    Parafoil Kites?

    Hey guys,
    I was Tunafishing the other day, and noticed several boats flying Black parachute style kites - I think these are called "parafoils".

    I already have an FSE, and love it, but need to get a second. It looked as if flying the two types of kites, it was easier to keep the baits separated.

    Does anyone know anything about this type of Kite, and if so, where can I pick one up.

    Thanks,
    -Jay

    Thanks - what size did you go with? I'm looking to keep a bluefish up while drifting.

    I bought my fishing kites from Caught in Flight (Australia), but I don't know the name of that kind of kites

    I will use the kites from the beach. I only had the chance to fly one of the kites twice and the wind wasn't in the direction I needed one of the days.

    I can't wait to use the kite and catch a nice catfish with it

    parafoil 7.5

    Haven't tried any big baits but it has a lot of pull so see no reason it would not work
