Bonafide SS107 Fishability | How I Do It | Kayak Stand Up Fishing

[@jdurrant421]

Im on the fence with the ss107 and ss127. Still deciding if i want the longer kayak. Awesome video.

[@ReelOne]

Can't go wrong with either! Go check them out in person! Thanks for watching! I appreciate you.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Glad you're safe bro. I also hate when the wind just doesn't do what it should. I also have a TORQEEDO, and my fin drive. But constant 15 mph and the gusts are usually higher, I'm turning back. Or depending on the lake I'm on. I usually have protected coves to still enjoy the day. And if I'm in a tournament, I'll find somewhere well protected and give up my spot. Rather be on my kayaks another day. Or not flip and ruin a day, or accessories. 🙏 🌊 🎣

[@purpleprince3116]

Shame you stopped doing videos man I like you chill quiet when fishing to have us mentally feel as if we were there all those weirdos lojo Jon b all them are wack af hopefully you keep doing it bro

[@ReelOne]

I have a surprise for you then sir... keep an eye out. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you.

[@ReelOne]

Just dropped a new video! Thank you

[@jacobacosta210]

Great video. I just bought the same set up and can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@ReelOne]

Thanks Jacob! I appreciate it. You will really enjoy it! I transitioned to a pedal drive Hobie but already miss my Bonafide. Thanks for subscribing!

[@jacobacosta210]

Congratulations on the Hobie! Can’t wait until I can afford one lol. How did the c-tug hold up with the ss107? Thanks man.

[@ReelOne]

Perfectly! It's a must have. Dragging a loaded Yak isn't fun. Got mine used off CL.

[@charlesgreco6964]

really a nice video. fun to watch. Thank you.

[@ReelOne]

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

[@Larry77777]

Hey Reel One: Just found your channel today. Subbed. I have been bass fishing with my 10 foot WS Tarpon kayak for several years up in Canada where I live. Your Bonafide is a heavier beast (witness the tight editing you did at 1:07 haha) but wonderful to be able to stand up. Thanks for sharing the experience.

[@ReelOne]

Larry Thank You so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate it. Yes my Bonafide is on the heavier side but offers that stability. Also the ability to stand up and fish is a gamechanger. Being able to see fish and Bass on their beds and sight fish them is a great advantage. Thanks again Larry #TightLines

[@dirktucker77]

Does it actually weigh about 67 lbs like the website says? You can carry yourself? I've got a feelfree lure13.5 and it's 100 lbs.. I'm getting tired of the weight, even just getting the front up in the bed of my truck is killing my back, Haha

[@arts2725]

nice video and nice kayak!

[@ReelOne]

Thank you!

[@robertholmes1556]

Nice video. Like how you showed the C-Tug, and how you used it, to get to your fishing water. Im going to purchase a SS 107, and now a C-Tug to go along with it; so your video very helpful. Keep up the great videos, and hope your able to get on the water, as much as possible. Take Care

[@ReelOne]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheVonhammer]

Great video

[@darrylrichmond971]

Great video man, definitely thinking of getting that one.

[@ReelOne]

Appreciate you!

[@BILLYBOBSTUNES]

Man I love this video...I'm now a new subscriber.......great vids and look like a great Kayak for fishin too. Rock on man !!!!

[@susaetern]

Just stumbled upon your channel while watching reviews on the SS107. I'm sold. I'll pick one up next year in Spring. Also just subbed. Just found a lifetime fan in me.

[@ReelOne]

Thank you. I appreciate it man!

[@michaelperez9137]

Dude, I fished out of the SS107 for the past few months and absolutely loved it. But than I had a rare opportunity to make a straight up trade for an SS127, and man o man, it’s a night and day difference. One of the better decisions I have made as of lately lol

[@ReelOne]

Lol! I do a lot of lifting and dragging of my Yak. Really enjoy the size of the 107. Do you just appreciate the larger size? Thank you for commenting and subscribing! Appreciated.

