[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

Clever on the lip to keep the clamp from popping off. Excellent setup.

[@abidefishing]

Necessity is the mother of invention.

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

Thanks for the walk through. Very thorough. That side scan is game changer once you figure it out.

[@tonycook6748]

Good ideas on your yak helps me on mine keep the shows coming FISH ON

[@abidefishing]

That’s what people keep telling me, but I must be a slow learner. I’m pretty good at reading the down sonar, but I can’t make heads or tails of the side.

[@abidefishing]

@@tonycook6748 - It’s like the show “Pimp my Ride” but with kayaks. Haha.

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

@@abidefishing Check out Fishthemoment KZbin channel. Maybe he can learn you something.

[@jaysworld126]

Now you have to show us how you load the beast. Great job. Nice setup.

[@abidefishing]

That’s pretty simple: put the wheels on, roll it to the bed of the truck, lift the back onto the tailgate, walk to the front of the boat where the wheels are, pick that side up, and slide it into the bed.

[@cindyschnell]

@@abidefishing yeah with them boonedox wheels it makes it really easy to load a big kayak my kayak is over 100 pounds and having them wheels makes it a breeze for this little shit (4.11) person to load this kayak into her truck

[@stuchumney]

GREAT REVIEW and thanks for sharing your creative work!

[@abidefishing]

Sure thing. Hopefully someone can find it useful.

[@mackjenkins7721]

Hey buddy how's it going .That was a cool video buddy. Always wondered what kind of kayak you had & it's awesome that you went through to show how you have it setup. Merry Christmas to you & your family buddy. How was your Christmas was Santa Claus good to you. Santa Claus was really really good to me. He got one of the most important things I really need in life & that a pair of shoes that was special custom made very extremely wide in the toe box for my very extremely wide Toes that I have that are equally straight across.

[@abidefishing]

It’s a Christmas miracle! I know you’ve been trying to get those for awhile. That’s great.

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@abidefishing yes I have and I finally got a pair. Like right now it is so awesome standing at the fuel pump putting fuel in my truck 🚛 parking my truck 🚛 and walking from the truck 🚛 to the truck stop and back in 38 degree temperature and my toes are warm and my feet are not hurting me is so awesome. & with the toe box being extra wide for my toes & they are not crushing or hurting me it's just so awesome. I remember when shoes used to crush and hurt my toes is why I hated shoes for so long & now I finally got a pair that fits my very extremely wide feet so comfortable. Thank you buddy I appreciate that thank you. Even the general manager couldn't believe how wide my foot was , how Fat my toes were , and how straight across my toes were.

[@cindyschnell]

Great set up on your kayak and I'm with you all the way with them boonedox I have them on my native and when I get my P127 bonafide I will be putting the boonedox on it. Hope you had a great Christmas

[@abidefishing]

It’s a game changer, for sure. And I did-my Christmas was awesome. Hope you had a merry one as well!

[@gerrybrown8723]

Great video as always. Hope you had a great Christmas!

[@abidefishing]

I did. Hopefully yours was awesome as well.

[@mattybassfishing]

Kinda a dumb question but how do you charge you 12v batteries?

[@abidefishing]

Not a dumb question at all. I take them out of the boat and put them on a charger. One is a Battery Tender brand charger. The other came with the Lithium battery. I’m actually working on a video where I go over my tackle organization system and it includes my charging station information. Full disclosure: I don’t know when it’ll be finished, so just stay tuned.

[@srsykes49]

Duct tape......the handyman's secret weapon LOL 👍👍

[@abidefishing]

It’s not a beauty contest. I just need something that works! Haha.

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

It's like they say "If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, use WD40. If it's not supposed to move and it is moving, use duct tape."

[@srsykes49]

@@abidefishing Hope you know I wasn't laughing at you......but laughing with you. Nice set-up on your kayak. Good job with the video. Look up Red Green on KZbin for all sorts of hilarious tips on using duct tape.

[@abidefishing]

@@srsykes49 - of course I knew you were joking. And you can get some great ideas from Red Green.

[@skeeterguyfishing]

Great video and setup. Where can I buy the V Max battery with the USB ports? I’m hauling lead when I use my motor. I want to lose some weight. Thanks.

[@abidefishing]

I just did a Google search, but I believe you can buy them directly from their website: www.vmaxtanks.com

[@FishNTrips1]

Nice. Dya still have your Native ?

[@abidefishing]

I do. I use the Native on most of my flat water adventures, but I use this one when I’m fishing my local river that is really rocky and has strong currents.

[@FishNTrips1]

@@abidefishing good to know the best time to use them.

[@dssals17]

Why the zip ties on rod holders to wheel bar?

[@abidefishing]

If I’m trolling, the lines are behind me rather than straight down. What happens is if I get a big bite, the holders will want to twist. So I put those zip ties on there to: 1. Keep the rod holders from spinning, but also 2. They’ll break away if needed. If I’m using heavy braid, I don’t want to get snagged on something and have the boat go sideways when I’m in current. This is rigid enough that it’ll set a hook, but not so stout that it could flip me.
