Kayak Fishing Gear for Beginners
We believe that for anglers, equipment such as fishing rods, reels, bait, or various accessories are essential. And if your target is far from the shore, what do you need? Today we Let's talk about these devices.
Let's start with the basic equipment for your kayak.
The first thing is a “ kayak” because if you want to go fishing far away, not just on the shore, a good kayak should be the answer for many people. In addition to a kayak, what else is necessary? That is a “ paddle ” because if you have a boat but no paddle, you cannot control the direction. In addition, another very important thing that cannot be missed is a “ life jacket ” because every time you do water activities, a life jacket is a life-saving device. No matter how good you are at swimming, if you have to be in an unexpected situation, a life jacket can be life-or-death. Therefore, it is very important to always wear a life jacket while doing water activities ! And another essential thing is a “ waterproof bag or bag ”. Because water activities are quite difficult to avoid getting wet, so whatever we can do to prevent it, we should do it first rather than waiting for damage to our lives and property.
Fishing equipment
And of course, just as a warrior must have weapons, so must a fisherman have equipment. And a fisherman’s weapon can only be “ a fishing rod, reel, bait ” and there are other equipment to support these things, starting with the “ fishing rod holder ”. It is used to insert fishing rods when not in use or when you want to travel to or move to a new location. Most anglers usually carry several fishing rods. In addition to setting up the rods for travel, it is also suitable for trolling anglers. And then there is the “ bait box ”. For neatness and convenience in picking up and using, " swing " To help scoop up fish because being on a kayak in the water may make it harder to lift fish out of the water than being on the bank. Therefore, you should carry a swing to help you not miss the fish. And then there are “ fish tongs” which are not much different from fishing on the shore.
Electronic devices
It is believed that the goal of every angler in every fishing trip is to get the best size and type of fish, or Trophy Fish , as a reward for themselves. But as we all know, in the water we cannot know where the fish live. For both new and experienced anglers, knowledge and experience are still required. How great would it be if there was a helper that was a magic eye for finding fish, “FISH FINDER”? It is an assistant that will make it easier to find fish. And when you catch fish, no one wants to miss the important moment. Or the content line that must have is an action camera.
Comfort equipment
Kayak fishing is an activity that requires constant exposure to hot weather and intense sunlight. Therefore, every angler should always be prepared before going out to do the activity, starting with “ sun protection fishing shirts ”. “Sun protection cloth” and should apply “sunscreen”. Many male anglers may feel lazy or feel that men do not need to be cosmetic. It is not just about skin care but also about UV protection. which can cause skin cancer. "Anti-friction gloves" will help prevent sore hands when paddling because for beginners, paddling for a long distance can cause friction and blisters. As for "cooler tanks", outdoor activities definitely require water or drinks to prevent excessive water loss from the body, which can cause discomfort.
Emergency equipment
Outdoor activities can cause unexpected events at any time, so it is important to have emergency equipment. “First aid kit” in case of wounds to prevent infection or common medicines. “Pocket knife with life jacket” is used in case of an incident such as a propeller or paddle getting stuck in underwater debris or even for cutting and slicing fish. “Paddle strap” is quite necessary for fishermen because fishing requires hands to hold the fishing rod, especially when the fish takes the bait and focus on the fishing rod until they may forget the paddle and fall into the water and float away. If you have a paddle strap, you don’t have to worry. “Signal light with flag” If you want to fish at dusk, signal light is very important. Therefore, you should have a flag and signal light so that large boats or participants can see from a distance. Or if the unexpected really happens, you should have an “automatic signal light” attached to your life jacket. The light will turn on automatically when you fall into the water but will not turn on if you are hit by water droplets such as raindrops or splashed water. The light will flash to signal others.
All of the above equipment is something that every kayak fisherman should have. But if you are comfortable with whichever one or likes, do it. And always keep safety in mind. I hope everyone enjoys paddling their kayak to go fishing.
