FINALLY PELICAN CATCH MODE 110 Unboxing Setup Walkthru

[@AliexFolgueira]

Check out the Pelican Mode 110 here (affiliate) geni.us/60RIy

[@happaflapp7212]

I have the original Catch 120. It's a good to great kayak. I've owned it for 8 years now, and never had an issue with the fused hull. The only issue(s) I've encountered with the Catch 120 has been tracking, and I wore a hole in the bottom of one of the pontoons due to dragging it over asphalt too many times (my fault). I repaired using plastic welding materials, and now I have reinforced it with Kydex. Looking forward to another 8 years with it. The Mode looks cool too.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Is the seat like this one ?

[@happaflapp7212]

@@AliexFolgueira Same seat, just the previous generation.

[@hobbygarage1779]

I've had an original Catch 120 for 8 years now and the fused hull construction has been tough as nails. I do store it inside, not out in the summer heat and cold winter. I stand in it more than sit and have it on the water 2 or 3 times a week. That's a lot of time on the water in 8 years. Your 110 appears to be even more stable for standing.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@hobbygarage1779 yup super durable, this one is stable enough to stand and fish

[@JoseRivas-uj6xx]

After doing a lot of research I end up buying that one kayak I can’t wait to get it and go in the water

[@AliexFolgueira]

The tiller set up from pelican works great I used that then foot rests stay foot rests I put mine on right side but will work either side I love mine other than it is harder than most to paddle I used minn kota 30lb and it will cruise all day with a 100ah batt

[@predatorarmyfishing5901]

I think pelican have to do a yak same as pwr 100 with HD2 pedal drive and they got the perfection 👌

[@SigCross]

I just got this boat two days ago, mine is the Venom green colour. I love it. Got the skeg version as I probably won’t ever put a trolling motor on it. If I change my mind I can always get the transom. Great video !

[@AliexFolgueira]

thank you how did it paddle with the sleg?

[@SigCross]

I actually haven’t had it in the water yet, I’m taking it out to fish pickerel on Wednesday. Can’t wait! I have friends that have this boat as well and they said the skeg helps it track better but really where I fish for trout mostly in dead waters and small rivers, I don’t think I’ll really need it. Time will tell.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@SigCross boom 💥 if anything you can always motorized it haha

[@thomasdegroof1004]

How does this one compare with the 106PDL, the pwr 129 by bonafide and the Feelfree Lure? Which is most stable?

[@AliexFolgueira]

probaly not as stable since it is thinner than the 106 and not as long as the 129 but we will test that out soon

[@slottygw2wvw842]

Does it come with paddle??

[@AliexFolgueira]

no

[@dylanmurphy3145]

Please do a comparison or give me your thoughts on the Pelican Catch Mode 110 vs the Pelican Catch PWR 100. I can't find any videos or comparisons in general of the two. I'm torn between them. Think I would love the Catch Mode 110 but am wondering if the extra width and stability is worth the price difference for the PWR100

[@Louieville801]

Beautiful kayak . I got mine arriving in the morning tomorrow . I’m so stoked lol did this kayak come w the MSO? (Manufacturer state of origin)

[@AliexFolgueira]

Yes they do

[@Louieville801]

@@AliexFolgueira I just got mine 😭😭 even more beautiful In person lol. I probably watched your review video like 3 times this week lol keep the good content coming man! 💯

[@Howie_fish]

Ive motorguide xi3 Do you think bow mounting it on this yak will make it tip heavy? Ive it bow mounted on an old town 106 paddle yak. Works fine, just looking to get a third yak, something lighter when friend family comes alone

[@AliexFolgueira]

if you put the xi3 on the bow, and balance the boat by adding the battery to the tankwell and also a cooler per say, it should be fine, i will test it though

[@Howie_fish]

​@@AliexFolgueira Awesome thanks man, lmk. I was thinking bow mount the XI3, and keep the battery(I've lithium ion) in the rear. And the weight they advertised, 63lbs, does it seem true to that weight ? I see you carry it on video seems light

[@AliexFolgueira]

@HowieHuynh yeah I'm not a big guy haha so normal strength

[@tibbsmcclane7857]

Where's the rod holder that comes with it?