[@michaelperez9137]

Reel One yeah, I’m up in Minnesota, so this time of year I go after bass and northern pike, so the bigger yak makes that a much nicer experience! Being able to stand up and wrestle with pike and big bass is my most favorite feature of this yak!

[@ReelOne]

@@michaelperez9137 Right on!

[@smarttowel1173]

man, i thought i was the only dude that is right handed but uses a left handed baitcaster lol

[@ReelOne]

Best way in my opinion! No switching hands 🙌

[@Hindukushsailing]

Dude great Idea with the highlights as a fast trailer. Nice your a good videographer keep it up man.

[@ReelOne]

I really appreciate it, thank you 🙏

[@juddi753]

Peace..great video, enjoyed viewing , seriously considering the Bonifid SS 10 ft. You have .

[@ferchofishing]

Awesome video man I was waiting on this from last time the stability looks really good on that ss107, nice catches man 👍🏻

[@ReelOne]

Thanks alot! 🤙🏾

[@gushess4644]

Great video man and nice catches, I would invest in a net so it’s easier to land fish

[@ReelOne]

I lost my net days prior and since have replaced it. Thank you for watching, appreciated!

[@thedookster4143]

Is that a Berkley Havoc Pit boss @5:52

[@ReelOne]

Its definitely that or the Change Up! Good eyes!

[@thedookster4143]

I Have another question of you could help out. Why the ss107 instead of the 127, I am having a struggle within to get the 127 and feel like the 107 is just as good. Any thoughts or opinions help. Buying one in the next couple days.

[@ReelOne]

@@thedookster4143 Im not sure what the real benefit is to get the larger 127. The 107 is super stable and much lighter. What do you expect to get out of the 127 that you wont on the 107? I know someone who sold their 127 to "downgrade" to the 107. I lift my 107 up to get it on my truck bed and its not light. I suggest you see the two in person and maybe try both out!

[@thedookster4143]

Reel One I have, the only diff was the extra room front and rear and som gear tracks...not that big a deal. Thanks man, good video too....

[@ReelOne]

It also comes with the underseat tackle drawer. But you can buy that for the 107 if you want it. I feel the 107 is the perfect size and just much more manageable.

[@bigdaddyserg1843]

Great video just subbed 🔥

[@ReelOne]

Thank you. Appreciated!

[@outdoorswithchuck174]

Listen to that soundtrack 😌! The birds, the water, the casts. Nice video in tranquil setting. I loved it! Brother check out my channel too when you get a moment, I think you’d like it 🤙🏾 cheers bro 👍🏾

[@BassBros8]

Looks like a great kayak!!🔥

[@ReelOne]

Thanks brother! It's so nice..

[@Uno707]

Hey Bud, great video! Just a heads up, that kayak cart would be even easier to manage the kayak if you get it further in towards the middle. Becomes almost weightless

[@ReelOne]

Thanks for the tip!

[@wesleyhudson2449]

Awesome , that’s my home lake!

[@Steeziewindowcleaning]

How does that boat treat you on a lake? I’m wondering if I want the 12 foot or 10 foot model? How does it track at low speeds? Have you ever owned a 12 footer? Thanks man good video

[@ReelOne]

Get the 10ft and Invest in a rudder. Its super stable and easier to handle the 107. Biggest complaint is the lack of a rudder. I now own a 2018 Hobie Outback and love it. Not as comfortable as the Bonafide though.

[@WhitchurchFishing1]

io love my c tug i use it for my Nucanoe

[@ReelOne]

It definitely necessary!

I just bought a new SS127. I’m going to Tampa next week. We gotta hang out. 😁

Thanks for watching James! Hope it warms up quickly for you! #Tightlines

[@jolofishing2506]

Good job 👍 on the video man. See you soon 🎣🎣🤙🤙🤙

Thanks homey!

[@7citiesfishing]

nice yak setup man!

[@ReelOne]

Thank You!

