| I haven't tested this rig out yet but I am certain it will work far better and cause fewer problems than a drag chute. I think I can build it for about $4 if I have to buy all of the parts. I'll build and post it tomorrow. Hopefully I can use it on a Tarpon this week.

| Tarpon fishing in February in the Tampa area is pretty much a losing proposition unless you fish power plant canals, Crystal River or a few residential canals. February thru mid march is my most un-favorite time to fish around here. Re: Yak Brakes- I'll try to get to it this week. It rained most of the day today. Bug me to get it done. I really don't need the brakes myself because I can add a lot of extra drag using the StandNFish Pontoons with my rudder hard over. I see the need for them with most yaks, though.

| Brakes photo. 
I need to tweak these a little. It is not glued together in the photo. I need to shorten them a bit. It started thundering so I stopped where I was and took the photo.
