First Paddle Impressions of the STAR Challenger Inflatable Fishing Kayak

[@SciD1]

Honestly, that looks pretty much like an inflatable paddleboard, not a kayak. Look at the Aquaglide Blackfoot Angler 130 or 160. Now that's a kayak!

The difference is in the hull. Inflatable paddleboards are planning style hulls with one air chamber, and a flat bottom. The inflatable kayak has three air chambers, and a pontoon style hull which offers more stability than a flat bottom - not to mention the chair.

Good video as usual. Try the first deep break outside south facing bays for crappie. They won’t be up too shallow yet. Small cranks have worked well for me in The past.

Thanks Andrew! I’ll have to pick up some small cranks. I’ve just been trying small spinners and spoons with worm bits. - B

@@Paddleheads beetle spins work as well. Once it warms up a bit I head straight to any lay downs and brush piles in shallow water. Then it’s bobber and jig time. I never use worms but have gotten wax worms at pet smart when ice fishing. Those work well.

Nice opening visual of overturned Outhouse.....the Star is too much of a paddleboard that leads to wet feet, equipment on any kind of chop. Need some side walls to be most comfortable.

Hahaha I was wondering if anyone would notice that. My experience with most fishing kayaks is you get some wet feet. Personally I didn’t notice this had anymore of that than most, but I can see that different people may have different experiences. Cheers.

What's that run..Ben?? Nevermind saw the price for that I'd just buy an actual kayak.. good for those that don't got storages but not for real paddleheads I'd say...just my view...great video though💯🙏
