I WAS about to purchase something else (Pelican) but this video has COMPLETELY changed my mind. I trust your opinion, and everything you’ve told me about Feelfree Kayaks has showed me that they’re the company to go with. The reason I trust YOU over other people is because unlike some people that brag about kayaks they use, you actually FISH out of yours WEEKLY and have been doing so for YEARS. Great review.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thank you for stopping and watching Bryan. You won’t be disappointed with FeelFree their kayaks are great as well as their customer service department. Appreciate ya!🤘🏼

[@MrFishBlood]

I'm sold as well... Definitely going to buy!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@MrFishBlood I reached out to them and will update you guys ASAP. I’ll try to tag you both and them as well

[@MrFishBlood]

@The Outdoor Conquest that's awesome. Keep us updated! I've decided I'm buying either way, but it would be sweet to get you some sales credit... Especially since you're on their team.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@MrFishBlood I appreciate you brother

[@86kamehameha]

I wish the Feel Free Moken 10 PDL had the option of putting your paddle on either side of the kayak. Sucks because you can only place your paddle on the right side for the Moken 10. Nice review though.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks a lot for stopping and watching! I appreciate it!

[@andreivolkov7645]

Расскажи,как ломается пластик на полу от нагрузки задней части сиденья 😢

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks for watching!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Great walkthrough brother. Very detailed. At first I wasn’t sure about those flush areas near the bow but I can see the possibilities are endless there. And that gravity seat looks 🔥🔥🔥 Great job my guy.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks bro! The flush areas worked GREAT for my graph and anchor wizard. Great kayak through and through

[@duntelltv9922]

Why did you stop fish with the big fish 108 ?

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

The only thing I didn’t like about the Big Fish was lack of storage space. Honestly it’s still one of my favorite kayaks I’ve ever fished from and would buy another.

[@alexchliwnyj5941]

Great review. In my opinion this is the finest fishing kayak on the market. The seat is super comfortable and V2 has the high back. I am almost 70 and in a couple of years I will buy the motor so I don't worry about getting back to the dock after a day of fishing. The motor is expensive but doesn't take up any space on the boat like an add on motor. To switch to motor you push it in a couple of inches and the pedals disengage, hold the buttons and pop it back 2 inches to pedal. After doing months of research, last year I bought two of these used in great condition because the couple I got them from were switching to Hobie. You need to grease the overdrive unit after a few trips and it takes lots more grease than you would think. There is a video for greasing it on youtube. The flat circles on the front are for mounting a stand up bar that FeelFree sells. Other kayaks don't have flat spots so you have to use shims. I am going to make my own based on several designs on youtube because I want the exact fit for me. The wheel is great on a boat ramp, but I ended up buying a cart for longer bank launches. When I broke the 8 ball unloading the first time FeeFree was very responsive and the part was inexpensive.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks a lot for stopping watching and leaving an awesome comment! It’s comments like these that keep me in the content creation game. I also still really enjoy my Lure 11.5 V2 and also the Dorado V2. Both phenomenal kayaks by FeelFree. Thanks again!

[@f.a.r.outdoors6094]

Great review brother, very nice setup and I can’t wait to see how you do on your first fishing trip! Tight lines 👊🏻💥💯🎣

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks bro!🤘🏼🤘🏼👀

[@pitchkapizda8355]

I like it

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@TracksideRacingNetwork]

So question. Now that you have used this kayak how stable is it. i got out of kayak fishing for a bit but ready to jump back in. and i can buy this one just wanna know if its stable. ive had lots of kayaks. just wanna hear iyo

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

To be honest it’s a great stable kayak for smaller people or kids. I can stand and fish in it but it also is very tipsy. It’s the only kayak I fully flipped over and out of while fishing

[@TracksideRacingNetwork]

@@TheOutdoorConquest understand that im 5'7 and 220lb i should be okay for now til i can upgrade a little more

[@DetroitFishigan]

This is a awesome video on the install of everything 💯. Lol time to get big. Thanks for the video and until the next one ✌🏼 buddy 🤝🏼

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Thanks for taking the time to stop and check it out man! Was kind of long winded BUT I appreciate ya always!🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@davelips]

