The frontier 12 is an awesome kayak for smaller lakes, ponds, and rivers. Especially for a big fella like myself. Although slower to paddle, I purchased it for its incredible stability . I can drift at a great pace while fishing . Not too fast, not too slow. I also have a minkota bow mounted trolling motor with i-pilot, which is an absolute game changer! Even though i fish mostly on smaller bodies of water in upstate NY, fishing the finger lakes, Lake ontario, and the Saint lawrence River has not been an issue at all. I do tend to stay closer to the shoreline on the bigger bodies of water. The wind can pick up in a hurry on the bigger lakes.

I have a Flint with 360. Love that seat. Wifey's Pelican we bought for $300 at Costco (thermo formed) came off the top of my camper shell going 25 mph, rocketed off a cliff and down through trees. I got it back on the road and it had one little scuff. No leaks.

With a hull that tough please consider joining a paid river tour at Snail Shell Cave in Tennessee. I walked, waded, and swam it before taking that paid adventure. I used an Ocean Kayak Frenzy Model to go there and also see Nickajack Cave.

As always, great video and great content.

I have an older Frontier 12. Paddle only bit duck hunt rivers in winter, small mouth in summer on class I and II rivers and even fish with my son in Chesapeake Bay. Its stable as heckler and great platform. Love open deck for fly fishing. Nice niche boat but dreaming of a PA14 for the bay.

I’m guessing you may be in the DMV right? I’m looking at this for the Shenandoah river and local lakes. Would you recommend?

I have the NuCanoe Unlimited with a Minn Kota Ipilot. I fish and crab the Puget Sound with it. Also great for lakes. With the I Pilot, Fish Finder and a downrigger, it’s a fishing machine! Super stable!

That's right! you got a dream setup right there

I have a Frontier 12 Nucanoe, I use it for duck hunting. I have thought about the Fronteir 10, maybe it would be a bit faster to paddle. Think I could fit my decoys, do and me. I paddle on my kneew and dont use seats

I have two Nucanoes. An F12 with an Nk180s and a Flint as more of a throw and go paddle kayak. Both awesome and super stable.

A kayak shop owber that doesnt know the difference between thermoformed and blow molding.... A Hobie dealer that doesnt know the Passport and Outback are made of the same material, polyethylene. The reason Thermoformed kayaks are cheaper is the through put is much quicker.

I'd go with the catch. Isn't the catch two piece thermo formed? Which is actually very durable compared to blow molded?

Rotomolded kayaks can be very durable. My opinion, NuCanoe is the worst when it comes to the higher end kayaks. Grab a NuCanoe then grab ahold of a wilderness systems, or a Jackson or pretty much any other kayak in that range. Then tell me the NuCanoe feels as solid.

Still might visit Iron Street but when released from the city hospital I was gifted with a pair of yellow kayaks. Absolutely nothing like Nu- canoe. Both outfitted to share cave exploration inside your county and British Columbia. Two because it is known I will cut up one of a pair of hulls of the same model. To weld hull material over serious impact damage. Like, rock fall or hull impalement on a stalagmite. Have a nice day.

I went on to explain more. He asked what I did for a living. I then told him Im a mechanical engineer in manufacturing. He got quiet and walked away.

Well I was coming into the video thinking you was gonna point out why everyone hates kayaks and in fact you showed why everyone likes kayaks and their still booming better then ever. So I say it works great 👍🏻

NuCanoe is just higher quality, period. My first yak was a Pelican Tidewater 100x - they make the cheapest available functional stuff. That NuCanoe is solid. Do you have a contract with pelican or something? You seem to be working hard to not be mean to pelican by telling the truth about the material/manufacturing differences and the quality of the final product. Pelicans have their value, but they do not belong in the same genre as a NuCanoe - NuCanoe is top of the line, proven for decades. Your argument against rotomolding is basically "what about this 1 specific example?" It's a higher quality end product. The older guy knows his stuff edit: figured I'd add this - I've been in a Radar 115 w/Helix drive for about 5 years now. Pelican made complete garbage prior to the Ride, which is actually not bad for a kid or someone who isn't really serious about fishing hard. For me, the $1,800 I spent on a pedal drive and super-stable kayak was justified. It depends on the individual what level of quality is worth spending for - you can catch fish off a piece of plywood with floats attached - just get, or make, what is best for your personal use scenario.
