How I Rig My Kayak for Kokanee, Salmon, & Trout Fishing

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@tonyjessen8204]

You have a lot of stuff on there. I’m amazed at how you pedal,hook a fish and net it all at the same time. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍🎣

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

It would be cool to see all your different tackle box set ups!

[@practicedm]

Wow thanks for sharing I hope to get into a kayak in the next few years.

[@Fishinwithtyler12]

That’s an awesome setup!

[@ropeman3916]

Thanks for the video and the discount code. Every penny counts nowadays, setting kayaks up to troll is pricey but, it is a boat right, everything marine is expensive.

[@robbysmusic8507]

clean and simple.....nice!

[@Carlb328]

I wish I could have one of those mounts on my inflatable kayak.

[@briansullivan380]

I'm getting ready to spend the money to setup like, you the "Pro" does! Best to use all your equipment in your setup! Also, I am looking at purchasing an oldtown PDL Kayak and wondering which model you recommend?

[@spiltmilt]

I fish the Old Town Salty 120 PDL but which is best for you will depend on a variety of factors.

[@bill14729]

Because of you I just bought the salty pdl 120 and I like it. Now for my question does the Berley Pro Side Bro interfere with you peddling. I'm 6' with a size 10 shoe

[@spiltmilt]

No not at all. I wear a size 10 shoe as well

[@tylerrandolph6193]

Looks great! Have you tried the Yak Attack battery box/finder mount? Keeps from having to undo the transducer and power cables. Attaches to Gear Track as well. :D

[@spiltmilt]

I don't like cluttering up the kayak rails with that. Having it wired inside keeps everything out of the way and nice and dry

[@MrAcuta73]

What is your opinion of power in current/wind between prop and mirage-type pedal drives? I still haven't bought my kayak, life came up and had expenses I wasn't planning on. Still intend to get the Lightning Nomad and rig it over the Winter. Not what I wanted but Murphy can be a real jerk. lol One thing I definitely like about the Lightning Vs Old Town is a LARGE dedicated transducer pocket in the hull.

[@spiltmilt]

It has a lot more to do with hull shape than your pedal drive I think.

[@MrAcuta73]

@@spiltmilt Fair enough

[@briansullivan380]

Any chance to post for me all the equipment you use here and model, name brand, etc.?

[@spiltmilt]

It’s all in the description

[@wojomojo]

since you use snap weights with kokanees, what do you use the downrigger for? It’s the one thing I’m not sure I need.

[@spiltmilt]

It’s useful at times for deep water Kokanee

[@cnielson97]

How tall are you? You mention that the downrigger set up works for someone of your height. Just curious if it would work for me at 6'1. Thanks

[@spiltmilt]

5’7” I suspect you are too tall for installation behind u

[@fishingthenw1642]

Did you have to drill that v lock base plate? Or does it come with 4 plate holes?

[@spiltmilt]

I had to drill it

[@fishingthenw1642]

@@spiltmilt Regular drill, or did you use a drill press?

[@dansasaki3016]

Do you ever feel the need to raise the seat?

[@spiltmilt]

No
