I just picked up a Lightning Kayak Nomad I paid $1300 new for the price it can’t be beat. The original MSRP I believe is $2200 is a good kayak I stand and fish all day and is fast. You guys should check it out. Thanks for the video!

I’ve heard good things about the nomads.
Some interesting Kayaks. I have the Old Town 106 and I love it. Probably a little small for saltwater (the 120 Salty would be better for that but it breaks the 2500 barrier) I weight 240 lb and am 6 ' 3"" The 106 fits me perfectly with added gear. That new roto-mold Hobie does look nice (I liked the reinforced scupper holes for a cart) . From experience, absolutely do not buy a PDL without a break way system . The Old Town has it and it works. Don't ask me how I know. Even with the breakaway hitting submerged log is a hard hit. Don't have to worry about that with the finn drives. Although the PDL 106 paddles fine with the drive ups there are a couple of lakes I fish with large amounts of standing timber (they didn't finish logging the reservoir before they flooded it. They cut the trees in the rest of during the winter ice-in at the ice level. . So it's an underwater forest now). Navarre Fishing out of Florida makes a plug which fits the hole and keeps the yak drier particularly in choppy water. PS. I like your straightforward enthusiastic presentations.

Both solid options also. Love Vibe. Gotta make another round for the other options out there.
A lot of people are complaining that it doesnt get there or having problem with shipping. when u complain and want to review to let people know about the experience they don't post bad reviews. So people have to 5 star and post the real review. I want to get an old town but too much money for me to get scammed
You had me at “Meat Patty.” Lol
I really question the Vanhunks capacity. That’s an awfully light kayak to be boasting that kind of weight rating. My favorite on this list is the Big Fish 108. An absolute unit of a kayak. Nice breakdown my guy!🤘🏼 thanks for the shoutout 🎉

Yeah I may have to put it to the test I have an elite pro angler and absolutely love it. I'm 200 lb and I had 70 lb worth of gear last weekend doing a 20-mile Brazos River camping trip and the hull floated it perfectly didn't even feel the weight. The vanhunks elite pro angler is a great kayak, and I'm coming from a feel free Dorado. It's fast stable and has a great turning radius
Beside being good kayaks which one actually has a great customer service that actually helps
Just curious where the Feelfree Lure 11.5 v2 w/ Overdrive would fit in?
@BeardedDadFishing
10 ай бұрын
Feelfree makes some great yaks. I’d definitely say they’re worth a look!
Which one is best for fishing on the open ocean and exposed bays? I guess I am asking which has the best combination of balance and speed? I did not enjoy paddling for 45 minutes straight against the outgoing tide and almost getting sent out to the Channel Islands🤣

Just wait my brother. I just bought a yak today gotta go finish paying and load er up first but ill post pics. Pedal power added. 11' 6" 425 lb cap. Stsnd up n fish. Added a lean on bar for comfort while standing. Big fat keel wheel. Electronics pod. De-luxe seat. So much more. Boat with added stand up bar $999. Add pedal drive( pdl style drive) $1000. . they are going to give me a little bit more if a break after negotiating some in am. I went for the yak and couldn't pass up ordering the compatible drive kit which comes with a rudder system and steering system all for the price of $1k........ Way less than $2500 and will be a Complete outfit once i add my electronics.......... Bad Assery let me tell you And show you..... Real soon. Busy busy..

I've been considering the Impulse 120pdl and it's nice to hear that you like it. That is at the top of my list because that price range is about what I can afford without selling my Jon boat. Somewhat limited in selection because I'm on the large side so the Impulse ticks off both issues.
