Hello Guys , Looking to getting a kayak this spring/summer. Mostly fish freshwater, will be using it along the Yarra and the Nong, with the occasional trip the the Murray or the ovens. Factors I am particular about: - Foot Pedals -Ability to be a car topper, I can get roof racks on my Prado Install...

Saturday a mate Leejo and myself headed to Cleeland Bight for a bit of a paddle and to troll some lures , Leejo has just upgraded kayaks for something a bit better off shore ( upgrading from a hobie revo to a Steath Profisha 575 ) - we headed out to the end of Cape Woolamai I got one hit and no hook...

trailer sounds good, no need to lift onto car roof rack, but my car has no tow bar. Another $200-$300 to install a tow bar. Kinda over my budget. Funny thing I use a trailer on a much lighter kayak one of the reasons it’s quicker to set up and pack up at the launch. Another my car doesn’t smell lik...

I just use Rigmaster hooks, cheap and never had one fail. My only query on them is if they're as 'sticky' as a premium brand like Owner or Gamakatsu. Never heard about Rigmater hooks, what country do those hook make form? China Chinese stuff is not very good. I’ve heard that to. But it may be worth...

Now, one kayak even the Titan can be put on roof rack, but two is a bit difficult. Does anyone know where to get kayak trailer? Second hand possibly. There's a few boat trailers and the usual box trailers, but hard to find kayak trailer. Thinking something like 1.2m wide and able to stack. I let yo...

Second hand id possible. There's few boat trailers but not kayak trailers. it depends on what car yo...
