Fishing Kayaks Under $1500 - Affordable and Budget Friendly

[@HuntinFinsOutdoors]

Great Video Jay! I bought the Old Town Sportsman 106 paddle version last year and haven't looked back. I absolutely love it! The quality of the fit and finish are second to none IMO.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Awesome brother!

[@basskayakandbeers893]

Great video Jay!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks Armando! Appreciate you bro!

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Great video bro! I’m still running a Vibe Sea Ghost 110 and I’ll say the rudder that comes on it from the factory is by far the best part about it. Having a rudder on a paddle kayak makes such a world of difference.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714 100%! Being able to accurately drift and direct your heading is next level!

[@granvillej3316]

Jay awesome video as always there are some great kayak choices I was actually looking at vibe ghost 130! Thank you for the shoutout brother I can’t wait to start fishing here and working on catching those king fish to get accepted on the bearded dad fishing team at the knucklehead series! That’s my 1# goal this year Jay let’s go tight lines take care and God bless!❤❤

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks for watching Granville! We def gotta get some fishing time in! Vibe is good, but I’ve heard the sea ghost has some stability issues. For whatever it’s worth 🤷🏽‍♂️ Appreciate you man!

I got my Old Town 106pdl for 50 percent off at Scheels last summer. Under $1500 out the door! Felt like a big win.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@JohnLovesToFish that’s a steal!

[@urbanfishingtv]

Some good options here!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@urbanfishingtv thanks brother! 🙏🏽

The 3 waters looks good on paper but that thing is HUGE in person. Its more on par with a $650 Prowler 12' Jon Boat. Which is a better option than the 3 waters in my opinion if your looking to deal with that size and weight. I personally two Feel free moken 10 PDL’s standing is not an issue, one with bixpy angler motor kit from Eco fishing. Side note one of Eco fishings warehouses is just a few miles from my house. Wonderfull people to work with and have allowed me pickup orders with in hour of placing orders on more than one occasion. They’ve been able to answer any questions Ive had prier to placing orders about product availability and product accessory’s/ mounting options. They’re quick to respond to emails.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@mumbles1justin I’ve only heard great things about EcoFishing! Glad you’ve had a great experience!

[@davidlewis9572]

Ya left out HooDoo kayak….great kayak

[@johnsponseller2492]

yeah what's every bodies hate for HooDoo Kayaks? i love mine and it was only $1200 , so i bought two.

[@davidlewis9572]

@ I’ve got Impulse 120 , no complaints, great customer service. I fish tournament all year in New Mexico. I’d buy another one

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I could only add so many! Glad yall are loving the hoodoo!

[@Elsenorbass]

Old town are one of the best kayak manufacturers 🎉

[@BeardedDadFishing]

💯💯💯

[@m14hh5]

Recon 120 for next year. I am going to hold on to my Radar 135 which I think is going to really move if I ever motorize it.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@m14hh5 awesome!

[@vasleygreen1346]

How about pelican PWR100??

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Heard some good things about that one too!

[@nottomgreen]

Yes the Old Town Sportsman 106 is $950 right now, but I would personally go for the 120 for an extra $50.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

You’re not wrong!

[@pcaravaca]

Hello Jay !! Big Fan from Costa Rica....got my first 10" yak and been following your channel for along time. Ty for all your videos. If you ever come down to Costa Rica hit me up and I will be more than honoured to take you on a jungle kayak fishing trip for Rainbow Bass, Snook , Tarpoon and others !

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thats awesome! Thanks for the love brother! Congrats on the new yak! Would love to make the trip sometime! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@BukLau-wn2cf]

Great video, do you have any insight on modular kayaks?

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks! Some people use them with success. If you have very tight storage and transportation constraints, check them out. Otherwise, they don't bring anything else to the table.

[@BukLau-wn2cf]

@BeardedDadFishing thanks!

[@BucktailFishing]

I’m on the lookout for a river yak and the sportsman 106 is on my radar. I’d like a U10 to compliment my Unlimited, but the deals on them aren’t as prevalent.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Slap an Nk180pro on that 106 and you’ve got a river machine

[@DarrinBoggs-jh1vp]

You should try a Flint. I got one new from a dealer that was clearing inventory for $700 out the door.

[@BucktailFishing]

@@BeardedDadFishing I’ve seen quite a few sub $1000 on marketplace. If I can find one with the MCO I could just swap the motor between rigs.

[@BucktailFishing]

@@DarrinBoggs-jh1vp flint is definitely on my radar. It would complement my Unlimited well!

[@Bl8z420]

I love my feel free moken 12.5 pdl that i paid 1280 shipped to my house

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I’ve heard good things about the moken 12.5 Pdl 💪🏽

[@Sledgefist1]

Not a single Ascend kayak in sight 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@Sledgefist1 these are just above entry level like I said in the video.

[@DarrinBoggs-jh1vp]

NuCanoe Flint > Frontier 10

[@BeardedDadFishing]

@@DarrinBoggs-jh1vp heard great things about it!
