Kayak Fishing for the Complete Idiot I read the article “Stay Put” by Cory Routh on using a shuttle anchor rig (Summer/Fall 2008) and found it completely idiotic. I guess your writer never has been on the water. Te illustration with the article was also deeply flawed as were the


instructions. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Take a look at the routing of the anchor line. What happens if one


has to get rid of the anchor? You loose the cleat and the line feeds out until the float hits the carbiner. Te proper use of the anchor is to pull a loop through the O-ring. Providing shoddy or bad information instantly destroys any


credibility you may have enjoyed. Good luck as you move from job to job. I would suggest having Routh contact Jason Blair as he just seems to make up information to fill space. Ed Dennis Saint Simons Island, Georgia


Cory Routh replies: Either way will work. In the diagram you simply unhook the line out of the carabiner and dump the anchor.


A Slippery Question Te electronics rigging article in the Spring 2008 issue refers to “conductive grease.” Having corrosion problems with my kayak sonar connectors, I went looking for some. No luck, even at electrical supply stores. I would really appreciate a name brand.

Paul Lebowitz replies: I’m partial to Fluid Film. Tere are Vaseline-like products in automotive and marine shops, but the lighter stuff is better.


Worth the Drive When I found your magazine online I called all over Creation until I found a copy at Paddle Shack in Mays Landing, New Jersey. Only problem, he was 40 minutes away. When I told the gentleman that I was the fool who drove 40 minutes for a magazine, he laughed. “I could not charge anyone who drove 40 minutes for a magazine,” he said. I was not disappointed. I love your magazine and will be subscribing.
