Love your videos. I’m just getting started in sea kayaking, doing my research now. Ready for next spring. Would you be able to make a review on the differences with the sturgeon & supernova? I watched both build videos. But would like to hear your opinions about them both. also your full gear/kit/setup you take with you. People love setup videos and personal opinions and it also helps massively for others like myself getting started.
@onthedropfishing2 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul, thanks very much I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Yes a set up vid has been on my radar for a while it’s just a case of finding the time. I’m not sure if I’d do a specific side by side with the supernova and the sturgeon as there’s not that much between them other than the size/weight but if you have any questions just fire away. It’s an amazing way to fish and I’m sure you’re gonna love it 👍🎣
@paulkemp87842 жыл бұрын
@@onthedropfishing hey thanks. Well the supernova is more then double the price of the standard sturgeon. Would you say the price difference is worth it for the pedals? What other main difference adds to this price tag. what’s the main difference between the sturgeon and the sturgeon HV. Is it just the heigher seat position? Would you say it would be more beneficial to someone who has bulging disc and sometimes suffer from sciatica. (I know you can’t offer medical advice, just personal opinion) A gear setup video would be great! I have been writing down some of your setup I’ve seen you write to other people in comments 🙂
@onthedropfishing2 жыл бұрын
Honestly it depends what you want. I personally prefer pedal (flipper drive sturgeon and prop drive supernova) to paddling but it’s different for everyone. The supernova is a big beast and I use it when the launch is straight forward like a slip. I take the sturgeon if I don’t know the area as it’s lighter and easier to launch/put on the van 👍

Hi mate, I like them both a lot. I suppose the only thing you need to factor in is that the supernova is considerably bigger and therefore heavier. I personally prefer the prop drive on the Supernova but prefer the chuckaboutability of the sturgeon. If I’m going to an unfamiliar or a difficult launch for example I’ll take the sturgeon. If it’s a straight forward down a ramp job I’ll take the nova. Hope that helps 👍🎣
