Top 3 Portable Kayak Fishing Items I Pack for Quick Trips
I show the three lightweight, affordable fishing items I pack for quick, unplanned kayak fishing trips and how I use them.
What’s in this video
For quick kayak fishing trips it’s easy to overpack, and too much gear can get in the way of catching fish. Rigging smart is what I do. In this one I show 3 items I use all the time: a Cuban yoyo reel, Ready Fish and a folding net.
This gear packs easily, is lightweight and affordable, and gets the job done. I explain how I use each one on my quick unplanned trips. I also ran a giveaway for all three items, and the winner was picked at random.
