First Kayak

[hardwaterfishing]

I bought a kayak the other day, it’s a angler 144. Anyway, after I got it home I noticed in one of the cup holders there where four plastic caps with string that runs through them. I have no idea what they are for. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Can you get a picture of it? I'm having a hard time coming up with an explanation....

I have an Axis Dagger and have something similar. I find it helpful in holding a flybox, or waterbottle down...I also leave my fishfinder thermometor coiled up secure under the bungee. I'll try to take pics tomorrow when I'm out.

Hardwaterfisher,

I would bet that what you are describing are scupper plugs. The angler 144 is a sit on top kayak with holes thru the deck into the water beneath. The scupper plugs can be used in those holes to keep water from coming up thru the holes if the kayak is weighed down a bit or if the water is a bit rough. If the kayak fills with some water, just pull out the scupper plugs and it will drain.

Get that yak out in the weeds and get it slimed!!

Have fun,

Thanks for the replies! Yes they are scupper plugs

I'm guessing they're scuppers as well. I usually only put 2 under my seat and leave the ones in front and the far back open. Drains easy
