If there's anything I regret about the way in which the Yakass website was recently upgraded from v.2 to v.3, it was the sacrificing of the forum posts. There was one particular thread that I miss the most and I'd like to get it back. That was the 'kayak fishing safety tips' thread, which quickly grew to a sizable collection of some of the best safety suggestions going. I'm expecting our collective effort here to out-do our the previous thread though, after all, we're all a bit older and wiser now than we were before and on top of that, there's more of us now. And we didn't even have any prizes on offer to inspire those posts last time... but this time we do. Given the topic of this competition is intended to encompasses kayak fishing safety and everything to do with it, it's suitable that the main prize would be related to the topic. 

May I introduce you to the MTI Riptide Type 2 kayaking PFD, which I might add, is perfectly designed for kayak fishing, both in open and enclosed waters. After marvelling at the materials, design and quality of manufacturing, inside the pockets of the Riptide vest, the winner of this competition is going to find a packet of Ikado 102 rubber squid jigs featuring the new 'swing weight system' as well as the new Rapala Mini Charge and Glow, which could be used to charge the illumination of said jigs for maximum effect. Thanks to Rapala and Maclean Outdoors for the prizes!
