I've done my fair share of paddle and peddle
Paddlers with forward mounted rod holders have to place them a lot further away than peddlers making them a big stretch to reach.
A Rod in your life jacket isnt a bad solution but far from perfect.
A twitched lure while trolling attracts more strikes.
A paddle in my lap while fighting a fish often slides out one side into the water forcing me a some point to grab it again. This happens most of the time as where as wrapping a fish around my fins has yet to happen.
I'm mystefied! How dose a paddler use good fighting technique by applying side or upward pressure when being pulled from behind with both hands on his rod. There are fish in my neighbour hood that cant be stopped from behind like that.
My legs are definatly stronger than my arms. No marketing con will ever convince me to walk on my hands.
Outbacks and Sports are fat hulls because they can be under peddle power. Revolutions and Adventures are slicker than many paddle yaks. All are extremly seaworthy, you should try more of the range.
My Hobie goes in reverse when I reach for the paddle ( you must be doning something diffrent, please enlighten me? ) its also there to use in the surf.
Matt Miller replies to many postings on forums about Hobie Products, positive, negative and helpfull. There would be many more than 500 posts but that is nothing for the World's Number 1 manufacturer of Kayaks. Its kinda comforting to know they listen to their customers and back their products in public.
