Peddle vs. Paddle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Paddling is much better exercise for your upper body and is cheaper to get started kayak fishing. If you decide to sell a paddle kayak and buy a Hobie/peddle kayak - I don't think you will go back and buy another paddle kayak unless you lose a foot or you get you sponsored by a paddle kayak company. Your legs are much bigger muscles that are sitting doing nothing and save your arms for fighting fish. - just saying. A PA 14 is like a small mothership and I do not plan to trade or go to a paddle kayak...I have seen guys go from PA14 to the newer PA12 and they are happy. All kayaks have advantages and disadvantages that is why there and many different makes and models...
