disappointed! Kayaks and Small Boats at Bass Pro

[@shred5]

Last time I was at Bass Pro, all they had for kayaks was Ascend and minimal accessories

[@AliexFolgueira]

Right! Yet in other states they have ton of other brands kayaks

[@morrning_group]

Wow, what an insightful tour of Bass Pro Shops and their kayaks! 🛶 It was fascinating to see the variety of boats and equipment they offer, and your commentary added a lot of humor and information to the video! 😄 Thank you for taking us along on this adventure and sharing your thoughts on each product. 🙏 Thank you so much for creating such engaging and informative content. Your attention to detail and honest opinions make your videos a joy to watch! 🌟 Can't wait to see more explorations and reviews from you in the future! 💬 Have you ever had any memorable experiences or funny anecdotes while using kayaks or small boats? It would be interesting to hear some of your personal stories related to water adventures! 🚣‍♂🌊

Yep, all nice stuff and some good tips on the reality of each purchase. It's insane to me that even a "fishing" kayak setup (trolling motor, storage accesories/graph/landing gear and or trailer) can easily be $5000-$7000. Yet, one still runs the risk of flipping it (much more than say a 14ft aluminum boat w/9 horse motor - also will get you out of a storm much faster ). Yet, financing say a $20,000 Tracker boat set-up (far from current high end models) for 7 or 10 years is multiples of insanity. I guess that's the American dream though. Kudos to those who can pay cash.

A Scheels recently opened in my area and I was pretty impressed with their kayak selection. They had pretty much all the big brands except Jackson. I don't live in an area with a lot of specialty kayak dealers and the few we do have only carry a couple brands so it was nice to finally be able see the boats in person. Scheels is a general sporting goods store like Dick's so I was surprised their lineup was so extensive.

[@imperialwhovian3461]

Yeah the scheels by myself is basically old town, hobie, and some native.

[@charlescurryfishing]

I love those tracker grizzleys. Want the 1648 with just a 50hp on it.

[@AliexFolgueira]

You love boat pain haha

[@kenz1031]

My local bass pro just started carrying old town autopilot

[@AliexFolgueira]

yesss, we went to a basspro in Nashville and they did as well

[@shawn3957]

If you’re a man and you don’t fish, I have questions. You should make that into merch.

[@AliexFolgueira]

we should! lol

[@rds990]

You should have to deal with Bass Pro senior management when they try to come into your town and open a store!!! It's unbelievable !!! That's all I have to say about Bass Pro.

[@RickHoffman777]

an outdoorsman, we wenty to thew lake with our $300 kayaks and watched the guys in their $75k+ bass boats leaving emptyhanded

[@AliexFolgueira]

Totally! Happens all the time

[@bChipps]

Tbh better than most I’ve been to. At least they keep the boats inside and not let them roast in the sun for who knows how long

[@lowlifeangler]

At $681 payment for 15yrs , I rather buy the Z21 and live out of a van down by the river. Smart decisions.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yup lol

[@lowlifeangler]

@@AliexFolgueira They had those boats and Phoenix boats at the Ohio Fishing Expo. Prices are unreal prices just to catch a fn bass lol 😂 I went to the Expo over 15 years ago, alot more kayak stuff in 2024 now

[@FernandoVblog]

"Alex, today I bought a Hobie Island Adventure. Can you tell me where I can launch it to try it out? I live in Palmetto Bay near Kendall. Thanks."

[@AliexFolgueira]

to take your time and do it right, go to biscayne national park first, a bit of a drive but you will have time to lunch, also try Matheson park

[@FernandoVblog]

@@AliexFolgueira Thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@TexasPapa13]

I’d take that pro skiff off shore. I used to take my soloskiff offshore pretty regularly.

[@AliexFolgueira]

not the same, that skiff will destroy your behind haha 😆

[@TexasPapa13]

@@AliexFolgueira luckily I had a comfy swivel boat seat so on my solo lol.

[@griffithandy2950]

America number 1 baby!!!! Thank you for the videos brother!!!

[@AliexFolgueira]

Thank you 😊

[@NiteWolfeFishing]

My old sundolphin boss 12 has the same issue with water collecting in the tank well, My scuppers are up under the seat.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yeah man I think they never put these things on the water before mass producing them

[@NiteWolfeFishing]

@@AliexFolgueira Yep, it kind of says it in the name of the area tank well, something that even sounds like hey this area is going to hold water... Maybe we should have a good way for it to drain lol. Iam glad to know the 133x has this issue also.. It was on my short list.

[@BottomLineBassin2]

Same . I saw a better selection at Tractor Supply. I don't know what's going on with BPS.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yeah it is weird 😕 they should have more stuff

[@TWC6724]

Hmm, that Tracker is tempting though. I can keep it simple 😎

[@AliexFolgueira]

Go for it!

[@X_Hale]

Academy and tractor supply next?

[@AliexFolgueira]

Great suggestion! Academy today!

[@X_Hale]

@@AliexFolgueira Tractor supply has a unique LifeTime Pro in Safari Fusion color just bought one!

[@michaelsnively3621]

Less options and higher prices....welcome to the new normal. Cant wait until the next lockdown.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yup

[@stephengreen9540]

happy friday

[@AliexFolgueira]

happy weekend 😃

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

You can spend around $4,000 on a 'Yak, but then have to spend another $5,000 getting it "Up-To-Snuff" (Heck, good electronics are gonna cost ya nearly $4,000 just by themselves!). Lol After everything is added, it gets crazy Heavy (then ya gotta buy a trailer for the darn thing!). So... a "Decent" kayak set-up is going to cost you way over $10,000...! Haha!.

[@AliexFolgueira]

but you can just have a paddle kayak with a bixpy and call it a day

[@imperialwhovian3461]

Or just don't use electronics, been fishing with no electronics for years and I still do well, just because someone else has 6k in electronics on their kayak doesn't mean you have to. As for a trailer look for a used one and fix it up, I got one for dirt cheap and just had to spend some time cleaning it up and fixing wiring now it looks great

[@TexasPapa13]

Men who don’t fish don’t like to touch fish cuz they’re icky

[@AliexFolgueira]

lol

[@TRu44-560]

I fish, fish , and women, and did I mention fish 🐟 😂😂😂

[@AliexFolgueira]

lol

[@lazerithlazerith4012]

Bass pro in the last 2 or 3 years has been going downhill. I do not expect them to last much longer. At least in my area and i am in a major fishing hub. like 4 lakes right next to me all have bass masters tournaments for year and years. Caddo lake being one of them. and red river. And all the lakes close to me are packed almost every day.o Bass pro just does have anything special I need or want the have lost there niche. Amazon killed that and Walmart does the rest. they became a clothing store with some fishing supply's and big boats. It is stupid

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yup they learned all the bad lessons from covid, it hasn't been the same since

[@lowlifeangler]

Ascend kayaks are poor designed , thin out the wall thickness to save money, and overpriced

[@AliexFolgueira]

I can't disagree

[@lowlifeangler]

@@AliexFolgueira My cheap Lifetime Tamarack pro is holding strong. Waiting till the fall to pick up a Native propel. Thank you for the video! That's definitely your kid with ya
