kerusso 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2024 I've got several of the old (iron, steel?) window weight that should make great anchors for kayak fishing. As they are made from steel or iron they will be making a lot of noise when used on the rocks. What is the best way to soften or deaden the noise? Any insight appreciated; thank you.

Chasing_Tails 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2024 How much weight are you needing? I use downrigger ball weights that are lead and cause limited noise on the bottom. I typically use 2-3lb, but you can find them larger. Also, another trick if you go with the sash weights is to Plasti-dip them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 9 I have two 5 lb. dumbbell weights. Basically, they're plastic covered cement and they work well. But, I'm in a canoe, not a kayak when I am using them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
