Kayak Window Weight Anchor: Episode 3

[NaveganteBOG]

Great videos with good ideas. I'll suggest you to learn how to make a bowline knot. The bowline is an exceptionally versatile knot. It is quick to tie (once you practice), it doesn't slip and it doesn't jam. Also, a stopper knot, wich is easy to do and undo when necessary.

it will be stronger than the knots he made

I think since were talking about fishing kayaks and playing some ska, we need some reel big fish playing in the background :)

where can i get a window weight?

[fishyaker]

Try a salvage shop that speciallizes in home supplies. They were common years ago, and when older homes have windows replaced they are usually just thrown out now.

hello how much line do you put on your anchor

thanks

[dvanbramer88]

enough

[fishyaker]

It should be at least twice the depth of the water. It would mainly depend on how much current there is.

hey, is an 8 pund mushroom anchor to heavy for a sit on kayak?

[fishyaker]

That will work, but may be more than is necessary. A lot would depend on how swiftly the water is moving where you are anchoring.

i heard you could use one of those retractable dog leashes for keeping your anchor line neat, do you think that line is strong enough?

[pmanpatishere]

whats the red cork for

[fishyaker]

It's a float, in case you need to quickly release your anchor line in order to maintain stability of the kayak, or to fight a fish. You then can paddle back and get the anchor afterwards.

thanks alot all this help is just great for me rigging up my sit on top

[fishyaker]

Ask any questions you have... Cheers!

a lead "cod weight" works excellent in a kayak... i use a 3 lb size...in a 15ft prowler.. works nice... sometimes a 5 lb when winds stronger...
