    How do you like this vs the paddle only version? I’m thinking of the paddle version just due to the price being much cheaper, but I’m worried it will be a pain to paddle while fighting currents and trying to fish.

    Hey Alex, love your vids. Do you think I could get that on top of a Toyota fj cruiser? I had a predator pdl on a trailer. Got rid of it because it was too big too heavy plus I needed the money for my 19 foot fishing boat purchase! I miss the simplicity of Kayak fishing and am looking hard at the 106 pdl.

    Aliex, with today's fishing kayaks, I can't see just paddling. I love my fin drive, and my motors. I still get my exercise because, we still paddle once and a while, use a pushpole, but paddling all day, or in tournaments, no way. My 1st motor was a $100 Minnkota 30 lb thrust trolling motor on my 1st kayak. 🌊🎣🛶
