Review: YakDaddy Slider On An X-Factor

Back in June I was looking for ways to optimize the storage in my kayak. Fishing from a Malibu X-Factor I have no issues with the ability to carry or store pretty much anything I want on it, the problem was accessing it on while on the water. I’ve had the standard issue crate since I started kayak fishing, but not being the most flexible guy I have had issues accessing it easily, and have even ended up in the water while trying.

Going Lead Free

More and more we hear about possible legislation prohibiting lead in certain waters.Usually these talks are focusing on waterfowl protection, and sportsmen are quick to push against the lawmakers and organizations hopeful for their causes. While the politics about lead use in fishing and hunting will make your head spin, there is no argument that lead is a toxic substance, period. Here are some great alternatives to lead that work excellently, and deserve a place in your tackle box.

Review: YakDaddy Original Slider

I’ve always wished I were more flexible. I’m not talking about mental or moral flexibility and my personal relationships are all pretty good. I’m talking about good ol’ fashioned stretch ability. I’d like to be able to touch my toes, or maybe sit cross-legged on the floor and play spades with my kids. Nope, flexible I aint. Some of you may recall my post on the TKAA Order of the Turtle board.

I was so excited to be given such a wonderful item of such great innovation. When I first saw them set up the slider displays and talked through the mounting and functionality of the devise, I was kinda skeptical at first thinking it would be too top heavy and interfere with kayaking strokes.

Green Tackle

Most kayak anglers I know are into conservation and stewardship just as much as they are with fishing. The news at night tells us about agencies prohibiting the use of lead splitshot and other small lead weights. Sometimes you just have to ask yourself, why use lead?

A couple years ago, Micah Carrick asked himself that same question.

Bag it...

The first booth I stopped at when I walked in the doors to ICAST was one that I returned to at least twice a day for the rest of the show. Precision-Pak manufactures a variety of fishing gear organization products, and many of those are made just for kayaks and kayak anglers.
