I'm 80 years old. I bought the lifetime teton 10' I love the seat, foot holds, tracks both sides. The oeftnly negative is when I am not paddling the kayak turns itself to the left. Not a big deal. I'm 6'2" and weigh 204 lbs. I would recommend to lose the bungee cords front and back to maintain the flexibility of the cords.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

6'2", 204 lbs, 80 years old, and still kayak fishing? Man...I wouldn't have wanted to mess with you in your prime. Probably STILL wouldn't mess with you 😂 GREAT points on the Teton, Gerald. The bungee cords could be better but they're sufficient for my needs. Keep doing what your doing, sir!

[@SaskFisher]

That yak is amazing....This was my first year kayak fishing and i love it. So many places we can get to that others cant from shore and big boats cant either. Love it

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Yup! That's why I LOVE it. 👊🤨 Don't get me wrong, I'd love a bass boat as well and one day I'll purchase one. But I'll own the kayak and use it for as long as my body will let me. 👍

[@christianjensen3182]

Get a small section of pool noodle or pipe insulation and put it on the top bar of the seat and buckle it down with the seat cover straps, big improvement in comfort.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Maybe I’ll try it, however I really love it the way it is. Thanks!

[@DadLifeFishingAdventures]

That is a great review. Very honest and valuable for people looking at that kayak.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Thanks, man. Although, only 2 hours later and I’m debating on getting the Lifetime Yukon for $70 more. I had no idea that kayak was so cheap until LostAnchor fishn mentioned it. 🤦‍♂️ It IS heavier and a little bigger, but that’s a kayak that you can stand on with NO PROBLEMS (from what I’ve seen online)

Yup! Either this or the Lifetime Yukon. I didn’t realize the Yukon was so cheap. If you NEED to stand, get the Yukon. If you want extremely lightweight and speed get the Teton.

[@outinthebushnz]

Very in-depth review mate. Been considering a new kayak, this was really good

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

If you’re looking for a small kayak (50ish pounds or less) it’s tough to beat. Thanks, bud!

[@vjgyoutoob]

The bracket at the center below the seat is to attach the bottom center strap to keep the seat from sinking if it is detached from the clips/kayak. It is supposed to attach loosely so the seat can still be adjusted while attached. The bungees on the back of the seat are used to keep the seat from folding forward. I attach them to the rear storage bungee cords. Apparently some models had attachment holes on the rod holders, but mine doesn't and it appears yours does not either.

[@mikeheuer1276]

Yep. It took me a little while to realize there is a strap underneath the seat that perfectly fits that hole and secures the seat to the kayak. Funny thing is, you can see the strap in the video and how it perfectly lines up with that bracket. I initially used it for the bungee cords.

[@chrisdietrich4835]

Excellent review. Very comprehensive. Really liked that you took the time to discuss and demonstrate the STAND UP capability of this model. I also learned a lot from the demo of your setup. Thank you!

I also enjoyed your review. I bought the Teton Pro 103 . It was a little more expensive however I liked the upgrades. I have the adjustable foot rests and a center water proof hatch right in front of my seat. I agree with you about the handles however I will upgrade them if needed. I feel at 72 my years of standing up to fish are over but I enjoy the paddling on ponds. Ed Haynes

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Thanks, Ed! I hope you enjoy the upgrades on that kayak. You deserve them if you’re still paddling out there at 72 💪🤨 I hope I’m still out there doing the same thing when I’m your age 😀

This kayak is amazing. My first one ever and I picked it up for $330 on sale from $480 at Dick’s. Chair is amazing, foot rests are convenient, it’s light and can be loaded by one person. Can’t beat it for the price. Got comfortable with it and my next will be a Bonafide SS127

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

That'll be a HUGE upgrade. I saw the sale on the Teton as well and it was lower than what I bought mine for 2 years ago. I almost bought another one it was so cheap and if it goes on sale again for $329 I'm probably going to pull the trigger. Can't beat it.

[@christianjensen3182]

WOW $330, I though I got a great price at $350 back in the spring of 2020

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

@@christianjensen3182 that’s when I bought mine as well: Cinco De Mayo of 2020 👍 Dick’s keeps going back and forth with the sale. It’s back up to $479 but every other week this summer it dips down to $329. I know when it does because the views on THIS video skyrocket 😂

Thanks! I was recently informed that for $70 more you can also get a Lifetime Yukon. A little heavier. A little longer. But if standing is a priority, that would be awesome. I’m seriously considering it. I didn’t know true price gap was that small until today.

