Bonafide XTR 130 FISHING KAYAK SETUP! - Ultimate Rigging Guide

[@michaelsmith3282]

Congrats Jake very nice

[@ryanfuller9710]

Nice rig Jake!

[@BowFinJunkie]

thanks brother!!

[@lowlifeangler]

Sweeeeeett ride, Jake! Just wondering why the motor battery was in the back. Then see why due it can cause inference running live scope. I wish Yakattack made a short stack with a bottom, instead an add on. I kinda like the Yakgadget angled crate ,but I'll rather modify a milk crate first instead buying one. Love the lights! It needs a Newport NK300 in the back. With the swivel chair , Jake can install a full drum set with a ton of cowbell!! LoL

[@wendellfishing]

MORE COWBELL!

[@lowlifeangler]

@wendellfishing Yakattack will be working on a track mount cowbell holder!

[@ryanfuller9710]

😂Put the battery in the bottom of the black pack and move it back...to get the 360 swivel and take less terminal stuff ..😂😂😂 love it

[@wendellfishing]

Then you just have a $200 battery box!

[@ryanfuller9710]

@@wendellfishing and a 360 seat!

[@ryanfuller9710]

One battery only takes up half of it

[@ryanfuller9710]

Trust me I know!

[@ryanfuller9710]

He is going to need to use his blackpack for batteries when he puts that NK300 on😂😂😂

[@michaell1665]

My biggest interest in the XTR 130 is more in how it handles a larger motor for S Louisiana inshore fishing I'm running my NK300 on my 8 year old Slayer Propel 13. I can maybe push it to 6.5 to 6.75 mph, more like 5.5 to 6.0 mph to save battery power. However, it is a pretty wet ride in a significant chop. An older guy here, there is a part of me that wants to get maybe an old 13ft used Whaler or something similar, but getting a trailer and something big like the XTR 130 is tempting! Most of my rigging would transfer over seamlessly, but if I can't get a relatively dry ride then maybe a boat is the way to go! I am interested in what it takes to push these heavy yaks and how dry they ride at those speeds.

[@wendellfishing]

Right on.. I am sure Jake will come through the comments and be able to share how his XI3 handled the XTR

[@BowFinJunkie]

It handles it great. The XTR has a high bow and would be even better with a stern mounted motor. The big standing deck would be absolutely awesome in the LA flats!

[@VinceB391]

Nice rig. I do like the XTR. A lot of rigging options and Jake has his done-up nicely. But, I’m happy with the Titan X 12.5. I do wish I’d had gotten a bow mount motor over NK300 though. If no other reason of having Spot Lock in the wind. Thanks for the video!

[@wendellfishing]

Right on Vince

[@anthonyvespia6662]

"EPIC" Love these videos because, no two kayak are the same. Thank you and you buddy, for a great walk through. Darren, I still recommend the W.S. Ceate. But if you want the short stacks. The Black Pack Pro, also awesome. 🎣 😎

[@wendellfishing]

You got that right.. just a good video on how to get some ideas on how to rig your yak.

[@Steady_Stick]

Cool setup

[@wendellfishing]

Thanks boss!

[@ryanfuller9710]

😮did Bonafide issue a statement for dual motors...this might be the only rig that will get that statement.....the nk300 to travel to spot and the xi to fish the spot. I asked Nucanoe to issue that statement and they will not....😅

[@ericr1382]

sweet yak. sucks the XI3 kayak motors are done, no more 36". wonder what is going to replace it.

[@BowFinJunkie]

I think minn kota has a short shaft bow mount motor. I hear it’s pretty decent.

[@repairdrive]

Is it possible to fall in love with a kayak?? 😍

[@BowFinJunkie]

I think so

[@wendellfishing]

Well, now we have a weird love triangle going on.

[@Danxiong]

Love the build especially the position of the graphs! Not really a fan of the build with a bridge to hold 2 graphs, kinda defeats the purpose of being able to stand on the deck.

[@wendellfishing]

yeah.. the command stations defeats the purpose on this yak IMO

[@BowFinJunkie]

Agreed! Glad I went with this idea. It works out very well! So much room on the deck for activities lol.

[@willgriggers-ex5zq]

Not any wider than my Titan 12.5 I don’t think. I would love a side by side comparison between this and my Titan. I just don’t need a 3 kayak.

[@wendellfishing]

Will.. i don't compute "dont need a 3rd kayak" #collectthemall

[@freeagentangler5159]

Great video, but if you do another one, please show the bottom of the kayak as well.

[@ryanfuller9710]

280 paddle???

[@lowlifeangler]

Ha! I would've been using a pole

[@wendellfishing]

$160

[@wendellfishing]

or my hands!

[@ryanfuller9710]

@@wendellfishing size not cost....

[@lowlifeangler]

@ryanfuller9710 Yup, Daren has a wingspan

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Turn the transducer/sonar off when using AT, interference issues solved 🫡

[@BowFinJunkie]

Yes that’s what I had to do on my Hobie PA14 but not with the XTR. That’s all I was saying in the video.

[@miclam00]

"kayak"

[@rodrigoelgu]

man I'm not liking the transducer location its going to get chewed up, I rather have something under the kayak I can retract like my nucanoe, still nice setup.

[@wendellfishing]

Right on brother!

[@mmancino1982]

I'm seriously considering selling my autopilot for this. Like he said, with that sale I could probably buy the kayak and the Xi3

[@dpsaws]

Did those footpedals with the adjuster knobs come with the boat ?

[@BowFinJunkie]

Yes, those are the stock foot pedals. The nobs are part of the SS Rudder Kit.

[@winstonrocco1981]

How much for this complete setup?

[@wendellfishing]

This setup is $10K

[@BowFinJunkie]

Not recommended for the feint of heart. 😂

[@1221Ralph]

$160 rudder expensive? Laughs in $300 hobie rudder upgrade 😭

[@wendellfishing]

lol... true story

[@Real_Talk411]

$169 Wendell hit them same notes that i would have 😂. Its nice, but not $169 dollars nice 😂. The rudder was the biggest thing why i wouldn't go with this kayak. I rather go with your kayak Wendell. But this guy has a nice rig without a doubt 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼. Thanks for the walk around fellas 👍.

[@wendellfishing]

Heck yeah brother! Glad you enjoyed it
