Kayak Setup for Bass Fishing | Hobie PA14 360

[@AlexRuddFishing]

*What are some video topics you guys want to see covered in a future video? Let me know below* 👇🏻 On a side not. The net linked is the closest equivalent I could find because they don’t make the long handled version of my net anymore.

[@spudman_fishing]

Could you talk about the whole dead water deal? Guys are always talking about finding fish but what are the causes of dead water and why are certain areas more productive than others even if there is similarities between areas?

[@dennisgraham4967]

Nothing specific, but I truly appreciate your honesty, especially when it comes to products . If it's junk or overpriced you tell it like it is and that is something the fishing industry needs to hear and consumers like us need to know. Great job Beard! Keep them coming!

[@MrBassTV]

Nice set up. I really loved my PA14. It’s a great boat. Definitely need the power pole though

[@tlashley]

Pick you up one of the G2 floating nets. Has bigger holes in the rubber netting and doesn’t snag all your hooks!

[@richardsousa2625]

Yes. Rigging videos are my JAM

[@sinisterblue01camaro]

Man, You just really helped me simplify how I want my yak set up. Just getting started with kayak fishing but this really helped. Thanks bro...

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’m glad! Thanks for watching boss!

[@sinisterblue01camaro]

Yeah man.. Always!

[@bassbarge]

The wiring is simple dude, I just did mine today, took me 1.5 hours to finish

[@BCKA]

I have the Jackson big rig. It's 140lbs boat only. I use wheels that the boat lays on to move that dead weight. Scupper holes are the weakest part of the boat and a hard lesson to learn if they crack. Thanks for the video. It sure does look nice w all that floor space. Bret SYOTW

[@EricRomines]

Simplicity = efficiency. I like it! If and when I get another kayak, it’ll be set up simple…. Not like my others I had with all the bells and whistles.

[@stacenhartland9777]

Sweet! Now let’s get to cracking em! Thxs

[@zoommaster7253]

Just picked up Hobie lynx. Great ride and fishing makes it easy

[@Bsing2011]

Love seeing kayak videos!

[@bplante75]

I just bought a PA14 yesterday and haven’t bought any accessories yet. Thanks for the video.

[@Ozark_Bill]

Great info

[@TWC6724]

I absolutely love the horizontal rod storage on these PA’s. Just wish they weren’t so expensive however, if you’re going to get a Hobie you might as well get the 360 over the 180. I can’t justify a high cost if it can’t easily go in reverse like a pedal drive.

[@nickparrinello3302]

Nice new toy!

[@rosscampbell4884]

MB rocks

[@nicholasegart6895]

Just found the channel man good stuff! Loving the kayak videos

[@Dave_Ehlers]

hey Alex rather than the duct tape to fix your net, get yourself some Great Stuff Pond & Stone. It's a water resistant expanding foam. Just spray a little bit in the handle, and it should expand and seal up the opening.

[@corywhite6098]

Hey brother. Love the videos. Keep em coming

[@blackhat155]

You should check out a two drawer craftsman versatrack to put under the seat. Fits perfect, easy to strap down, and easily customizable for at your fingertip tackle organization.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Just looked it up. Seems interesting. I just wonder how much I would use it transferring tackle from boat to kayak as much as I do.

[@jbclouser]

Very nice unit good vid I like simple!

[@dkingofimages]

Thanks for the info, Im saving up for a Hobie PA 14 360 and I hope have it next summer (2022)

[@willjunkin732]

Was hoping you would do this video. I only have a kayak and did just put electronics on mine. Got a good deal on 1 at bass pro. Don't have a Hobbie but one day 🤞you gave me some ideas I can do to mine.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

👊🏻

[@LowellFrancisco]

Cool setup!😃👍

[@SneakersAnonymousMatt]

All u have to do with the net to fix that hole in the end is take some expanding foam and fill it in there an it will seal it off an also give some more floatation just a little tip if u want to do that it's easy.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

That’s a good idea!

