You can see how I store it behind the graph in this photo:

Seconded. It really is a power multiplier having the leverage set up the way it’s designed. And it folds in half. I keep mine on top of the splash guard and under both rod tip tabs on the front of my Vibe Shearwater 125. I’ll see if I can find a pic. Well, it isn’t in the photo because the pic is from a LOT of modifications ago, but you can see where I’m describing I store it. Best part is it doesn’t take up a rod holder that way.

Putting a stake through your scupper holes is a fast way to crack and sink your kayak. It *seems* like the perfect solution, but it is a recipe for disaster. get a trolley, and you can either use a stakeout pole through the guide or an anchor attached to a long retractable dog leash with a quick/disconnect carabiner so you can easily disconnect if you get in trouble in current.

Up on mgc. Hitch available in TK. Didn’t check what’s available in K9.

$190 USD doesn’t seem too steep for something so substantial. But then there’s the rod you need to throw it. Yikes.

I live in MD and fish all over. HMU if you ever want to join!

That’s why I bought an Uncharted Supply Co Rapid Raft. It packs down to the size of a folded up hoodie, and I can inflate it in 60 seconds, use a telescoping emergency canoe paddle, and use my knocker from directly above the snag. the raft and paddle were about $480 altogether, so if they save 2 or 3 expensive glides they’d have paid for themselves. it’s also nice being able to keep a “boat” in my car so I can paddle and fish whenever I want.
