>>1047862>does your paddle have drip rings?Yarp. Didn't have them mounted though. Didn't bother RTFM and thought they were oar-holders or some shit and thought they were useless. Before I saw your post I did some research and learned about drip rings. Hopefully I can get out and try again today.
And yeh, to turn it into a real fishing machine some mods are needed as is to be expected as a) it is dirt cheap and b) it is not a fishing kayak like f.ex. a Hobie.
I really recommend it to anyone who wants to give kayak fishing/kayaking a try but don't wanna spend a fortune on a 'real' kayak or don't have room or transportation for a one.
