Kayak do dad Walk through Perception 10.0 DIY Modifications and Rigging

[@pmm422]

Oh I actually missed the measuring tape mounted to the deck of my Kayak. You can buy plastic sewing tapes from Amazon or Ebay for a dollar. I even got one that matched the color. I even installed a flat piece of plastic under the seat where you put the fishes nose to get a measurement. It's not exactly tournament legal but for texting your buddies about how big it was it's a nice tool.

Great video. It appears we live in the same part of Western Washington and there doesn't seem to be many fishing videos coming from the Puget Sound. I'm addicted to building things so it's fun to see what people build and use on their kayaks. Let me know if you would like to meet, some day, and try some new lakes in the area.

@@teedub127 I fish lake Sammamish mostly but I like Beaver Lake and and a few others too, I was thinking of heading up to Big lake because it looks like a potentially good lake for bass and pan fish. I believe Big Lake would be just north of you. My email is on my websites contact page (see description).

@@pmm422 If you like pan fish you should check out Silver Lake, it's been stocked with Rock Bass. Good eating and a nice fighter. I'll contact you, soon.

The rod holder the let you put on new tackle should be on every fishing kayak. I have always struggled just to reset my pole after a catch.

[@pmm422]

I appreciate the feedback, the problem with this one is that it's vertical and wasn't until I got the Native Titan did I realize that the vertical holder promotes tip wrap. I spent a lot of time unwrapping my tips. but it certainly was way better than not having it.

[@thiodorchalkias8906]

Nice and practical thinks!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! The kayak cart is made by you or it's something you bought from a branch? Have good time every time!!! Best regards from Hellas (Greece)!!!

[@pmm422]

Cart is a DIY project made from ABS plastic pipe and the wheels came from Harbor-freight hardware store.

[@w.isaiahjohnson4389]

Nice work. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing the DIY ideas.

Thanks, and you are welcome 🙂

Hey! Awesome mods! I love my Crank 10. I've done a few mods on mine also, but I was trying to figure out a spot in front of me to keep gear like, tackle and stuff. You just solved my problem! Thank you. Can you please make a vid (if you haven't already), on that peddle cover? It's the perfect solution! 😊

[@mlangfordoutdoor]

I just got a Old Town 120 PDL 2022 model and so far its great, I like what you have done here that is a loaded yak and should be ready for any fish. Tight lines sir and thumb up no. 65

[@pmm422]

Thanks for the feedback I enjoy your videos keep up the good work.

[@youssef1964]

Thank you for making this video I've got some ideas to use in my kayak especially the sunshade

[@seancochran8522]

Q; do you have any room for a catch bag? I like your down rigger! I’d love to make a trip back up to the PNW and troll for Kokanee!! 👍 21:27

[@pmm422]

Actually no and it is a serious pain in the backside. I love this little kayak but the lack of room is\was a serious problem so I ended up buying a larger kayak. I run a Native Titan now.

[@realcshep]

Can you please make a more detailed video on the amazing riser seat mod you created?? This video was awesome!

[@pmm422]

@ Cory Sheppard, Well the problem is that I ditched that modification for an adjustable swivel seat. The one in this video was not adjustable at all. Not something I would suggest for others. The swivel seat however is really nice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYSym3uHnNeomdE

[@pmm422]

Also I might add that maker pipe clamps work really well with this extrusion I'm sure you could extend that base pretty easy using those and some aluminum tube. makerpipe.com/collections/modular-pipe-fittings/products/t-connector

You are hilarious...and brilliant! Thank you for sharing your psychosis! 👏🏻👍🏻

NEED a video on steering mod and on peddle hole cover. Thanks wish you were my kayak buddie

[@pmm422]

Hi Susan well here is a video of my favorite mod of everything I've done, the steering mod. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Cwaqqio6h5l8U Thanks for the interest, I'll have to do one for the cover I've had it on my to-do list for a while now.

[@MustangJimmy816]

For your rod holders, did you just drilled holes on the side of the kayak? I know there are black circular tabs behind the seat for rod holder accessories but I'm thinking about drilling down those same exact holes with the black tabs and installing my own rod holders I got on amazon, what you think?

[@pmm422]

You may want those connectors some time in the future, I would leave them in tact, I'm pretty sure there is enough real-estate in that area where you can fit the "off the shelf" rod holders next to them . Mine are connected to some customized Aluminum extrusion. Check out the video I did for my outriggers, for details.

[@JerryJackson-j1p]

More detail on how you build your Sunscreen or blit looks pretty cool name more details on it

[@pmm422]

I appreciate the comment and feedback, but unfortunately I sold this Kayak and I no longer have the sunshade to fill out the details on it. The frame was aluminum extrusion I removed from a patio furniture umbrella set and the fabric was Gortex fabric purchased from Ebay.

[@darcdiego14]

I want a shade like that lol that its awesome

[@river86012]

New subscriber .. very nice walk thru…thanks!

[@pmm422]

Thanks for the sub and the feedback!

[@jerryschauer]

Thank you, I have the same kayak and have engineered some cool mods to it with PVC board...I should do a video like you did to share with everyone...

[@pmm422]

Absolutely I'm sure we would love ti see it!

[@MustangJimmy816]

You should! I just got one and interested on mods, especially for rod holders

[@kayplainsdrifter136]

Oh also, you've got a beautiful backyard!

[@toddkilby5233]

Where can I find the wide aluminum channel for the slide mounts???

[@pmm422]

For clarity which slide mounts are we referring to? the ones in the back that the outrigger mounts to is actually something I modified to work. I spent a lot of time trying to find something inexpensive and sturdy enough and just wasn't able to find anything I liked. I ended up cutting a slot with my table saw in some existing extrusion I had to make it work.

[@44Redhawk77]

The boat is looking good. Have you had any issues with corrosion on the hardware?

[@pmm422]

Thanks for the kind words Daniel. Where I can, I use stainless steel or Aluminum. There are parts that are Zinc coated but I haven't had it long enough for anything to start corroding and to date I've only had it in fresh water lakes. The zinc covered steel will start to rust and will do it a lot faster if I take it into a salt water environment. Even stainless will corrode in saltwater environment it just does it a lot slower. Ask me again in a couple of years.

[@johnpeters6191]

What do you have for the down rigger

[@pmm422]

I have a video on the Down rigger reel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV6ZqXyhibSCf8k And for the weight I use a 3 pound lead ball, it is a little on the light side but most of my fishing is done 40 feet and above so the blow-back is acceptable. I'll probably go 4lb on the next one.

[@kevinbridges9341]

Excellent and inventive

[@kia.kayakfishing8114]

Sun shades that's was next plans 👍

[@lowlifeangler]

Dude, try velcro to attach crap. I velcro 2 waterproof tackle cases together and the floor. It's a sit in kayak.

[@pmm422]

Thanks for the suggestion really appreciate it. My experience with Velcro is that when the adhesive gets hot some times the Velcro can pull the adhesive off and makes a mess but I'll re-evaluate.

[@kayplainsdrifter136]

Nice work! You got a lot accomplished on a relatively small footprint (at least compared to a PA14 😄) , especially with the downrigger. I really like the idea of the seat adjustments. Great video!

Just a tip, this video is full of info, BUT it's long and kind of boring. A quicker view of all of your things coupled with smaller videos going into detail would get you more views and subs. Great content, just needs a little better editing 👍🏾

[@pmm422]

Absolutely appreciate that feedback, I do plan on breaking out a bunch of those pieces and giving details so that will happen. I was thinking it was too long when I posted it and so it's nice to have some affirmation. Appreciate you brother!

It’s very informative …not boring
