BEST paddle Fishing Kayak Ever? Bonafide XTR 130 Real Water Test

[@southernsouloutdoors]

I’ve been waiting on you to do this review!

[@FishingFloridaWithKO]

I want to see your review with the motor. NK3000 in the back.. Minn Kota trolling motor 55lb thrust with spot lock in the front. That's the perfect set up for real fishing!

[@AliexFolgueira]

heck yeah!!!! I would love to do that!

[@fisherfolk777]

I’m getting mine this week. Wit both motors

[@bradreid6057]

Aliex, by far its most important asset is its 360° swiveling seat. Who among us hasn't been out on a kayak only to hear the fish action blow up behind us? And for a paddle kayak in even light wind or current, they can be hard to keep pointed in a desired direction. Here, one could prolong time and exposure to a desired target, say working a dock, by just rotating to face it as the kayak moves. Nice review as usual.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Thank you, the 360 seat here is epic because the boat is so stable you spin from one side to the other without worries

[@lowlifeangler]

It's a paddle bass boat lol Slap a Newport NK300 /Amped battery on it and take it to a fishing trip to Cuba and back. Heck Yeah! Always awesome video content! Thank you

[@AliexFolgueira]

Haha 😂 maybe Bimini?

[@AliexFolgueira]

I was not out of breath due to the paddling, I was out of breath because of the damn humidity lol 😂

I like to see how it does on the ocean with some chops.

[@BobBohner4851]

When you’re paddling it looks like you feel like it’s a barge

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@BobBohner4851 not gonna win any race but you can in fact paddle it, cruises nicely at 2_2.5 mph

[@mannyortega9667]

@aliexfolgueira Which would be your pick for a fishing set up the titan 12.5 the xtr 130 or the wilderness tactical 128?

[@BobBohner4851]

@@mannyortega9667 don’t know. Haven’t paddle either

[@fisherfolk777]

@@mannyortega9667had the titan x for months now and trading for xtr. Pedal is great and all but heavy n don’t use if have motors

[@minxlabrada]

I have a 4hp outboard short-shaft that would be perfect for that.

[@AliexFolgueira]

yeah I was thinking if you make a mount that covers the middle 4 1/4in inserts and extends to the two rear handles on each side, you can mount a 5HP, now DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! LOL

[@juanmjuarez3563]

I wanna see it with a trolling motor and or something to propel it.

[@AliexFolgueira]

[@andrewilliams1518]

[@andrewilliams1518]

It look good I know its a fishing beast

[@charliepalmer2465]

Do you need the Ketch PWR 129 Bow Motor Mount ?

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@charliepalmer2465 you need a bow plate for sure not sure if ketch has one ready, but anything that takes the 1/4 pattern will work

[@Danxiong]

Will u be purchasing one?

[@AliexFolgueira]

Nah, I purchased the pwr 129 and lost money on it. Bonafide is wleocme to send me one if they like.

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Doesn't look more stable than a TitanX.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@doughodson5939 probably similar for sure

This kayak or titan x??

[@fromthetree3223]

I have to ask, what is wrong with fishing out of a canoe? Imagine not having to sit in a puddle all day, in a "boat" that is so hard to get through the water. I laugh out loud when I see well meaning folks waste thousands of dollars on watercraft that are not easily portable or fun to use.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@fromthetree3223 waste? Kayak fishing is so much fun, you can also rig it up with gps remote control motors on the bow and hands free foot control motors in the rear, you can easily transport them with a trailer or just get a lighter kayak. Sit on top kayaks are self bailing, super stable and super riggable. Nothing wrong with canoes I have fished off them, but not the right tool for the job in most cases.
