Kayaks2Fish NEXTGEN-11 Look Around & Maiden Trip

Just a quick look around my new Yak before i maiden it at the Warren Reservoir, no fish unfortunately...Hope to put up some videos when i catch fish...

[@wolvesbaine]

Love your videos old mate, just snapped one up for myself after um'ing and ahhh'ing then your videos sold me on it so I thank you 👍

[@doobieau4485]

Great video Chuck. Counting down the days to warmer months :)

[@philk3453]

Great to see you see back chuck!

[@Ahkeys82]

Awesome. Looks so fun

[@matk4731]

Nice bit of kit. Good to see a video mate. That looks like a great way to spend a day. Too many crocs up here for one of those.

[@larasfishingchronicles9301]

I have the the same kayak well is a Vanhunks Mai Mai same exact hull and probably fins I'm having problems with my drive popping out have you had any problems with that? Maybe if I could find a new blank box for it again

[@Ziet1]

Hi I may have missed something here... but are you not doing any more RC videos I really looked forward to them ( UK subscriber)

[@tyik]

I saw you lifted up the pedal drive when approaching the shore. Are they not retractable? How does it compare to Hobie drive?

[@milkshakemuncher]

No, they're not retractable like the hobie blades when they bump things in the water. The pedal system can be unclipped and lifted out though. From watching other videos, the pedal system is identical to the first Hobie mirage systems, including internal parts when pulled apart. Hobie let their patent expire, which other companies were quick to pounce on getting the design and making it themselves. Now Hobie have come up with and patented the retractable blades and also their 360° drive.

Good vid mate, how do you like it now after 6 months? Is there anything you dont like about it?, cheers

[@ChuckTSeeker]

does what i want it to do and at a price i could afford. I had the rudder problem but they have fixed this with the new shipment...

[@AdriftFishing]

bloody hell is that you chuck? man haven't seen you about in ages! i just googled this kayak and he thumb looked familiar lol! thanks for the review man just what i was looking for

[@ChuckTSeeker]

Cheers Mate, who's Adrift Fishing haha Yes hope to do a few other videos soon. Have filmed fitting the Yak Attack Anchor Trolley and a Garmin Striker 7sv hope to have them up soon..

[@AdriftFishing]

That’s a good point. John walkley. Used to bump into you a bit up the creeks when with Darren fishnuts. Old skool man. Haven’t seen you pop up since the old strike hook days lol!

[@ChuckTSeeker]

@@AdriftFishing Ahh John! Yes remember you well mate, a great fisherman and still doing it by the looks. Glad to see you are still enjoying and sharing. NZ what a buzz the fishing there is awesome! Subscribed to your site and will be watching a few of your adventures..

[@AdriftFishing]

ChuckTSeeker R/C Reviews Fishing + Much more.... haha awesome Chuck. Yeah ns a few weeks ago I was talking to dazz and you came up and I was saying man I haven’t headed or seen anything from that guy in years.. I wonder what he has been up to.. well now I know haha! Cool man, yeah Nz has been sweet I’ve been here on off for the last few years doing some study and stuff but heading back end of this year, as the family is still there but this COVID situation has stopped the holidays back home. But that’s 2020 for you. Looking forward to get back though and get into the south oz fishing again. Doesn’t compare to Nz in some ways but makes up for it in diversity

[@thebluepill1496]

Hey Chuck, do the trolley wheels come as standard equipment with the Nextgen-11?

[@ChuckTSeeker]

No mate! They were $89 from memory, although i think you get a discount if you buy them with the yak...

[@4thGloryMonday]

the colder the water the slower u fish ur bait

[@FenderRealm]

How tall are you Chuck? I've been thinking of buying one of these but I'm 6"2 and worry I'll have my knees around my ears!

[@ChuckTSeeker]

5' 11" and you won't have any problems! The pedals are adjustable as is the seat! I have my seat 3" from the front and it can go back another 5" so plenty of adjustment there..

[@FenderRealm]

@@ChuckTSeeker Brilliant, thanks mate! She looks nice and stable, look forward to getting mine!

[@travisrooth6350]

Hey mate I just brought a Next Gen 11 and just wondering how you lock the peddle system in ? I can't figure out how to lock it in ?? Any help would be appreciated Cheers Travis

[@ChuckTSeeker]

You have to press it down into the black plastic holder and then push it forward into the L bit! It took me a bit to get it in but if you look first to see how it has to go and then try to pull it into place. I did one side at a time into the L bit! Then you just need to undo the 4 clips to put it in and out each time

[@travisrooth6350]

Awesome cheers Chuck, I'll give it another go today, looking forward to getting on the water :)

[@travisrooth6350]

Hey Chuck it just don't seem like it is going low enough to get into the L bit, should I just push harder, I'm pushing pretty bloody hard lol

[@ChuckTSeeker]

@@travisrooth6350 yes it took me a couple of go's, mine was a tight fit to. I pushed it down first and as I said before then pulled it into the L. Try holding the top and bottom of the unit on one side and pull it into place. It's why I asked on the kayaks2fish page on Facebook if people leave it in the plastic part. Which most said they do.

[@travisrooth6350]

Awesome cheers Legend, will try what you said now, thanks heaps mate, appreciate it :)

[@PaoloGrassipassions]

Hi Chuck! When you’ll put on some more airplane video?

[@ChuckTSeeker]

Horizon Hobby sold out to an investment company and they stopped sending planes to us! So there will only be a few R/C plane videos when i visit events or buy a new plane myself!...

[@ledomengineering]

@@ChuckTSeeker I was wondering what happened to you. Now I know. Nice video!

[@matk4731]

@@ChuckTSeeker Year Horizon are pricing them selves out of the market lately. What happened to Modelflight won't they toss you a plane or two to review?

[@derekwilson1784]

Hey chuck. Do you still think the kayak is OK. I'm thinking of getting the nexgen11

[@ChuckTSeeker]

Hi Derek sorry but i have still only been out the once in it and found it was a great Kayak that day. I have been fitting it out and waiting for some good weather as it's been terrible down this way! Heading out tomorrow for a day on the ressie with it now all set up how i want it! Will give you a message tomorrow night to let you know how i went!

[@derekwilson1784]

@@ChuckTSeeker OK thanks for that. Have a good day out. I have the next gen 9 and want to upgrade to the nextgen 11 with pedals. Do you think the pedals are quality enough to last a few years? .

[@gsfishing5384]

im thinking about getting one of these mate how do u rate em tho?

[@ChuckTSeeker]

I like mine and for the money it will do what i want to do!..

[@gsfishing5384]

@@ChuckTSeeker im thinking about getting one and selling my little dragon im a big fella myself so i feel like something a bit longer and wider might be a bit more stable for someone like me

[@zapking1918]

you can just pull out the drive by its self not with that black box mount bit

[@fishingforfun2926]

yes you can man iv got one of the exact same kayak and you can leave the black box in it has 4 tabs that lock in the black box the drive clips in independent with two easy to release latches thats normally how i do it, leave the box in and just put the drive in and out

[@richardq7290]

WTF is that clunking when your pedaling? Is that the pedal drive rocking in its cradle or the flippers hitting the hull? it would annoy the crap out of me.
