Been looking into getting a fishing yak. These seam to have pretty good reviews all around for the price. I REALLY like the depth finder setup you have there. Thats awesome. I see you saying about the yak being heavy. I Want to do more research and weight is def. A concern of mine, so thank you for pointing that out. I'm interested to see where other, similarly priced/rigged systems weigh. 85 pounds sounds light to me when considering the amount of yak that is there but you have me wondering how this one stands up to others in the same range. Thanks for the review, I guess the bottom line is that you said you would buy it again...that says a lot.

I AGREE 100% ... IF YOU'RE GOING TO CALL IT A FISHING KAYAK,AT LEAST PUT SOME ROD HOLDERS ON ! ! ! . I LOVE MINE BUT MAIN GRIPE IS... IT COULD TRACK A LITTLE BETTER ... WHERE THE PADS ARE ON THE SIDE .. I PUT YAK ATACK TRACKS ON .. WORKS REALLY NICE.

Fair review. You didn't call out the tracking at all unless I missed it. What's your take on the tracking? I'm fine with no rod holders. It means we get to buy the exact ones we want. It is lame the junk drawer isn't included since it's so inexpensive, and basically everyone would want that IMO. Cup holders... I'm not really sure. I find I hate molded in cup holders in basically everything I've ever owned. They are almost always in bad spots or a bad size. Again, at least we get the size and location we want. I have the ss107 in the mail on the way to my house right now.

@booblah53784 жыл бұрын
the tracking is bad on the 107 in the wind the back end will swing out. I have a ss107 myself and it can get frustrating. Having said that, the the flex wings or the rudder makes a world of difference. totally worth the money.

You can buy wings that attach to the stern of the boat that help with tracking. I ended up adding a rudder. Worth the money.

My biggest disappointment about my ss127 was the fact that it did not come with rod holders. I paid to install flush mounted rod holders on both sides, but I agree it should have come with that.

Yes. There’s no reason 2 rod holders couldn’t have been included.
@CrazyCranker2 жыл бұрын
Great review! And good point about the no rod holders. From my experience though, I can kind of see the manufactures point of not including them. Most of the time when they do include them, there in the wrong spots and just end up collecting water in them. That fact that you do have to add stuff like additional tracks and rod holders lead me to believe it's over priced from the start? This being a paddling kayak, how is the paddling?

One additional major disappointment is the way it handles in the Wind. I did solve this problem by adding a power pole to the back and anchor wizard with the 8 lb downrigger ball that deploys at the front. Great paddle kayak after a few additions
@triggerhappyreviews4 жыл бұрын
I agree with this also. I added a rudder to combat the wind. I like your ideas also. I think it’s because of the high sitting position that the wind is such an issue.
@tonyjones90574 жыл бұрын
@@triggerhappyreviews I don't think it's the high seat position because they came up with the wings that you attached to the bottom of the kayak now. Bonafide found out that when you take one paddle stroke it will cause kayak to completely spin around in one direction. I found it to be true also, try it and you'll see. I opted not to get the wings, I have enough control.