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@tibbsmcclane7857 the flush mounted ones it has

[@tibbsmcclane7857]

@@AliexFolgueira My bad I spoke too soon. Apparently the one I bought had a mountable one. But it didn't belong to the kayak even though it was zip tied to it lol. When I was watching your video I was going back inside to check and I found out I got something for free 😂

[@nvskorpio]

Wassup dude - just found this channel- thanks for an informative video - I've got a Catch Mode 110 on the way as I speak - I was wonderin about the size of the "kayak crate" depression in back of the seat - I'm thinking about also getting me a Yakattack crate before my kayak arrives and would like to know - if you could answer in the comments that'd be great - I'll check your channel and look forward to some Catch Mode fishing videos from you - thanks again

[@AliexFolgueira]

i was going to add this bit to this video and i forgot lol, so I just went downstairs, took my 16 by 16 blackpack and it fits perfectly in the tankwell, but you should not add rodholders to the section of the blackpack that goes direclty behind the seat, there is plenty of space but if you like to seat back on the seat and strech, the backrest my touch the rodholders and get weird. If you do order the blackpak online please use my afffiliate links (amazon) amzn.to/3TUMOxe or ecofishing ecofishingshop.com/products/yakattack-blackpak-pro-kayak-fishing-crate-16-x-16?aff=26

[@nvskorpio]

Thanks for the swift response I appreciate it and if I push the button on the Yak pack I'll use that link .. $150 is a big chunk of change tho

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@nvskorpio it is worth it, I don't fish without it

[@k62g58]

I like the dolly you have the kayak sitting on. Self build or did you purchase? I certainly can't track it down.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Here is an affiliate link, it is expensive geni.us/isoJ16

[@k62g58]

@@AliexFolgueira I’ll say. Didn’t see that price coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@childofgod5115]

I ordered the Venom can’t wait for it to get here my plan is to attach a e-fin to the skeg I’m supper excited I have the castaway and love it just wanted to upgrade to something bigger because I’m loving the kayak fishing. Thanks for all the great vids. Do you know about the e fin? Is it good ? Thanks

[@AliexFolgueira]

hi im not familiar with the e fin

[@MrTIREMAN16]

You literally cannot beat the 130 pedal drive. H2. Yeah, there's a lot more stable kayaks out there. And i've owned several of them but I can grab my pelican like i've said many times don't it over shoulder climber A fence whatever I have to do. I personally don't stand in mind if I'm gonna fish. A lake where I wanna stand I take my 3 water 108 I originally had the field free Dorado, which is a Beast just as heavy as the 3 water that cost more. But I still love my Pelican. It's the one I. Grab most because I do a lot of river fishing. Thank you for your reviews. They have helped me decide on kayaks. And definitely the ones i'm not gonna buy.

[@drjekelmrhyde]

I would add a 45lb trolling motor and the auto boat thing to it.

[@AliexFolgueira]

That will be done SOON

[@pendragofan]

Damnit man A little late....I literally bought a seastream angler 120pd on friday due to your videos... I searched forever for this video XD.....

[@AliexFolgueira]

thats a nice boat

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

Looks like you have a lot of experience with kayaks so I’ll ask your opinion….I’m looking to buy my first kayak for fishing and I’m not sure what to get or where to start. I was going to buy a basic Ascend 10T sit on top kayak but the reviews weren’t that great. I definitely want something quality made but I know that comes with a high price. What are some fishing kayaks you would recommend that are sit on top, high quality, light enough to car top and get it in and out of the water by myself and stable? My budget is around $1,500…I’ve been looking at this VIBE Makana 100 which is a pedal drive fishing kayak for $1,600….what’s your thoughts on VIBE kayaks are they quality kayaks?

