My Viking Profish 400 Setup | How to set up a kayak for lure fishing!

[@gw6797]

Excellent set up, all very neat

[@henrycatchesfish]

Thank you kindly mate! :-)

[@geordie-drywall]

what a set up pal 👌 given me a load of things to think about lol

[@henrycatchesfish]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment! Yes definitely loads of improvements can always be made😆 I’ve seen some seriously tricked out kayaks at the competitions here

[@Metalsignman]

The one thing I would suggest you might like to add would be a stringer, clips into the backer of your insulated bag easy to slide the fish into and handy just to string the fish throw it back into the water while you sort out the gear get a line back in then sort the fish out

[@henrycatchesfish]

Hey mate thanks for the comment, that’s a good idea have thought about that but I religiously bleed my fish and leave them in in the footwell to bleed out so can get another line out while they’re bleeding so haven’t found the need for a stringer yet! But I may consider it in future

[@alanreynolds8843]

Very functional set up without mess . Lots of leashing points . A very neat package. 👌 look forward to your next video , cheers 😊

[@henrycatchesfish]

Thanks Alan! Yes lots of leash points although I don’t know if I could even have too many🤣 run out of room pretty quick with 4 rods 2 cameras and a paddle!

Great video Henry. I have the 400. Can you tell me how the garmin gt20 transducer fitted? Isn't it a bit long for the slot?

[@henrycatchesfish]

Hi Martin, yes a little bit! I used the Viking transducer fitting kit but it is kinda at full stretch on the threaded bolt because it’s outside of the slot! I’m just carful to not scrape the transducer and always use the wheels then lift the front of the kayak at the beach until it floats! Seems to work well enough for me!

You heading to the rob fort kayak event this weekend?

[@henrycatchesfish]

Sadly not bro, my mate Shaun should be there 👍🏼

[@fishinbite]

Nice vid! Did you make the suncover for the Garmin? if so, what materials did you use.

[@henrycatchesfish]

Thanks! It’s actually a Rob fort cover from marine deals

[@clevertrevor1549]

Rob Fort makes some great kit. Recommend you get some Velcro straps or some kind of lanyard on that cover to keep it attached for when youTurtle, then you won’t lose it.

[@sn00pgreen]

Do you find that fishfinder is close enough to see ok mounted on the tackle pod.. I've got a 400 and I'm debating whether to put a fishfinder there or on a scotty type arm a bit closer to me?

[@henrycatchesfish]

Hey mate, yep i find this set up works pretty well! The thing I like is that it’s low down so doesn’t get in the way of my fishing but just have to find what works for you! Can always position it and sit in your kayak on the grass at home or something and see where you feel like it’ll be comfortable for you!

[@bradwilson5038]

Hi Henry, is the wave passion cooler bag a medium(62cm long)? Looking for one for my PF400. Cheers

[@henrycatchesfish]

I think large but I can’t quite remember to be honest with you! My mate already had one and lives near wave passion so just grabbed another one for me before we went out one day

[@Tomridesandruns]

Love it Henry great video! Thanks for the shoutout too!

[@henrycatchesfish]

No worries Tom! 🤙🏼

20 MONTHS STILL AWAITTNG DEL OF MY RELOAD TO THE UK

[@henrycatchesfish]

Ah man that’s a long time! I know Viking had a fire and had to move premises and also has changed ownership I believe! Hopefully shows up for you soon they’re such wicked machines!
