Canoe Outriggers: What An Outrigger Is And Why You Might Need it

If you are an active canoe fisherman, and plan on fishing in rougher waters, then canoe outriggers will make up a very crucial part of your equipment. Very simply, these are essentially weights you install onto you canoe that keep it balance.

Yes, these can be quite pricey, but they will be well worth it if you are in rougher waters. I would highly recommend them for any fisherman, because when fishing you will be standing up a lot, and therefore you want to keep the canoe stable and prevent it from capsizing.

Also, if a sudden storm were to rise up while out at sea, the water will obviously become rougher, and in this situation, a canoe outrigger can be a lifesaver, sometimes literally.

In addition, if you don’t already own your own canoe, then you can buy canoe outriggers right with the canoe itself, sometimes saving some money by buying these items separately. However, if you already own a canoe, you can get the outriggers apart from this without spending too much.

Where is the best location to find these? You can check your local boat dealerships and fishing shops, of course, but you will probably find these are very expensive at these locations, because they will always sell them new.

In reality, as with anything else you want to buy, when you know what to look for, you can save a lot of money by buying used. Check Craiglist and your local papers to find people who are wiling to get rid of them for a fraction of the retail price (it really isn’t that hard to find them).

EBay is another great place I’d recommend, although you might not find as wide a selection in your specific area, because most of the ones listed will be national listings. With that said, however, you can find some low priced deals here as well, if you are willing to pay for shipping for your canoe outriggers.
