Have you ever tried holding a fishing pole, gun or camera and paddle your kayak a few yards? It is a very complicated effort. Try to fish, hunt, or photograph while paddling a kayak at the same time! You have to put something down to do the other!
“It was a fishing comedy on water.” I mused from afar. Jim was on the salt water flats flailing a seven foot kayak paddle. He was trying to hold onto an eight foot fishing pole while chasing a redfish through the mangroves. I thought to myself, “He needs another hand to juggle that kayak paddle and hold his rod.”
Paddle or fish? Paddle or shoot? This is the kayak fishermen’s dilemma!
All kayak fishermen and sportsmen have experienced the difficulty of paddling your kayak and holding your fishing rod. No matter how you “fore arm wrestle” or “cross body flail” that seven foot kayak paddle, it still requires two hands.
The question baffling the kayak fishing community is how do you hold onto your eight foot fishing rod with one hand and stealthily paddle your kayak with the other?
“It became readily apparent that kayak fishermen and sportsmen did not realize there was a hand paddle being developed to make their next fishing experience more rewarding!”
This is when the Kayak Fishing Hand Paddle concept was born.
Kayak fishing hand paddles are the straightforward solution to the kayak angler and sportsman’s dilemma. Yes, you can paddle and fish!
