You’re ready to go kayak fishing, and you’ve got the perfect kayak, your favorite rod, and ideal weather conditions. Just as the sun rises, you slip your kayak into the water and paddle to your destination. By the time you get there, it's already mid-morning! For fishermen and women that need to cover a lot of distance, a trolling motor is ideal! These motors take your kayak trolling experience to the next level! But how do you find out what trolling motor is the best for kayaking? Keep on reading to find out!

What is a Trolling Motor?

A trolling motor is a small, quiet electric engine that gives watercraft maneuverability without scaring fish. These engines can be mounted on personal kayaks. Rather than firing up load engines to move, a trolling motor can make adjustments in virtual silence.

Why Would a Kayaker Want One?

Trolling motors offer kayakers a number of awesome advantages, such as:

●They’re fast: Fishermen and women need speed. It can be miles to where they need to fish, so a recreation paddle simply won't make the cut. For die-hard anglers, getting quickly to where the fish are is important, and trolling motors are a quicker and more efficient alternative to paddling.

●They’re quiet: Unlike gas outboards, trolling motors are nearly silent! You can use a trolling motor on your kayak to get close to fish without frightening them.

What Trolling Motor is Best for Kayaking?

If you’re looking for the best trolling motor for your kayak, the Bixpy J-2 outboard motor kit is unquestionably the only option on the market. The J-2 Outboard Kit is designed with the small watercraft owner in mind. We know kayaks have limited space and limited ability to carry additional weight, so our electric outboards with batteries weigh less than 10 pounds total, making the Bixpy system the lightest system on the market. Still, it delivers just as much of a punch as a conventional trolling motor, five to six times its weight and size!

The super-efficient brushless motor in the J-2 Motor offers incredibly efficient performance in a direct drive system that is also whisper quiet. The PowerShroud™ technology in the propeller and motor shroud offers safe, covered water output that is a favorite of fishermen who can spend more time fishing and less time worrying about getting their lines unwrapped from their props.

The Bixpy Outboard Batteries are not only light and efficient, but they are also waterproof and buoyant! So, if you do go for a swim, you don’t need to worry about your battery. The same battery can run your J-2 motor for up to 22 hours at low trolling speeds or about 80 minutes at full power!

Best of all, the J-2 outboard motor kit is a complete kit that will allow you to motorize your kayak in seconds, not minutes or hours. This is the best option for getting an outboard motor and batteries anywhere on the market!
