We are all guilty of it. We focus so much on kayak fishing, kayak accessories, kayak motors and all of the “stuff” that we forget what drew us to kayaking in the first place. Kayaks can go places boats can’t. Kayaking offers a more intimate experience with the water, friends and family. Sometimes we all need to force ourselves to slow down and remember why we all fell in love with kayaking in the first place. Join JT as he shares his summer of fishing struggles and how a recent trip made him realize he was missing out on the important stuff.

Kayak fishing pedal drives completely change your experience on the water. Keeping your hands free for fishing while navigating the water can play a huge role in your success and how much you enjoy your time on the water. Johnathan and JT walk through the different Hobie Fin Drives, the benefits of each and which models they come on. https://ecofishingshop.com/collections/hobie
Hobie fishing revolutionized kayak fishing pedals by creating the Fin Drive. Their unique kayak pedal drive utilized two fins that flap under the kayak to propel you forward. Traditional propeller drives work like a bicycle pedal, but fin drives are a push-pull motion and are easier on the joints with adjustable foot pedals. Fin drives are different than propeller drives because they can fold up flat to your hull and navigate water as shallow as a few inches in some cases.
