hey guys how's it going i asked the questions in my community
what is the most underrated kayak fishing accessories if i happen to miss something
or you think something i said sucks add that in the comments below and so we'll go ahead and hop
in number one i was trying to think of the thing that really i use every single time but really
don't think about a whole lot and to be honest with you it's these guys right here these are
the yak attack pro mega rod holders and right now the rod holder i had to take it out because i had
to put the camera in so i can shoot this video but i'll often i use these every time i change my line
i just stick them right there those things are pretty awesome yak attack's a solid company i have
a lot of yak attack product on my yak this isn't a promo by any means i've never even reached out
to the company before but like the yak attack pro omegas those are the ones with the two adjustable
kind of points and so you can move it around i also love using it for trolling guys i catch so
many fish trolling sometimes i'm just going from this is a big lake that i'm on right now if i want
to go to the other side of the lake i'll hook up a couple crankbaits stick those out on the side of
my yak attack pro omega rod holders and boom i'll pick up a lot of crappie i'll pick up bass every
once in a while depending on what i'm running behind it pick up a catfish all right number two
this one comes from top wes he says a cooler for my beer one of the most underrated
kayak fishing accessories all right if you're with wes let me know in the comments below but uh man
yeah he guess you know the funny thing is i get i get reached out about every week by company wants
me to hock their stuff you don't see 99.9 of it because most of it's garbage and i have kind of
a rule for my channel if i don't use the product i'm not going to put it in any of my videos so
just my little promise to you all right moving on number three uh this one's actually i see a lot of
people actually see people today i'm out fishing it's beginning september it's a really
nice morning and i look around and see some other kayak fishermen and they don't have fish finders
you know back in the day it was cost prohibitive to get one of those things
they're pretty expensive but now you can get an entry level fish finder a garmin
striker four is the ones i recommend for an entry level for like 120 bucks and then aqua
pro batteries to kind of power them so for under 200 you can have yourself a fish finder which is
you know obviously great for marking fish also great for knowing what depth you're in i know
that mine lets me know what's how fast i'm going through the water which is really great to dial
in the speed that the fish want whenever i am trolling and so um if you're interested in a
fish finder check that out i'll put the links in the description below i also did a install video
on that nakwa power pro so if you're interested in that i'll throw that in the description below as
well moving on to the fourth most underrated kayak fishing accessory this one comes from you guys
what do i got here oh yeah absolutely ridiculous god freaking
a freaking tree all right this one comes from new canoe he says i can't believe
how many people don't carry an anchor and you know what i get that i don't carry an acre because i am
pedal powered i'm always on the move but if you're paddle powered and you want to
stay in one place i can see why anchor makes sense especially because they're so affordable
they're so cheap heck i know you can just make one with some paracord and a weight
and so might be the way to go actually one of my most popular videos is a video on
kayak fishing hacks that you can get from walmart not in the fishing aisle so if you want to check
that out i got a pretty sweet setup of how to make a diy anchor that is retractable all right moving
on next one is a kayak crate with rod holders with a bungee top uh i see a lot of guys oh
look what we got here look what we got here sorry you have to wait on this tip you piece of garbage
just thinking to myself how awesome would it be if i caught a fish while doing a video
i did catch a fish like a schlep i lose it not a bad one either on a two pounder
you're just gonna have to take my word for it we're gonna have to catch another one if you
buy these straight from a store sometimes they can run 150 plus and so i did a video on how to
make one of these real simple and it's the ones i have right back here hold six rod holders at night
you can kind of adjust them those kind of design my favorite part of it be honest with you is
the lid and the bungee on the back of the lid um which is nice for just throwing stuff back there
and so when you do lift the lid up it all doesn't follow the back your kayak or
in the water all right moving on all right this one comes in from solo canoe as well
thanks guys for making all these posts this one kind of hurts me a little bit to say
because i did a video that kind of made fun of this particular kayak fishing accessory and
well and a lot of people tell me i use this thing every day it is the brush gripper now i don't use
it because i think it's just where i fish but you know i think you come around to understand that
a lot of people have a use for it fish rivers fish mangroves fish all that type of stuff so
let me know in the comments do you own a brush gripper one do you own it and you never use it
or two you own it and you use it all the time so let me know all right moving on the next one
this one is mine it's kind of a weird it's not really a kayak fishing accessory per se
it is something you use while you're on your kayak so i'm going to say it polarized glasses
folks if you don't have polarized glasses you were putting yourself at a serious disadvantage
especially under sunny days if you have a pair of glasses and you wonder if they're polarized or not
simply stick them up to your screen turn them 90 degrees and if your lenses go black
well you got polarized glasses that's great you use those out in the water it's going to
help you reduce those glares and not only to be able to sight fish if you're sighting bed fish
but also going to be really good for you to be able to see underneath the water see what your
structure looks like see what your weed lines look like so you actually know where to throw so
polarized glasses make the list not really a kayak fishing accessory but i'm throwing it in there
anyways you know why this is my video i can do whatever i want all right next one comes in from
buff bass hey brother how you doing man he says he loves his yak attack rod holders uh which is
awesome because this is i've never seen one before actually i've seen pictures of one before so i
guess how it works is you just stick your paddle on it and boom it kind of locks it in you have to
