The new XR is definitely a much better version of the 360 than what initially came out. I'm still sticking with the 180 because I'm hard on my gear but I would feel comfortable going 360 now as well. Good luck with the motor, you're going to love it!

@danielperryfishing3046 good to know, thanks!

@@GalaxyRods sold it a year ago

That trailer was made specifically for kayaks. So you're wrong.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. You might would lose the flex of the struts and have permanent holes in your trailer.

@@billbob670 Sorry I sold it a while back. I have posted in another comment that I would go with the larger pvc. But besides that it worked fine.

I'm starting a similar build on a Harbor Freight trailer and for 2 kayaks. I've been mentally debating between the 3" and 4". Can you advise me on why you are switching to the larger pipe?

@@TomGregory-n7t The smaller ones worked but had a little too much flex. You could get away with them but if I had to do it again I would have went with the larger ones.

I believe it's called a PP45 Adapter.

@@danielperryfishing3046 thanks

Here is the update post I made a year ago. Not sure if you saw it. - UPDATE There are four original screws that go into the hull that hold down the steering plate. In the video I removed the two in rear and used longer ones to hold down the YakGadget plate. I have since went back to original Hobie screws. Reason being the two screws towards the front have brass inserts and two rear ones do not.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

Man, I honestly don't remember. It wasn't for any particular reason though.

Hmm, may just be a difference in what senkos we use. I throw the XZone True Center Stick. Maybe it's a little narrower.

Yea, I understand they want to cut down on weight, but double footed guides are worth the little bit of weight for the durability.

@@danielperryfishing3046 agree

Just an option to add a power pole or whatever else you want to back there. It was the same price as a single so I went ahead and got it in case I wanted to add something later. I've see people mount their lights back there too.

Oh for sure. I have been thinking of different uses since I posted the video. Like a floating worm around the spawn, it’s perfect for that. The VMC Crossover ring does three things. 1. It saves some worms from getting destroyed. 2. I allows you to run a smaller hook because you’re not losing some of the hook bite inside the worm plastic because it’s outside the worm. 3. The worm being rigged perpendicular to the worm rather than along with it like a traditional o-ring is an obviously superior way to rig it and increases hookup ratio. Give them a shot and let me know what you think. I swear by them.

Sorry, I reread your comment and realized you were talking about the ringed hook and not the band. I think they're bigger up north but I saw Seth Fider using them in a video. Seems like they give the bait a little more action and the fish a little less leverage. I guess why no use them you know?

@@danielperryfishing3046 don’t worry about it. I’ve been curious about those bands since they came out but no one seems to carry them other than online stores. I like that you can carry them in the tool.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that!

It's held up perfectly with zero issues. It's absolutely rock solid and made to last. No, I haven't added a power pole. Maybe one day though.

For jerkbaits it will need to be line + split ring + jerkbait. My cranks are line + speed clip + jerbait. Hopefully that makes sense.

23.5” in kayak fishing we use length, not weight. It was probably 8lbs.

@@cometftw3488 Ha, no problem. Believe me, if it were 23lbs I would have been losing my mind lol.

I have their 7'6" spinning rod. They're super light rods for sure but you'll be giving up durability for the weight. That's what I was told by the Phenix salesman.

If you can swing the extra $50 I’d say go with the expert. There is a bigger difference between the Lowrider to expert than there is expert to Cara. From what you said you want the 6’11” Bayou. It’s their frog rod. The 6’10” head turner is a little more of a moderate action.

@@danielperryfishing3046 appreciate the Info brotha yea myswell cough up the extra 50 it was more a matter getting the right action da da but thanks for clarifying cuz I actually think there's 2 6 11 1s eye crosser or something but the bayou excuses typo I'm flunky,diff sounds like the move if its bit more beefy I heard of it, but I assumed it would be a bigger I actually had it backwards you would think the head Turner be stiffer sounds like a square bill rod however I do want it be little moderate not sloppy though like snappy, I'll trust your expertise but u sound like u Understand was trying say hard to articulate lol, I'll never buy gloomis again there getting disgustingly expensive but nrx action was magical like modfast tip super extra fast taper like got In bk bone asap really regretted selling that mug practically stole it for 365 r something but I think I'm dig falcon, all biz what's under hood type company seem have excellent customer service to they sound like stright shooters its comical seeing a lews r some off brand company charging 350 every1 thinks there megabass now its getting out of hand out here now I'm contemplating spending the extra extra 50 on the expert lol

8/0 Owner flashy swimmer. I just remove the blade when I don’t want it.

@@danielperryfishing3046 awesome and thanks for the fast response. I’m going fishing in a trophy lake in about 2 weeks and I’m hoping this bait will work.

@@cross_fire_ Yea man, these and the mag draft freestyle are hard to beat.

thin pvc like this has some give and shapes to the kayaks hull, it won’t warp your kayak hull unless you strap it down tight as shit and store it in an oven 😂

I keep my AP120 on these same exact bunks full time with no issues.

@@sambageian PVC comes in different Schedules, 40 and 80 are the 2 primary, with some thin-wall tossed in. The thin stuff ( I THINK it's Sched 20) will probably get a bit warped and maybe brittle. Not sure. But, I wouldn't trust it. Sched 40 is what 99% of houses with PVC have. Sched 80 is thick and rigid. Then, there is the electrical ENT pipe that I've seen some folks use. Right now, I'm leaning towards Sched 40 for the buiid I'm getting ready to do.
