Kayak Brakes.
I haven't tested this rig out yet but I am certain it will work far better and cause fewer problems than a drag chute. I think I canbuild it for about $4 if I have to buy all of the parts.
I'll build and post it tomorrow.Hopefully I can use it on a Tarpon this week. |

RE: Kayak Brakes.
Tarpon fishing in February in the Tampa area is pretty much a losing proposition unless you fish power plant canals, Crystal Riveror a few residential canals. February thru mid march is my most un-favorite time to fish around here.
Re: Yak Brakes- I'll try to get to it this week. It rained most of the day today. Bug me to get it done. I really don't need the brakes myself because I can add a lot of extra drag using the StandNFish Pontoons with my rudder hard over. I see the need for them with most yaks, though. |

RE: Kayak Brakes.
I just posted Tip # 952, Kayak Brake System on the Fishing and Boating Tip Forum.
http://fishthebridge.com/fishingforu...2211-11-1.aspx Please pardon my crude drawing. I'll build the real thing and post it if this rain ever stops. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN UN-TESTED TIP BUT YOU CAN BET IT WILL WORK. |

RE: Kayak Brakes.
Brakes photo.
 I need to tweak these a little. It is not glued together in the photo. I need to shorten them a bit. It started thundering so I stopped where I was and took the photo. |