[@89Ludwigs]

Great review ! Very helpful. I'm looking at this kayak. The local Dick's has them for 479.00, but they're running a sale now with 10 or 15% off. I may pick one up this weekend. Thanks !

Dunham's currently has the Teton marked up even more then 449. Which is why I didnt chose it. I settled for the Pelican and was able to make it just as good as the Teton for less. Great point on standing in these cheaper kayaks, its all about the hookset and lack of leverage. Very good point. Tight lines bud. Ur ever Mid-Michigan waters; maybe Ill see you out there. 🎣

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Yeah! See you out there! Are you sure it was the Teton 100 at Dunham’s, though? It’s my understanding that the Teton 100 is only sold at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Maybe the one you saw was the Teton Pro 116. That’s a completely different class of kayak. Either way, thanks for watching and leaving some great input on what you use 👊🤨

[@claudexy]

great review...thanks..lol and yes, i like this kayak..:)

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Thanks! Wait til it goes back on sale if you didn’t buy it. It’s back at $479 but every other week this summer they’ve dropped it to $329. Insane Deal.

Very nice review brother!!!!! I’m sure this will really be helpful for people looking to get a yak 👍 well done!!!! I was looking forward to see how u made out standing in it. U were making me a little nervous the longer u stayed standing 🤪

@@TheMichiganFisherman oh no…..not worth it. About 5 years ago in mid November at a reservoir I launched my boat tied off to park and as I’m walking back my clip came undone n my boat was floating away. No one was around at all so I had to go swimming to my boat 🤣

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

@@bogolyskeepingitreel 🥶🥶🥶

[@mikeheuer1276]

I bought a Teton 100 during the summer of '22 on sale for $330 mostly based on the seat. The paddle didn't come with it, so that cost another $50 or so. I bought a keel protector, scupper plugs, an anchor, a couple of rod holders for the side rails, and a handheld fish finder. Loads and unloads easily on the luggage rack on top of my Trailblazer. Bought a wheeled dolly that fits through the scupper holes so I can roll it a fair distance instead of dragging it. The biggest issue I have is finding fishing holes in the local reservoir during the summer months. Helps to learn where they are and where I can put the kayak in nearby to make it an easy distance to cover by paddling. No way I would fish while standing up. Took me a couple of outings to get a good feel for balancing it while seated.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Sounds like you have everything you need! I agree about standing and fishing on this kayak. I need to do an updated video because I absolutely do NOT recommend it. It should never be done. I’m glad you like the Teton. I’ve upgraded this summer (if you’ve watched more recent videos you’ll see) but I still love my Teton and will still use it in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@ArcticExploring]

Atleast it's great to have a kayak when out fishing 😊

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Definitely nice to get away from the crowd on the bank sometimes 🤨👍

[@beardzerofishing]

That was a wonderful review bro! I settled for the Pelican special and definitely pay for it with comfort and usability. The seat is horrible and I feel it within about 2 hours like you said. It doesn't track well and at times I feel unstable enough just sitting in mine let alone trying to stand. That would be an instant trip for my gear to the depths 🤣😂! It requires alot of effort to start and stop so it definitely limits how far I'm willing to go in order to conserve energy.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Man. Sounds like a clunker 🤣👍 I’m so torn if I stay with this one, which I love, or move up to the Lifetime Yukon. I’d REALLY love to be able to safely stand even if there’s some waves but I really don’t want to trade off my speed and being able to car-top my ride. We’ll see. Right now I’m young enough where I don’t feel the need to constantly stand up and stretch. I can’t wait for your kayak review!: “Welcome to another edition of the Beard Zero Saga. Today, I’m reviewing my Pelican. It’s a piece of ****” …all said in your very easy going voice 🤣👍

[@beardzerofishing]

@@TheMichiganFisherman 🤣😂😅👍! Its coming bro!!!

