Bass Pro Shops Pond Prowler 8 Full Review: Worth The Buy?

[@SteveWaide19]

I have the 10’ version and love it. Your videos have given me some ideas on how I want mine setup. Thank you for the awesome content. Tight lines!

[@brethrenjay5987]

I ended up going with the 10ft and I can certainly say I do not regret it at all! It definitely isn’t the best wind resistant boat but it will get you where you need to be, when you want to be there. Great video!!

[@humbugvideos]

The 10 looks awesome! Also, I’d check out my rudder build video, that thing has decreased my drifting in wind by over half.

[@brethrenjay5987]

@@humbugvideos I’m in the process of making mine! Just need a couple more things and have been too lazy to get them lol

[@jeffreysamartino8238]

Just bought my second one me and my son use it every weekend got the boat for 670 at dicks bought a minn koto 30 lbs of thrist trollin motor and a Walmart deepcycle for 90 bucks picked up a cheap ore just in case under a grand total and we love it out in all day long we hit all different lakes does need more motor though should of bought the bigger minn koto but other then that it’s perfect I put it in the bed of my truck with a rachet strap and we’re gone

[@02nightowl]

i just rebuilt my 1997 suzuki carry kei truck with a custom cage over the bed for a kayak and ive been looking into small platform kayaks when i found this boat, it looked perfect for what i enjoy doing (small lake/river bottom fishing) im glad i found ur video going over a lot of information that i couldnt get from the selling site cause its convinced me to get it :D

[@humbugvideos]

Small lakes are perfect! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏽

[@williamhead5105]

I used to car top my 10ft pelican bass raider and it was kind of a bear, but videos of these 8ft boats make me want to consider one again! : )

[@JD-bu7vt]

I had the same boat. Loved it but wasn't enough room to fish with another person happily 😂 so I just got into a bass raider 10E.

[@humbugvideos]

Smart choice. If I fished more regularly with 2 people I would’ve made the switch too, but I’m usually solo boating it cause of filming videos. Works for the occasional 2 person trip

[@ricodog3652]

I’d buy one if I had my own pond but a kayak suits me better.

[@stevegunn9971]

Excellent review! Thanks! So far, this one is at the top of my list.

[@johnw2123]

Nice vids buddy. Do you think my 5hp propane Tohatsu can be supported with the 8 or would I need the 10. Thanks So much.

[@humbugvideos]

You should be fine! Just don’t full throttle it lol

[@M.G.Fishing93]

When i go solo, i take my kayak. But if I am taking someone else, i end up hauling two kayaks, which is good and all, but when they need help, it can be tricky helping from my own kayak. I think a setup like this would be great if i go with someone that is much less experienced or i an going with someone that needs more help.

[@johnw2123]

Sorry to bother ya again buddy. What is the name of the sealer you talked about to seal the prowler 8 ? If you send me a link to help you out I'll be Glad to do it through you.

[@humbugvideos]

Totally Fine! Here's the link, appreciate it! Marine Sealant: amzn.to/3oD1fut

[@randyk2904]

Nice Nice Nice … Awesome work. Great review

[@carpman_here8133]

Great job. Need to upgrade you on a vehicle. Lol. You do you and I know you love what you do.

[@humbugvideos]

I’ll get a truck one day, but it’s hard to argue against almost 30 mpg lol

[@dwayneivie3350]

like the video today, be glade went get back on some trout again, but i,l keep on watching

[@humbugvideos]

I’ve been struggling a bit for big trout lately, so I’m waiting for the weather to cool off and bring some fish up shallower. I have some awesome trips planned for fall. Appreciate the patience!

[@brandonturner9651]

What about creeks? How high does it set up in water? How shallow will it run

[@humbugvideos]

I’m gonna be testing that this fall! I can run it in a couple feet of water no problem

[@1zzKolby]

Do they make a trailer for this?

[@humbugvideos]

Not in store, but most small trailer would fit this easily

[@MikeG02061]

Nice video man

[@elpatron3862]

Hey do u use the trolling motor and fish finder on the same battery or u have two?

[@humbugvideos]

2 different batteries! Check out my pond prowler playlist, all the video explanations are there

[@oakland002]

By the time you’re spending $1,500-3,000 you can get a good fishing boat !

[@humbugvideos]

What do you consider a "good" fishing boat tho? Just curious

[@NCR_Colonel]

Bought those rod holders and it’s too big for the tubing. Did you add anything to make them fit?

[@humbugvideos]

Which ones were they, the hitorhike ones that mount to the side railings or the Scotty ones that attach to a side mount?

[@NCR_Colonel]

@@humbugvideos the side rail ones.

[@humbugvideos]

@@NCR_Colonel ahh ok. I added some electrical tape to thicker up the rail

[@NCR_Colonel]

@@humbugvideos okay! Thank you for replying! Also any recommendations for screws to use for the Scotty side mounts?

[@humbugvideos]

@@NCR_Colonel it should come with them upon ordering! I used the stock ones👍🏽

[@donswearingen9805]

That chair? Where'd you get it?

[@humbugvideos]

The chair comes with the boat!

[@johnw2123]

I didn't see a link for the boat> Can it go through you also?

[@humbugvideos]

Nope, cause it’s from bass pro shops! Appreciate it tho, any Amazon shopping you do through my links really helps me out👍🏽

[@codyakfishing8856]

How does it do from wake from other boats.....?

[@humbugvideos]

For the most part it does ok…if u take it on head first it will slosh water over the top, if u roll from the side it becomes unstable. Pick your poison I guess!

[@codyakfishing8856]

Lol nice, I may pick one up tomorrow second hand for 200$

[@humbugvideos]

@@codyakfishing8856 check it for holes, but if it’s all good then that’s a steal!

[@codyakfishing8856]

@@humbugvideos owner claims there's no holes, if there was, I'd plastic weld them up... I plan to fish a large reservoir with it, just me

[@dasshape00]

Im gttinh the 10

[@JD-bu7vt]

You won't regret it. I had this exact same boat. Although I loved the boat it wasn't fun with 2 ppl. The two extra feet really make a difference

[@dasshape00]

@JD-bu7vt what's crazy is this is my wife's idea yo get a small boat... she don't have yo tell me twice. Lol

Bro has the same voice as the guy in berm peak express
