Fishing Kayak Complete Rigging and Setup: Hobie Revolution 13

[@BigShticks]

I love how simple your setup is. Incredibly streamlined. Everything has a purpose. Minimal fluff. It’s all very well thought out. I particularly like how you stow everything prior to beach landings. Especially breaking down your rod & reel. It all made perfect sense. So many useful takeaways in this video!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Let me know when you are ready for action LOL

[@BigShticks]

MooMoo Outdoors Soon brotha, very soon!

[@JUNationFishing]

Very nice. I've purchased a fishing kayak last year, but it has not seen water. LOL. I'll refer back to this video when I'm getting ready to do some kayak fishing. Thx! 👍🙏🎣⚒

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Let's get out on the yaks 😉

[@ejkim4813]

Very cool Moo. It’s always interesting to see how others setup their yak. Keep up the good work.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks

[@kayakfishingcouple8866]

Great instruction about putting everything away prior to surf landing including fishing reels.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Wouldn't want to lose a hawg trough or anything LOL

[@rodgraff1782]

I didn’t want any snags on my rails so I installed Scotty gear mounts, with quick release buttons, sideways, on the vertical wall inside the netted compartments. I have four mounts for a Minnie downrigger, two rod holders, and a fish finder hooked up to the Scotty mounts, with adjustable arms. There is still room in the compartment for small tools. The boat has been very successful catching Eagle Lake Trout, we are going again at the end of August. Same boat, Revo 13, with new MD 180 drive. Love it.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Revo 13 is an awesome kayak. By far, my favorite pedal kayak. I used to have 3 scotty base on my Revo 11 but wanted a little more versatility. I don't have any snag issue.

[@GoTrails]

Great work, thanks for sharing ... Have a wonderful day!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks 😊

[@Sportsman101]

Wow that is quite a set up you have there, a large portion of it went over my head 😆. You’re able to fit a lot of gear on that Kayak!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You should try it some time. It's a blast.

[@Theophilus1968]

I like using the paddle leash for rod holders on return trip through surf. Great idea!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I almost broke my rod when I flipped last time when my rod was sticking up and I know many people who broke their rod because of it.

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

Thanks for sharing your setup Moo! Reminds me I need to get a whistle.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Hope to fish with you soon.

[@Fishing247]

Wow. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to kayak fishing, he will buy a kayak, a car to transport a kayak, rods, fish finder, PFD, whistle, knife, nets, wetsuit, hooks, lines, more rods and reels, rod holder, go pro, radio, and a second and third kayak., Then lures, baits, gas, sand wheel, straps, parking fee, but the most important of all is his happiness. Happy fisherman=happy life.

[@israelrivas134]

So organized man wish I had a Hobie now lol

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Do it 😂🤣

[@arkster00]

Hey Moo. How did you add the scotty lake troller mounting bracket on the right side wall of the kayak? I noticed that when mounting the bracket on the right sidewall of the kayak, the notch only allows for the lake troller downrigger to be mounted with the arm facing inside the kayak. Did you grind the notch off? I"m trying to figure out the right way to do this since I can't figure out a way to mount it on the sidewall so that when I fit in the downrigger, the arm is positioned to the outside (to the right of the kayak).

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You are right the arm has to face inside the yak. Is that going to be a problem for you? I kind of like it this way so that it guarantees that the downrigger doesn't pop out by accident when changing the angle.

[@arkster00]

@@MooMooOutdoors The only thing is that I can't fish with it facing inside since the weight would be in the kayak haha. But with the way the Scotty 241 mount bracket is designed, if you were to transfix the bracket on the right sidewall of the kayak, the laketroller can only be inserted with the arm facing the wrong way. If I grind off the notch, I could make it fit. But I was curious how you managed that.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You can turn it 360.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Insert it half way and turn the downrigger in any direction then lock it in by inserting it all the way

[@arkster00]

Thank you for the insightful video Moo. My goal is to get a revo 13 next year. Don’t be surprise if my set up will be identical to yours 😀, hopefully I get to see you and tla out in the water and get a chance to fish with you guys one day.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You know how I feel about the Revo 13 hehe. See you on the water.

