I'm a Jackson Koosa guy. I love it. The sling seat is a game changer. I can fish for hours and not have to get out and stretch. Takes some practice but you can stand and fish which is awesome. You have a GREAT set up there I have a Lot of the same features retried onto mine. Sweet ride dude. Love your content.

Best boat out there! Awesome set up! thanks for sharing!

So, I m about to pull the trigger on getting a Nucanoe Ultimate. I like how versatile it seems. I too do mostly catfishing, and loved your set up. If I start publishing my video, maybe you will see some of your experiences passed on.

Nice setup really like the swivel seat

I hope to run into next summer. I bought a bonafide ss127 and I plan on flathead fishing and camping along the river banks. The only problem I have right now is where to park my truck without anyone messing with it or getting towed. I also bought the FML(?) Whisker seeker 9'6" poles matched with abu 7000 c3 catfish special.

Great video as always! Thanks for posting, I’m always looking for ideas from other folks. I’m very interested in the Flint, have you ever fished/paddled one? If so, how is the stability and comfort compared to the Frontier?

@RiverCertified

I paddled one last year on a pond, not a river or in any chop. I was able to stand up pretty easily. With that said, it is nowhere near as stable as the Frontier, but few kayaks are. It is a great kayak overall though. Glad you liked the video!

great set up. Id like to see a video on how you transport and move that kayak around

It turns easily and super maneuverable. Great river boat. It doesn't track as well as your prowler but it is only 12 feet long. The seat is really comfortable, plus it's on a standard boat seat base so you can replace it if you want. Thanks for watching!
