Perception Sport Swifty 9.5

Featured Replies

I just recently bought this SINK. I'm looking for any input on fishing mods and diy. I have taken out once as a trial run and it was ok. I'm not worried about storage. I'm an amputee so I don't need the leg room lol! I just store everything in the bow. I plan on using it in mostly calm water and maybe a river run with class 1/2 rapids. I plan on doing some kind of anchor system, by not sure what would be the best options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife has a Little Swifty and loves it.  I like it as well, as it only weighs about 30 lbs. and I can carry it easily to and from my truck and to wherever we need to launch it.  She doesn't fish  - just paddles around a little and eventually goes to a shady area to read while I fish.  I bought her a small anchor - the kind that umbrellas out with four sides, weighs a few pounds and is quite compact.  Get some polyester rope about the size of clothesline, about 40 feet to tie to the anchor. Go to the dollar store and buy one of those foam noodles and cut it down to about a foot with a bread knife and you can wrap the anchor line around the foam, which will work well to store your anchor rope on. and will float if you drop it in the water.

You  may be able to mount a Scotty rod holder in the middle of the plastic top about arms length in front of you.  Also, you can buy a clip on plastic cup holder at the sporting goods store, such as Dick's for just a few bucks, where you can keep a water bottle handy.   

Best wishes on your fishing, hope this helps a little.
