was back at my target area, the 2 lures I had were (in my estimation) perfect for the location. I pondered trolling back to point A, but the lures I had tied on to my default rods really didn't have the weight to stay down as I regrouped.
As a result I covered a lot of water while NOT fishing - not good. So, I'd make a cast or ten, and then make my way back to where I originally started. On an outing this weekend, I found myself being blown around a bit (thanks to the onset of tropical depression Isaac). I now feel that there is a valid reason for the 3rd rod, and that reason is so that you can quickly and effectively TROLL. I've suffered all of these, so that's why I roll with just 2 rods. Less likelihood that you'll get multiple rods tangled up with one errant backcast. Less/fewer opportunities for you to doubt what lure/bait you have tied on.
You've heard the expression about "Less Is More", but sometimes, "Less Is Less". As a rule, I normally head out with just 2 rods.
