Riders on the storm....... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A battery on and off switch to the trolling motor, It's to easy to bump it on....and wrap a fishing line when not in use....I have already experienced that using my down rigger ball totally wrapping my prop with at least 100ys of 65lb braid, i didn't even know it was on, lucky i didn't blow a 50 amp fuse
I had to take my prop off on the water 💧
Now I have a knott in my team Daiwa combo after untangling it at home and splicing it back in.
I hate feeling a knot in the guides. I'm thinking I can just swap ends on the reel and never feel it and have new line again 🙃