worry about like setting bungees or anything like that so solid add underrated probably i don't own
one maybe i should look into one maybe yak attack should send me one i'll do a demo for everybody
this one i use all the time guys right here looks like a brush gripper it is not it is a fish grip
and i love the fish grip for a couple of reasons um two scenarios i'm using
this and i i hope to use it all the time because uh if i catch a pig like a five
six pound monster what i'll do instead of let him beat himself to death in the bottom of my kayak
i'll hook them up on the fish grip and i put them back in the water so you can swim around
until i get my camera ready and my videos and all that stuff and he done so he's not bouncing around
or potentially jumping out of my kayak so the other scenario is sometimes when i'm bass fishing
um i will catch something using the ned rig catch walleye a toothy critter i'll catch
a dogfish i'll catch a giant catfish things you don't want to lip necessarily and that's what's
really nice to have a fish grip on board just kind of sits there on the side whenever i need it
i grab it and i think it's underrated because i don't see a lot of guys carrying them around
moving on the next one guys i want this fish again that i lost let's see if he forgot that i came
through here and let's see if i can get him again sitting over here in the grass all right the next
underrated kayak finishing accessory comes from tdub 127. he says a pdf in my opinion is the most
underrated and underused accessory i think this is followed up by john baker he said
most people have it's only a kayak attitude so let me know in the comments below obviously
i have my thoughts on it considering i'm not wearing one right now it is right behind me
in the seat and it will automatically blow up but i know the arguments for and against that
uh but let me know in the comments below do you wear no judgment also do you wear a kayak
personal flotation device why you kayak fish all right let's have enough let's have that argument
down there let everyone get all riled up i got an accessory for you you guys are gonna like this one
i don't see hardly anybody doing videos and stuff on this bad boy it's the tethered
fingernail clippers right here guys i use these like every time i change out some type of lure
when i'm cutting the tag ends or i need to remove some braid that's knotted up on the end of a lure
those things are really nice to have just right there tethered to my kayak this one comes from
low life oh i got lucky i got the tree and i pulled it out this one comes from low life 74.
essentially says rudder control because mostly the 1200 or less kayaks do not come with them i can
hear you there i'm not sure if it's an accessory but if you haven't had a rudder control and
but i definitely see that because i have a kayak without a rudder control and i have a kayak with
a rudder control and the one i'm on right now it's really nice just to be able to kind of
turn my rudder to the left turn it to the right and make some real minor adjustments keep your
kayak steady and stay in position so i hear you there all right moving on all right next one's
mine it's a landing gear guys especially if you have a very heavy kayak i'm trolling right now
because i'm going to my next spot it's across the lake like i said hopefully maybe i'll pick one up
i'm marking 20 fish on my fish finder right now so we'll see if these crankbaits pick them up but
that landing gear is great you can buy it that's specific if you have a fishing specific kayak
and you have kind of these track mounts on the side native has some great landing gear that i
highly recommend the reason i love it it's got pneumatic wheels when you hit those rocks or
any kind of corner of the concrete the wheel's going to take the brunt of the force and it's
not going to send it up to your kayak you can also go to walmart and buy some sea tugs i've
used those as well they work pretty well not pneumatic so every route you hit it's kind of
boom pop it up to your kayak and potentially kind of makes it loose so not a huge fan of that but it
is more cost effective all right the next one comes with richard souza he says the stakeout
pole underrated kayak fishing accessory for him he said he doesn't carry an anchor and as
long as he's in seven feet of water or less he's good to go so let me know in the comments below
do you carry a stakeout pole or power pole is that how you anchor your yak and order fish i'm
actually really curious let me know all right the next one is the under the seat storage for
your kayaks followed up by zip zip he said the same exact thing great minds think of like zip
zip thank you but this guy has 18 compartments two drawers if it's under i'm in this thing
seven eight nine times a trip and it holds all my soft plastics and all my terminal tackle
that i easily want to have accessible to me all throughout the day so i love it big fan i'll throw
it in description below on this particular kayak you actually need 3d printed seat risers in order
to get that under there but man pretty cheap and you will be happy it beats the crap out of turning
around every five seconds trying to find in your kayak crate that hook or that lure so you can kind
of plan out the night before by having all the lures you want to try out in your under the seat
you just quickly go under there and grab them all right this one comes from cr skies he says
electric trolling motor and to be honest with you i would be really happy to have
one right about now um but last time i priced them out i was actually pricing out the bixby
eleven hundred dollars for that bad boy that's about as much as i spent for my kayak
period so let me know in the comments do you have an electric trolling motor do you love
it what don't you love about it i'm actually really curious because i think i might want one
but i need to do a little research first we got gary louder back saying a good solid fishnet or a
fish grabber so we talked about the fish grabber talk about a fishnet i don't actually carry one
but he mentioned he said it's all fun and games until you have that treble hook that's all mangled
in the mouth of that largemouth bass you actually have to lip it which i just dealt with yesterday
got lucky didn't hook myself on the lip and so i'm not i could see the benefit of having that
i just something about reaching in the water lipping a bass pulling it up over the side that
i personally love but also i know in tournaments you don't want to lose bass you don't want to mess
around so i understand why you need a net and a good quality one too so whenever you do get those
treble hooks in there they don't get caught in your necks those rubberized ones i would imagine
would be nice all right in your opinion did i miss any let me know in the comments below see ya