[@vounnarath628]

Wow. That’s a lot of gear and mounts on that kayak. I also got a revo13 as a 2nd kayak. Coming from a wider and more roomy kayak (old town predator pdl) I run into the issue of where to put my stuff. I guess I just have to learn to not bring every thing haha. Just the lures and gear for species I’m targeting

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yeah I don't like to carry a lot of gear. 90% of the time just one rod.

[@jeremiahsonne820]

Did you have to install a port next to your gear hatch for your camera arm?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I used the existing sail mount for diy pvc mount

Very good video. What is the name of the wheels and where can I buy them?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

C-Tug Kayak Cart. Many places have them.

[@wingnutbert9685]

A C-tug review would be good too. Do you find it loosens or slips back while dragging across rough terrain, sand or up/down hills? Thanks!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes I'll do a review on the C-tug in the future. So far it has not slipped.

[@alaskanadventures4289]

Hey moo. I’m asking about a kayak. I am 17 years old 5’10” 140, pretty small dude. I fish in Alaska. I live here and will primarily be fishing in lakes and mainly in and out of secluded bays in the ocean. ( such as prince William sound). I will be trolling for salmon, jigging and bottom fishing for halibut, rockfish, and lingcod. I will definitely not kayak when the swell and chop is bad. I definitely want a motor or peddle drive. My budget is around 2500 give or take a few hundred. The kayak also needs to be relatively light because I will be car topping on my bronco as well as topping it on a c-dory and getting a kayak on that is a pain in the ocean . I also would like it to be stable because I will be spearfishing from it as well so I need to easily be able to get in and out. I like old town and what they do but I am not secluded to them. What are your thoughts on a good kayak for my style. Kayak fishing is new to me as well. Thanks! It means a lot.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Hobie Compass is another good option. It's light, stable and around 2k.

[@tonyguevara8080]

MooMoo Outdoors, Hi Moo, I also live in the Bay Area and looking into getting into the sport for ocean and bay fishing and crabbing. The compass has been on the top of my list but in recent days wondering if it’s best to get a used Outback or Revo13. Any thoughts?

[@squidpeanut]

How do you like revo comare to outback? I have to cartop too.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Revo all the way. Only time I would consider outback is when I want to stand up and fish.

[@boun_basstics]

What size gaff do you use

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I haven't measured it but it's about 30 inches.

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

Couple of questions (now that I'm thinking about getting a kayak for fishing): Have you ever flipped in the ocean/how likely is that? What's the weight/height limit on this? Is it do-able if you're 5'8" 225 lb - 6'2" 295? How long did you practice kayaking before you felt comfortable adding fishing to all of the staying-afloat activities?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I have not flipped in the ocean other than while surf launching and surf landing. Flipping is not very common but it can and will happen eventually. That's why I recommend all safety gear that I mention in my safety video. This kayak, Revo 13, has max capacity of 350 lbs which means it's really made for someone 250 or less. Once you get used to the kayak after a handful of times in freshwater and after self-rescue practice, you are good to go. Check out my safety videos.

[@Viper_Poker]

Hey Moo how well does a Kayak handle an electric trolling motor and is it even worth the effort?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Electric motor works well in the lakes but out in the Ocean it's more of an assist rather than completely relying on it.

[@catrunes666]

Hey Moo, how does the c tug fit under the revo? Looking to swap from a hobie 2trax with beach wheels as I dont like flipping it after it's been rigged up

[@MooMooOutdoors]

It fits great. I was hesitant to buy hobie trax for years because of flipping the kayak when it's fully loaded. However, c-tug beach wheels are not as good as trax 2-30 wheels. I think it good as small wheels. There is an adaptor for the big wheels though.

[@mrb401]

Nice Moo. How much tougher has it been loading and unloading vs the old R11?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Not too bad. Extra 5 lbs do make difference though. If a kayak is more than 75, I really struggle because of my back and shoulder issue.

[@normd9910]

Man you're the best.
