How to rig your kayak with a diy drift chain for kayak fishing. category howto & style; show more show less. kayak drag chain - duration: 18:16. yak thrasherz 4,367 views.. When used carefully and properly, a drag chain can make fishing rivers seem like a breeze. used like an anchor, a drag chain slows your pace going down river, allowing you time to fish all the holes. almost like you are going down river set on “cruise” control.. Drag chain setup i saw a video chad did that was actually a pretty cool idea. he used the paddle bungie on the wilderness kayak side told hold it via the float at the end of the line..
Drag chain style anchors are commonplace in the east, so much so that jackson kayaks built the coosa and big tuna with drag anchor use in mind. here on the west coast, however, drag chains are just not up to the task of keeping the kayak where we need to work over areas holding steelhead.. If like to outfit my coosa with a drag chain. seems like a pretty simple project. i bought a retractable dog leash fro harbor freight for $6 but it doesn't fit in the handle.. I choose the sash weight over the drag chain because the ponds that i normally fish in are full of fallen trees and anchors regularly get donated. i thought the sash weight stood less chance of getting snagged. i do plan on making a drag chain for rivers, and it is easily swapped out. #.