[@AliexFolgueira]

haha as i was reading your comment i was thinking MAKNA, why it has pedal drive and then you mentioned lol, the makana is stable, fast and super easy to car top, you can upgrade the drive to the hobie drive if you want to spend that money or also use the impulse drive with reverse, point is it gives you options, i have tons of videos with the makana in this channel just search "makana aliex" there were some issues with the x drive but i have been told that was already corrected, another kayak with a pedal drive you can look at is the feelfree moken 10 pdl, i enjoy using that kayak, has a wheel and you can car top it easy, you can find those video by searching aliex feelfree moken 10 pdl, also ready the comments lots of owners commented on the videos. Hope this helps :) thanks

[@AliexFolgueira]

forgot to add the pelican hydryve 110 is nice too, light and it wasnt thhat expensive, it has been a while since i reviewed it, those videos are in the channel as well

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

@@AliexFolgueira - How is the quality of Vibe kayaks though? I’ve heard stories of some kayaks like the Ascend brand warping and the material being thin. I absolutely want to avoid any of that. Especially with how much I would be paying. Also, I notice this Vibe Makana has fin propulsion compared to some pedal drives that have propeller propulsion….what’s the difference in the two? Is one better then the other?

[@AliexFolgueira]

@greeneyesfromohio4103 every kayak is made out of plastic, there will be issues, the main thing is do they honor the warranty? I mean even ,super expensive hobies break, there are posts daily on Facebook, I have my shearwater for years now hasn't broken, makana held up nicely too, now ascend, I'm sorry but their build quality is bad! And they are owned by bass pro which is sad, they should make them better

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@greeneyesfromohio4103 propel drive has reverse but slower on the makana, the fin drive is faster and easier to use in shallows I would probably go fin drive in this case, for example I bought the hobie drive for mine

[@silverdropstang]

Alex, long time fan. I seriously want your opinion on something. I have 2 offers from guys on fb marketplace. I have a “pew pew” Im looking to trade. One guy has the Pelican Mode 110 used and the other guy has a brand new Pelican 110 HDII pedal drive. I reached out to both to see if they wanted to trade. Surprisingly, both agreed to the trade. My question is, which one is the better kayak? Im concerned for the pedal drive due to reading Academy Sports reviews. Please help🤝

[@AliexFolgueira]

Pelican Hydrive for sure! costs more than double, plus if the drive breaks you can get the parts to fix it easy.

[@silverdropstang]

@@AliexFolgueira Thanks for your input. The man sent me plenty of pics. Apparently hes an older gentleman and purchased at the end of 2022 in December. Injured himself and now permanently done with kayaking. Boat still has tags on it and plastic on the lettering. Garage kept.

[@AliexFolgueira]

@@silverdropstang for the HDII?? get it! hopefully the man is still able to fish off a boat

[@silverdropstang]

@@AliexFolgueira yes bro the hdII! Not sure what happ with him but I will find out soon enough. I have messaged him to do the trade tomorrow!

[@silverdropstang]

@@AliexFolgueira Hey bro wanted to share something with you. I had a buddy of mine on the look out on his Facebook for people selling kayaks (I dont have any social media other than this). A guy was selling a 2022 Native Propel Slayer 13’ pedal drive. I got his contact info. He sent me pics of the kayak. Im meeting him tomorrow to do the trade!! Im much happier with this deal than the HDII.

[@Swampthing401]

I would buy in a second if it were roto molded. Id also perfer if it sat higher in the water, so the water cant come over the side on me in rough waves (i fish the bay) . I think Pelican is definitly on to something with the design, but roto molded would have been superior.

[@AliexFolgueira]

roto molded superior???????? like in what way???

[@piesquared1025]

I got one last year. Paddles like a turd. No glide. A more pointed front would have helped. Bulbous front works great in rivers/rapids. Keeps your nose high and dry. If your going to fish lakes, get a motor. If your an old guy, standing up gonna be a bitch. The seat sits dam near on the floor.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Motor ftw! Haha