[@boatordie6328]

Sick!

[@Tim_Ruiz13]

Late to this video as I’m just seeing it. Interested in the Bonafide 107 and curious, once you get a hang of standing up, from a scale of 1-10, how stable is it when you hook and reel in a fish?

[@ReelOne]

8/10. No worries on hookset! Can't give it more BC I'm sure the 127 takes that spot. I now own a Hobie Outback, which I love but it can't touch the Bonafide stability or comfort of the seat. Thanks for watching!

[@Robgutierrez76]

Good video man! I just picked me up The sameness kayak . Keep an eye out I’m a do some videos myself. Thanks for sharing

[@ReelOne]

Thank you! Look forward to your videos, subscribed!

[@ericbatista1963]

Hey man, great video! I just pick one of these up as well. I’m in MA and it’s still a bit cold but looking forward to getting out in the next week or so. It may have been asked or covered if so I missed it. But what is the name of the setup you have that wheel it down to the water with? Looks perfect.

[@ReelOne]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Its called the C-TUG and its definitely come in handy! 😎

[@fishfever5923]

If you put the C-tug closer towards the middle like right behind the seat, that would make it so much easier for you than having the C-Tug on the back.

[@ReelOne]

I'll try that, Thank you!

[@BernPisarcikJr]

My son has the same kayak, and we have yet to use it. It’s cold here in NJ. Thanks for the tip, cause it’ll be me getting it to the water!!

[@ReelOne]

@@BernPisarcikJr Awesome! Enjoy!

[@BernPisarcikJr]

Reel One I really didn’t want to spend the loot on the c tug. I’m a mechanic, so investing in good tools is part of my character. Thanks for showing it works with this Bonafide. We tried it just in front of his seat, and seems to be good balance when holding the rear handle. I have also seen it used in the front just where the side rails dip down behind the front hatch. Have an awesome day my friend.

[@ReelOne]

@@BernPisarcikJr Nice!! Now catch some fish!

[@alecwilcox6549]

What’s the speed like in the 107?

[@ReelOne]

Good question! I would say it depends, obviously faster than a heavier, longer sit on top kayak like the 127 or similar. But definitely not as fast as most sit inside kayaks. I would say it is NOT that fast and if speed or covering any significant distance is important on non moving bodies of water... this isn't your yak. However it isn't slow and it's strengths can't be understated! It is light for what it offers, is beyond stable, has plenty of storage and 'fishability'. I see a lot of owners, esp of the 127 adding motors or some form of propulsion.

[@alecwilcox6549]

Reel One thanks for the reply! I’m almost sold on this yak. I’m only 175lbs so I feel this kayak is about perfect for me. The only concern I’d have is keeping up with others on choppy water. But I love the storage and stability of this model.

[@ReelOne]

@@alecwilcox6549 Thank you for the question! Yes you will have a time keeping up in chop with other yaks in that environment. Also if there is any significant wind/current you need to look into the rudder option, or you will be blown and turned all around. I don't own it and thus dont take my yak out on windy days. I'll actually be taking this yak out inshore fishing soon, so look for that!

[@fresnobassn744]

MojoBass Rod 💪👍

[@Apachefog]

That first bass was so skinny, I thought it was a walleye at first.

[@klrjohn8550]

I just picked one of these up yesterday(same color) and put it on the water today. I'm 6'1" @ 260. I had the seat in the high position and by the end of the day, I felt a little more confident. Getting up standing and turning around to get things out of the tank well, I'm not there yet! I hope it will come and that my big ass is not going to regret it, lol. I'll text it more in warmer weather when I don't mind going in, lol. I Enjoyed your video!

[@ReelOne]

Thank you John! I'm more comfortable now. I can reach behind me, turn and grab my rods. I can get down and kinda crawl towards front to open hatch. But just like you I'll wait to warmer friendlier waters to truly test my limits.

[@ryanstoysandoutdoorfun]