[@stephenmorgan6951]

Get my first monster bass box delivered tomorrow

[@victorxavier9977]

Nice setup 👍👊

[@Sanctified_EDC_Gear]

Great 👍 Video Alex!!! Hey I was thinking, you could use that Fence Post Driver i spotted on the Ground/Gravel near your Hobie PA360 as a Anchor, that hold that Big OL Heffer of a Hobie on your Honey Hole. 😂 My Native Slayer Max Propel 12.5 ain't so light neither loaded down so I get it for sure. Love All your content Alex Thank You. 😎👍

😂😂😂 can you imagine me out in the middle of a river just digging away.

[@jerryvalentour164]

Makes me want to buy kayak to take river fishing

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s a ton of fun man!

[@MattLaClear]

New sub here. And yeah, your beard is cool.

[@treylewismusic]

What length rods do you use in that thing?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I use my normal rods that I use in my boat.

[@KretzOAR]

Why did you get rid of the Autopilot? Would you say the 360 is better than the autopilot? Thanks

[@AlexRuddFishing]

There isn’t a why it was more of a want for something new. It’s hard to compare them it’s like apples to oranges.

[@tangotango1340]

I really love my PA14 and PA 12 up until the belt on the clutch broke. Still waiting to see how Hobie will handle the problem.

[@texoutdoors]

Man I need one 😤

Ur cute ☺️

Good afternoon I’m in the market for new fishing kayak so do like you hobie better then auto pilot you have . I’m going back in forth between the auto pilot and pro anger 14

hi where dit you buy the phone holder

[@DominusEstOK]

Who came for the fishing but stayed for the beard?

[@thechaun]

Great video. I wish I could justify 5K on a kayak. They are real nice.

[@delltas08]

Sometimes you buy what you want in life and live. In Australia, they are just under $8k add a trailer, sounder, and accessories and you are over $10k

[@LesgoBrandon7]

You didn't show where to keep the beer and ice.

[@dennisgraham4967]

No leashes for the rods when they go in the tubes? I am terrified of losing one if I tip or snag a tree .

[@michaelvalentine2737]

I’ve seen other videos where people have had issues with the 360 drive. Have you had any trouble? I’m hoping to get a pedal kayak soon. I don’t want to spend that kind of money only to have problems.

[@mikejacques8863]

Not to be an asswipe but as a fellow hobie owner I’ve been told by a bunch of people that storing it on the cart deforms the scuppers over time especially if it’s in a hot environment- I had mine setup the same way you do and hobie told me if there was any deformation it voids your warranty. I’m going to grab a flattop utility cart from uline so I can roll it back and forth into the truck bed and as long as you spread the weight out it won’t hurt it. I stole the idea from Blanchard. TBH I’m just terrified of hurting a $5000 chunk of plastic lol

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Cool. I didn’t know that. I was told not to store it flat on the gravel by dealer I bought from.

[@mikejacques8863]

@@AlexRuddFishing same here; amazing they can sell $5k dollar kayaks but don’t know much about them

[@Daniel_Tucker]

[@rodroyal1779]

Water was up 3'. Didn't see a stump. Tore wires out of transducer. Not repairable. Hummingbird 979c SI. Transducer cost $190.00. probably 13 years old. Ouch. Kayaks go even shallower.

[@williammcdaniel3296]

You have any issues with the 360drive squeaking while you pedal? I've heard several people complain about them starting to squeak while in use and Hobie doesent apparently offer any type of actual fix.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’ve personally not had any issues but the dealership I bought mine from went over a list of fixes the engineering team has made to the 2021 drive.

[@ScottFive1234]

FYI, a few of your links in the description are not working (going to 404 pages). May want to check that.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Which ones?

[@retflo2583]

Nice yak, but where can I get that HAT? Stupid Sic and I need one

[@delcrowell1273]

Seal the end of your net, with a pvc cap.

[@macking4942]

How is that net handle wrapped??

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I bought it that way so not sure.

[@paralysisbyanalysis6607]

When you go to Ross to shop for clothes grab a Samsonite car driver / desk chair cushion 👊

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I don’t think we have a Ross around here.

Just a curiosity but did you sell or give away your old town?

Sold it.
