The Perception comes with two flush mount rod holders in the back that I use for paddling. It features a rotating collar that prevents the rod from taking off if a fish bites. It can easily be removed and thrown in the milk crate for transportation. I installed a Railblaza Rod Holder II in the front. The milk crate is secured by removable bungee straps I just simply put all my gear in the crate, attach it to the kayak, and off I go slaying fish. I got rid of the book bag in replace for a plastic case for the lures and tackle. This aloud me to store my water bottles, lures, plastics, terminal tackle, plies, braid scissors, fish scale, sunscreen, and dry bag behind the seat and with easy access. I did the classic YakGear milk crate and accessory pouch setup. Instead, I am going to touch on what I did to the yak to make it a better fit for fishing.Īfter only a few trips out with the kayak I noticed one thing that needed to be added right away – storage and a front rod holder.
You can read all about my impressions with the Perception Swifty 9.5 Deluxe as a kayak in my post about it here, so I won’t go into details. Needless to say, this is where I got the idea for a kayak. I diagnosed this as not being able to cast far enough out where the fish were holding for that day. I tried different lures, colors, and line but the fish never seamed to bite. I’ll be honest I think I caught about two fish last year, and when I say “caught” I meant feeling the thud on my rod. The main reason I purchased a kayak was because I wasn’t having any luck with bank fishing.