[@alexfamie5255]

Good video as always. I have a Native Slayer 12 and it has pros and cons like any kayak would. But, a couple of things really stand out. The built on or in I guess, wheel on the back of the boat makes for extremely easy transport. Also, the seat that comes with the boat is very comfortable and it can be arranged in the low or high position. The storage is more than enough, but not too much if that makes sense. On the left and right of the seat there is room for one 6x9 inch box that can be strapped down if you prefer. There are two big deep storage areas, one at the front and back. It's stable, but like you said, not for a long time. Also, is that St.John's Marsh you were paddling through? I've always wanted to kayak there.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Oh man! A Slayer 12? That’s like a Lexus by comparison. 400 lb weight capacity. Nice kayak for sure, buddy. Mine can’t compete with that. Yeah, that’s St. John’s Marsh. I didn’t fish it very much this year because LSC has been on fire. It’s like Vegas…you never leave the table when you’re on a heater.

Strongly considering buying this kayak. I have a bad back, and believe the seat will be better than any sit-in kayak. However, the weight and flimsiness of the carry handles concern me. Dick's has them on sale for $350.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

For the price you can’t beat it. I still use mine. Not a kayak for big guys but if you’re about 220 or less it’s really nice. Easily the best $350 kayak out there. Not even a close second at that price. If you want to jump up in price and stability that’s a choice you’d have to make.

Awesome video man. I should do a video on the lifetime Yukon. Looks like the seats are the same and yes it is comfortable more comfortable then my last kayak..

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

I almost wish I bought one of those. If I ever upgrade a little bit, it would be to something EXACTLY like that because it’s still relatively light (78 lbs) and with a weight capacity of 350 lbs I bet you could stand up NO PROBLEM at all. I would never go bigger than that though. Looks like Walmart sells them for $529 right now. Man, that’s a good price. I’m sure I’d lose a little speed and quick maneuverability but it might be worth it. As long as I could still car top it.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Omg. Just looked at pic of yours. Is that a rolling wheel on the bottom? So cool of it is.

[@lostanchorfishn1292]

@@TheMichiganFisherman actually yeah I bought mine from duhnams at beginning of this year and got it for only 450$ that wheel on the back is good if your on a hard surface if your in sand or dirt it actually stops rolling..

[@richiec7602]

I bought the same kayak at Dicks last year on cyber Monday. It was selling for $399 at that time. Dicks was giving 25% off if you bought it online. Saved $100. Went to the store and they bought it out to me. Great deal. However, I am only 5’5” tall. I find that reaching to the front of the kayak is a little difficult for me. And although I like the gear tracks, once again they are to far away for me. I have added a couple a little closer which made it better. I also find that I can’t find a really good position for my feet. One is too close while the other is too far away. I have an idea to make it better. Otherwise, it is a great kayak.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Ah. That sucks that you’re at an in-between spot for foot comfort. 😢 Glad you got it at such a good price like I did, though. It’s such a great kayak and I’ll still be using it for all of my on-the-water videos during the 2022 season 😀👍

I'm looking to buy my 1st kayak sometime soon, and this model is close to the top of my list. I want to keep it under $500, and I plan to use it mainly for fishing, as well as some wildlife photography. Would a sit on top kayak be more stable than a sit in model as a platform for photography? I just turned 60 years old and I'm about 5'8" tall and 215 pounds.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Sit on top platforms are ABSOLUTELY more stable than sit in kayaks. Especially for what you want to do (photography) You’re not that heavy at all but you might want to look into a kayak with a slightly higher weight capacity. I’d say this kayak is the best for really lightweight guys. I’m only 180. This kayak would definitely work though. If you want to go slightly heavier the Lifetime Yukon is EXTREMELY stable and very affordable. Only downside is it weighs 20 more pounds. Hope you enjoy whatever you get 😀👍 EDIT: Sorry. The Yukon is $529. Thought it was cheaper.

[@williamallen7386]

I wouldn't buy this thing, it's junk! I was gonna pick up a couple of these for my daughter and son in law but after reading the reviews I passed. Spend a couple extra bucks and buy something that's gonna last and you'll be happy with. I have kayaks that are very stable, you can easily stand in them and fish all day long. You could never do that in this thing. One I picked up for $500.00 used, now sells for $3,400.00... shop around, there are some good deals out there.

can you remove those orange rod holders and rotate them for a different angle? Also, I'm really liking this kayak but I'm 5'10" 225lbs and am worried about pushing the capacity too close with gear etc. Think this would handle it?

They’re screwed in so I’m sure you can remove them, but if you look at the shape, it’s made to be only at that angle. The shape and contours of the boat would prohibit it being at ANY angle.

