Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n In preparation for comparison to the new W500 I have been spending time “relearning the joys” of sit inside and sit on top kayaks.<\/p>\n Besides the obvious back issue already known there is the concern of shoulder pain. I have had some discomfort, but in talking to a few other fellow kayak fishermen they mentioned the pain associated with casting from the awkward L position. I noticed soreness the next day trying to power out long casts from the L position. It was far easier to just get out and wade since in the standing position the casts were braced.<\/p>\n I think in many cases the so called fishing kayaks are really just fishing transport devices, since actually fishing from them is a constant compromise. Many times getting out on a suitable bank or sand bar is far more comfortable. Besides, in many sit on tops the wet butt syndrome leads to other comfort problems down the road…<\/p>\n If we compare a standard cast from the Wavewalk kayak to a cast from a sit on top we see two different things entirely: The sit on top cast is a controlled flail with the hope for distance and accuracy. It is many times followed by a winch from the angler as they deal with the pain. A cast from the W kayak is a powerful controlled launch that accurately places the lure right where it needs to be. It’s quite a difference, and one that can only be experienced – it is difficult to describe.<\/p>\n More on Fishing Kayak Ergonomics<\/a> \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Jeff McGovern Florida In preparation for comparison to the new W500 I have been spending time “relearning the joys” of sit inside and sit on top kayaks.
