how to keep my rapala lure in a straight line?

6 Replies

i found a rapala lure while on holiday ( the jointed type), it’s got a bit of rust on the trebles but the rest of the lure is in pretty good shape. so i rigged it up with some steel leader and a swivel and tested it in my pool but it seems to want to pull towards the left while i am reeling it in! this could cause a problem while i fish because i was going to troll it on my fishing kayak with other lures in the water and it will probably tangle with the other lures. is this normal for it to go to the left, can i stop it doing this?

What Kayak is Right For Me?

3 Replies

Hi all! I am new to the kayaking sport. I am looking to purchase my first Kayak. I prefer sit in but I am also open to your advice. I need a kayak. I am looking to spend about 600. I know theres not that much to choose from but enough to confuse me.

Heres what I would like to do with it.

Lots of half day trips maybe up and back down the river. Most bodies of water will be calm.

However, I would like the option to get through minor rapids , tight places, and I may like to give it a shot on the ocean on a VERY calm day and just along the shore.

I like to fish, photograph, and record lots of things. Wildlife will have to be either deaf or I need a quiet kayak.

My personal liking (looks & comfort wise) has landed me looking at the Loon 100 due to price and also the perception montour. I hear a lot of complaints about the little thing on the back (oops forgot what it was called.)

Weight I am okay with 55 ish..

All advice MUCH appreciated…

Thanks,

Charlie