I'm looking to buy a kayak and this is one that i am considering. The only thing that I'm skeptical about is that seat. It looks like you would be sitting with your thighs at an upward angle instead of straifgt out

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

They are slightly upward. But I still find it EXTREMELY comfortable. I literally did a 12 hour day on it once with only two small breaks and I was fine. Dick’s has these on sale now for $329 and they’re normally $479. That’s not a typo. It’s an awesome sale. I might even buy another one. If you wanted to make the seat more level you could put a block of wood under the back risers. Since you’d be higher up it may affect the stability though. I’m going to try it the next time I go out and I’ll let you know. I’m gonna be doing an updated video on this kayak soon. If you want to subscribe I’ll probably put that out within the next three weeks. 👍

@@TheMichiganFisherman Now, this wouldn't be the kayak you took a dunk in LSC trying to pee-pee would it?🤔 Listen, from one fisherman to another. Sometimes we just gotta do what we gotta do, and if that involves having an oversized bottle of some sort, to make, er, certain activities easier while sitting perhaps, I know it's alot harder to flip if you aren't on your knees. All kidding aside, I'm glad you had on your PFD, and I'm glad the water wasn't frigid, and I'm glad you collected yourself enough to get back in the yak and get to safety. How fortunate for you OC just happend to be out in the same area. You and Outdoor Conquest are my two absolutel favorites to watch. Good attitude, good sense of humor, loads of knowledge..so stay safe and keep the great footage coming. Tight lines!🎣

@@alexfamie5255 thanks…but I actually WAS trying to use a Gatorade bottle. My kayak seat is in a very reclined position. Imagine sitting in a recliner and trying to pee in a bottle. You can’t because you would spill it all over yourself. I was trying to kneel so that I could have the correct angle to go in the bottle. Thanks so much for the kind words about me and Lucas. We love that you enjoy our videos too 🤨👍

@@TheMichiganFisherman Oh, man. I didn't realize you had one of those seats. I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm 6'1 around 230 so I feel your struggle on that note. Im always sitting forward just a bit when im casting but when I'm sitting relaxed I'm probably just less than a 90 degree if that makes sense. The first time I went in a yak was a 10ft sun dolphin sit inside and the challenge of peeing that day taught me alot about balance let me tell ya. 🤣

[@Midwesthookset]

I went to Dicks Sporting goods to check one of these out. Looks like itll fit my needs fine. I thought maybe the seat would have a higher position. I was surprised to see it looks like your butt sits right on the floor. I had a wilderness systems yak for a while and while it was a nice one, your butt gets wet. You ever have that problem in this one?

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Yes. That’s a negative I didn’t really talk about. If it’s a calm day it usually doesn’t happen. Rough days it happens a lot. I’d put scupper plugs underneath me but I run my transducer through the hole there. You could raise the seat with a 2x4 in the back. I tried that just last week but I didn’t like how it felt like I was leaning forward and I felt like it put pressure on my feet while they were on the footrests.

[@Midwesthookset]

@@TheMichiganFisherman good to know! I think the scupper plugs under the seat will work for me. Only thing I'm going to use it for is farm ponds. Thanks Brian👍

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

It’s a pretty good kayak for the money but I definitely don’t like standing on mine.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

No doubt. If I ever upgrade I’ll go up to the Yukon so that I can stand.

[@NIKBass]

Bought for 349.99 last week.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Yup! Awesome deal they have right now. About three times every summer they do that. I know because I see the views on this video go up. Hope you like it as much as I do. I STILL use it.

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Great review. The negative parts are as, if not more important. Silly bow handle, bad rod holders, terrible Detroit red wings team- Oh wait, that wasn't part of the review.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Hey! Watch it Dpuck!!! 😡 🤣🤣🤣 That hat is so comfortable. You’re missing out! Thanks for stopping in as always, bud!

[@nathansoutbackfishing]

Hey Michigan fishermen I have a question I entered a giveaway in America and since your in America 🇺🇸 Can the people send the lures to you and you send it to me

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

If you won a giveaway and they say the don’t ship to Australia, it’s because the shipping to Australia is insane. I’m a really nice guy…but I’m not going to pay the shipping to send someone else’s giveaway to Australia. 🤣👍

[@nathansoutbackfishing]

@@TheMichiganFisherman yeah ok man I totally understand that Thanks anyway
