Ever try a ditsy diver versus the down riggers on the yaks

Yes I notice peddling did look easier can you put the motor insert in yours?

No I have never owned one. I thought about it but you are limited on depths and I would also need a line counter reel to fish it effectively so it was more cost effective and depth flexible to get the downrigger

There is a company that makes a motor insert for my kayak but they are crazy expensive(2150 USD). Nice small light weight and with a powerful lithium battery but I can live without it for that price. The propel system used on the Hobies is surprisingly effective and a guy can cover a lot of ground. I have well over 200 kms on my kayak this year alone already.
