Fully Rigged Fishing Kayak! 2024 Tournament Kayak Walkthrough.

[@rustycompassadventures]

You learn something new everyday. I had no idea that you could swap out the tie down's with the paddle holders. This is a game changer for me. I hate having my paddles so close to where I sit down! Love the setup. Tight lines!

[@garrettwadefishing]

It really is. Glad I could help

[@jimmysalazar7039]

10:19… I wouldn’t call it a game changer, but I’d definitely call it a great idea! We have a very similar set up. Great video

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. It definitely makes standing a little easier

[@jimmysalazar7039]

@@garrettwadefishing you know what I’ve only fished my kayak once in the last year! I don’t even know what I’m talking about! I think I’m more into accessorizing it, due to lack of days off.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Accessorizing is a hobby all to itself

[@lowlifeangler]

Sick Wade. All you need a mounted Zman Mini Max dispenser 😂

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thats right

[@lowlifeangler]

@@garrettwadefishing lol referring to your 2023 KBF championship video I should be down there for the Knucklhed series in November. Keep the videos coming

[@garrettwadefishing]

It was definitely good to me that week

[@swimbaitninja4761]

Found the video randomly but glad I did! Sick build! Will use some of the stuff you have there.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Awesome. Thanks

[@aldojer5053]

Awesome video Mr Wade I found your video by chance. I don't own a Hobie. But I own a native Titan 12.5 a Hobie will be next please keep the videos coming. I just subscribed. Stay safe out there and God bless

[@garrettwadefishing]

Awesome thanks. I hope you enjoy the content

[@michaels-hoooorahhhse5290]

Can't wait to watch the CRATE making post.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Hopefully you enjoy it. It’s step by step through the whole process

[@letun3481]

Absolutely awesome!

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks

[@dzborn2fish]

Sweet set up man! 😮

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks 👊

[@granvillej3316]

I’m impressed well done sir!!!❤

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thank you

[@Peaceonthewater]

Love the rig!

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. Me too

[@BrettC1973]

Nice setup!

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. I’m thoroughly enjoying it

[@BrettC1973]

@@garrettwadefishing You should look into the Ketch Jake plates. When i replaced mine I set my plastic Hobie ones one the table and i was amazed at how much they deformed. Sick kayak none the less.

[@garrettwadefishing]

@Bret5Cr15 ketch makes some awesome products

[@MaineStreamFishing]

Dope set up! I like the little specific you did for YOU and how YOU how to fish. A lot of people are copy and paste just because they others with it.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thats what makes kayak fishing great. There are a million little ways you can rig it to make them custom just how you like.

[@glennrogers2711]

Nice walk through.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks

[@BenHolliday1]

Here’s you another tip for your Fischer pole. You can buy an extra cone from Fishing Specialties and install it on your pole so you can bring your pole out of the water while you’re moving. You don’t have to bring the whole pole into your boat.

[@garrettwadefishing]

I’ve not thought of that. I usually just keep it in that rod holder hanging over the side when it’s not in use or moving spots.

[@applegatefishing]

I'm jealous of that crate, I need to make myself one. My brother and I ran into you prefishing at Guntersville when we pulled up at the ramp (Malone trailer with 2 blue Hobie 360s), we kept an eye on the standings to see how you were doing, heck of a job! I'm not sure if this was answered elsewhere but does your buddy sell those brackets by chance?

[@garrettwadefishing]

I don’t believe he does. It would probably be a good seller though. And thanks

[@TheHurtlacher]

Have you had any issues with water coming up through the rudder and skeg deployment holes? I put the 36v 40a battery in the front and directly behind the seat. From 3/4 - full throttle water was actually coming into that rudder control compartment and then into the hull via the control cords. I racked my brain on the “leak” until I removed the Hobie mount and saw the water inside that housing. Not a deal breaker as I did a silicone deal with those holes to make them smaller but still functional. Just something I need to be mindful of. Awesome setup you’ve got btw

[@garrettwadefishing]

It’s possible I get a little water from that. I do get water in my hull some trips. Could be from that or around the drive because I stand in the front most of the day. Never really had enough to be worried with. I just scoop it out at the end of the day.

[@TheHurtlacher]

@@garrettwadefishing that 300 makes it hard to not push it 😆. I think the day I really noticed it I went probably 5mi full throttle to see how she did. Not enough to really matter but enough to get me to investigate

[@garrettwadefishing]

@TheHurtlacher I know what you mean. I just about have the tail end of my kayak under water when I’m loaded down and running hard

[@AliensHive2]

Awesome setup, well done! Any chance you can expand on the steering? I see you have the YakAttack MightyMount Duo Rail Adapters, but how did you connect the Sea-Lect steering peddles too the YakAttack rail adapters?

[@garrettwadefishing]

Here is an in-depth video on it. **BEST** Way To Install Foot Control Steering kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqSqfp2JoM6lfa8

[@pinesbaby894]

Nice rigging! Can you share another video on how you did the wiring? Do you have a fuse box with all the wires going to it and then one main line to the batteries? Keep the videos coming great content 😎

[@garrettwadefishing]

I’ll look into doing an in depth electronics breakdown

[@cloutmaster965]

I wonder why people don’t get foot steering for their spotlock motors. It seems like the PA has enough space to fit one.

[@garrettwadefishing]

That’s a good question. It would be worth doing in my opinion

[@rodneyhart1826]

Nice setup and rigging. For the NK300 lift arm, can we purchase it as well? I have the same motor and the lift are that comes stock bent as it is a heavy motor.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. The lift arm isn’t available anywhere at this time

[@SLYFOXFISHIN]

Sweet set up you have brother . Hey by chance do you still have the nk180 motor ? I'm looking to buy a used one that's still in good condition.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. I do still have the 180 but my son uses it on his kayak.

[@SLYFOXFISHIN]

​@@garrettwadefishingsounds good brother. I'm sure he is enjoying it . Tightlines and keep catching those big ones .

[@garrettwadefishing]

He absolutely does.

[@SLYFOXFISHIN]

@garrettwadefishing it's awesome he loves fishing , great tradition to pass along to the younger generation

[@japapelili]

thanks for the vidoe. when you transport teh kayak on highway, do you take the graphs off the crossbar or do you take the entire crossbar off? thanks

[@garrettwadefishing]

I actually leave the graphs and the crate on the kayak.

[@19mij73]

Can you make a video on your trailer

[@garrettwadefishing]

I’ve got a couple custom changes I’ll be making to it soon and will definitely post a video once it’s done.

[@FineWoodworker]

I have nearly the same setup, but I use the NK180 from Newport. Would love some links for the other stuff. Great video.

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks. I didn’t realize I didn’t have the links on there. Check the description I added them.

[@mda_fishing]

Nice setup 👍🏾

[@garrettwadefishing]

Thanks
