Definitely get a cart instead of strap, and 1 good anchor and anchor wizard with a anchor trolley gives u the ability to face the kayak any direction vs just 2 directions with this 2 AW setup
Definitely have a cart just always end up using my strap more haha i see both ways, im a fan of quick and effective. And yes ive gone the trolley route with one before i settled on two. It was great honestly, my only drawback was not have an easy way to stow the anchor with the trolley. I always found myself facing directly into the wind or directly away from the wind regardless, so it works for me! Thanks for the feedback though love hearing everyone's setups!
Definitely get wheels/dolly. Will reduce the wear from dragging your kayak from your vehicle to the launch point. There are many affordable options out there.
Love the video however, please just get a kayak cart 😭hah they are very affordable and will extend the lifetime of your kayak to the point that dragging it or moving it will never wear down your kayak
I have a kayak cart that I use as well! This vid was just highlighting 5 things that I could not live without, like the bare bones essentials for me. Totally agree a cart is the move!
I cannot say from personal experience as I primarily fish florida lakes, but I know from watching youtube videos of river fishermen that they are the anchor system of choice. For a more detailed breakdown I recommend watching "The Little Stuff" youtube channel. He is a very experienced and advanced kayak angler who shows all his kayak setups and how to do it.
What product is that allowing dual rod holders? I can see the argument for anchors if your paddling but when pedalling I hardly use it. Certainly still occasionally use it for some situations but it gets used less for me.
They are called "side arms" made by yakattack, I think they are linked in the video description. Yeah anchors definitely needed as a paddler but I can see if you have a peddling boat how it becomes less essential!
We're not kayakers, we're fisherman. Much rather save my time and energy out in the water for fishing. The paddles are always there for back up, but I'm not gonna paddle for half of my time out in the water. Work smarter not harder
I have a cart for extended drags, but if im going from my car 50 feet to the shore to launch, i hate loading all my gear onto the kayak and then onto the cart just to have to walk it back to the car or try and find a spot on the kayak once I get to the water. Its just convenience and efficiency thats all, I use both.
Fair enough! If I were just paddling my boat of choice would probably be about half the weight of this one, so that would be a lot more feasible to carry. Thanks for watching!
Sorry but have to disagree with your recommendation on the anchor wizards. Totally over-priced item, $140+ for a hand crank and chute?! And you have TWO? Use a divers reel with a larger handle mounted on a track (if you want) with the anchor chute… $55 total.
I totally agree it's overpriced, but unfortunately theres nothing else like it on the market. It is the best "plug n play" no headache anchor system out there. Thanks for the feedback!
I took my new kayak out for the first time Sunday and came home and immediately started researching anchors.
Anchor wizard with da bomb anchors all the way!

Love how thoughtful each item on your kayak is. There’s not a ton of space but you’ve managed to utilize it well
Thank you!
The anchor wizard is a must
Cant live without
Nice video! Just stumbled across this one and always enjoy seeing how others rig their yaks. New subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
Plain and clear
Thank you! Thats the goal👍🏼

How well does an anchor wizard work in rivers? I fish facing up stream

@@jakemeetsfish thank you! I'll check him out.

@@jakemeetsfish thanks
What kind of anchors do you use with you Anchor Wizard?
Da Bomb anchors! 6lb each
Finally a real kayak fisherman who uses a paddle. Tired of the pedal and motor “kayak” fishermen
Ah the gatekeeper of kayak fishing...

@@scarotticjust say you got low stamina and are weak bro
@@eggncream what can I say, my trolling motor spoiled me
You all took the bait on my comment
What boots are those ?
Xtratuf! Link is in the bio to amazon :)
Get a kayak cart & don't drag your kayak.
My problem is not the boat but the fact I can't swim.
That could be a hinderance😂
@@jakemeetsfish you think 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dont understand why you would drag a kayak across dirt and concrete "wear and tear evenly" when you could get a $50 cart and "wear and tear...none"
I have a cart for extended drags, but if im going from my car 50 feet to the shore to launch, i hate loading all my gear onto the kayak and then onto the cart just to have to walk it back to the car or try and find a spot on the kayak once I get to the water.

Or... don't drag your kayak... 50 years of paddling, I have never needed to drag (and ruin) a kayak.

My heaviest is 150 lbs w/o gear. I use a cart. Add a 6th to video of a packable cart :)
