- I have decided to finally start fishing in a kayak! Being able to access new waters few people are able to fish is certainly appealing. As a beginner to kayaks I definitely have a positive review for this kayak so far! It’s first trip we were able to put the first few fish in the boat. If there are any recommendations for customization or life vests please comment below!

I have same kayak...I put 3/4 inch rubber cane tips on the seat posts...works great 4 pack on Amazon is 6.99
I did that too and it makes a huge difference. Seat is real solid with those cane tips on there
I bought mine over the winter because it was a lot cheaper at the time (20% off on Amazon). Even at the full price of $800 I think this thing is a great deal when you consider that right now most angler kayaks are going to be around $400-450 on average. Maybe you could find one for $350 if you're lucky, but they're usually more. They may be around 10 lbs lighter, but also several inches narrower and can hold much less weight. I think the 110 is the absolute best bang for your buck available and there's so much room to add to it. An anchor/gripper is always good. A quality net. I'd also suggest a rod holder on a track mount. I plan on getting a fish finder for mine this week (mainly for depth/structure), but all-in-all this thing is great because you can either use it as is or modify it how you like relatively easily. Oh, and as others mentioned: 3/4 rubber leg tips are perfect to keep it snug as a bug.
I won mine brand new from an auction for $180 🤑🤑
@@BOZZALLINI you win haha. Even if it was a bare bones basic kayak that's still an amazing deal
@Do0msday yea it came with no paddle and skeg plate was broke but who cares...lol...ordered both..trolling motor,fish finder and all accessories..built pwm speed controller and still have less money in it than if I was to buy a new one from store
I have a NRS CHINOOK PFD it's amazing along as it is USCG certified u should be good get the brightest one u can and a whistle or small air horn and tie down anything u don't want lost but u can do a TON to thus kayak
I have read lots of good things about the NRS life jackets. I am debating over the Chinook vs. Raku.
right on
I have the same one but have not been on the water yet. Soon I hope as the water is warming up. You can get some plastic chair bases to put on the seat to keep it from moving around. Thanks for sharing!
Good luck! I love the kayak so far!
I put a 55lb thrust Newport vessel on mine and it pulls me around like 4x4. I would recommend an anchor trolley set up, and a couple pad eyes. Maybe a tow rope as well
With a 55 nothing can stop you 😂 I am hesitant to putting holes into the kayak, but will definitely have to look into the anchor trolly. Thanks for the recommendation!
I put outriggers on mine in the back that fold up when paddling. Standing up and fishing feels as though you can't tip it over.
Cool idea!
look into getting an anchor trolly helps a lot to hold you in place in wind thanks
Will definitely look into this. Thanks for the recommendation!
Buy a 360 ergo seat that swivels with the tracks
Didn’t know pelican made those. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for the video …What kind of rod & reel are you using ?
It is a Curado DC 6.2:1 and a Dobyns Fury 7’ 0” MH fast. The rod is lighter action than a normal MH, so it’s my favorite for minimax chatterbaits and smaller crankbaits.
I just got the same one the other day. I’m trying to figure out if the part that comes on it for the skeg is supposed to go on there with the trolling motor attachment or if that completely rids of the skeg when you get the trolling motor or there🤷♂️
I am not 100% sure, but from what I have seen online it’s kinda one or the other.
I have the Kayak with the skeg and its a completely different back bracket then the one for the motor. So one or the other.
need a high back life jacket lets you sit back more comfortably
Agreed! I never would have guessed how annoying it was pulling the lifejacket down from riding up every 15 mins. Any recommendations on a brand?
@@608fishing I'm partial to the Onyx kayak fishing life jacket. It may feel a little 'bulky' at first, but once it forms to you it's comfier. The foam on the back is higher up so it's better for a seat.
@@Do0msday Way cheaper than an NRS too, I’ll have to do a little research before picking. Thanks for the recommendation.