Had my V2 Lure for about a year now.. there are several frustrating things about it, and if I had waited 6 to 9 months to buy it, could have saved like $300 cuz they dropped the price significantly in 2023. As of today, there are better and more affordable options out there. Buyer beware, they have great marketing and customer service but the kayaks are substandard. 1. Pedal drive is inefficient and difficult to deploy. It also takes up alot of room on the deck and is rather noisy. Outdated tech in my opinion compared to what's out there now. 2. The wheel in the keel is useless when you have the beaver tail rudder installed as the base of the rudder drags on the ground when you lift up the front of the kayak. 3. Very heavy and difficult to manage the kayak for one person. And is ackward without a kayak cart. 4. Unitrack requires adapters for all yakattack accessories. Also needs more built in tracks for riggability throughout. 5. You have to install practically everything yourself when it's shipped, unless you have a dealer nearby.. which I did not. 6. The gravity seat slips and has dropped me to the floor and scraped my heels a couple times, seems like it's finnicky and requires constant adjustment on the springs and tensioners. 7. The hull leaks a little but, probably at the fastener/strap points throughout the boat, so you always end up with a little bit of lake water in the advertised dry hatch. 8. Back end of the boat sits very low in the water when you're loaded with gear, I think they built the design with not enough buoyancy in the rear of the hull.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

I can agree with most of these statements.

[@XyZDemise]

The back end of the kayak sitting low is the most frustrating thing for me. You can't put more than 50lbs in the back of the kayak without it sitting low enough for water to leak in through the drain plug. Really annoying. I have a 30lb 100ah lithium battery in a battery box that sits in their along with my milk crate and rods/ rod holder.

[@XyZDemise]

The oldtown auto pilot 120 could probably handle 100lbs of gear in the back without dropping the back end significantly

[@davelips]

@@XyZDemise wish I would have gone with an Old Town to start with. They're product looks awesome, and is reasonably priced.

[@XyZDemise]

@davidlippitt7012 Same. Wish I would have went with an Old Town or Native

[@Paulybuck]

Tried to sneak one in on me. Great review and great news on the fishing team!!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

😂😂 I’ve been holding onto this one for a couple months…kind of long winded but I had to get rid of it because they’re will be another kayak review coming up *HINT HINT*

[@Paulybuck]

Snow!!! What the heck

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@Paulybuck crazy!

[@LovingIdaho]

You dont want to put lock tight on peddles if you plan on using the hardcase.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

That makes for a good point. Although I don’t think I personally would ever use the case but for anyone that would that’s a good idea.

[@LovingIdaho]

@@TheOutdoorConquest since I have bad knees and hips , I rigged mine up a little different a few years ago .I bought mine in 2016 . The perfect. kayak for me . I have put the wires in the hull since video . Also added a downrigger and a few other things . kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6SreaGhlrKGeZo

[@DaveGrohlsillegitimateChild]

I have the slightly larger model and my dry well lid catches on the pedal drive. I cant digure out where jt isnt sitting flush to avoid the lid hangup

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

I made some adjustments to the pedal drive and am good to go now. Maybe a few tweaks is all you need to help it adjust some.

[@jasonanddawnoutdoors8595]

Great review man I really appreciate it. I just purchased me the exact same one in desert camo. I haven’t got in the water yet. Can’t wait to catch some fish on it. Thanks a lot for the review.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

I appreciate you stopping and watching! I think you’ll really like it!

[@pendragofan]

that pedal system seems like a giant pain if you remove it to car top i prefer the ease of my moken 10

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

It’s actually not. I can install and remove it in seconds

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Tat looks awesome brother! I can't wit to see it on the water!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼thanks brother!

[@kylebuschfan3228]

I have a little question for you, do you think the front hatch could fit a rid inside of it, I am really torn apart between this one, the OT sportsman and the bonafide ss107. Thank you

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

I can confirm that you can fit multiple rods in the front hatch. I tried it with a rod sock on and they definitely fit a 7ft rod

[@kylebuschfan3228]

@@TheOutdoorConquest thank you

[@sosaerial]

Can I use that 8 ball mount on a V2 2020 Lure?

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

That I’m unsure of? If your on Facebook check out the FeelFree owners group and someone will have an answer I’m sure!

[@sosaerial]

@@TheOutdoorConquest I’m on it and never saw that mount until today. I’ll go back and search and call feelfree on Monday. Great review!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@sosaerial thank you Dan!

[@RealDirectorofAwesome]

I'm sold... Again. Is it time to retire my Big Fish?

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Hold that thought. This boat was the one I was in at the beginning of the year. I’ve been fishing from a new one the last 2 months and if I know you you’re going to like what the Dorado 125 V2 has to offer…..but I do miss my big fish 108 also honestly

[@RealDirectorofAwesome]

@@TheOutdoorConquest oh Lord. I'll be calling you for a consultation. The Dorado V2 looked AWESOME on the website... But it's really hard to pin down the pros and cons of each when there is no one locally who sells them. Internet shopping is dangerous 🤣

[@RealDirectorofAwesome]

@@TheOutdoorConquest also... I'm coming north with t-shirts and my boat. We gotta make it happen. I promised your brother he could watch me do eight-balls from the top of my peddle drive while fishing and talking bad about people on video 🤣 #Doitfortheviews

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@RealDirectorofAwesome watch us******

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@RealDirectorofAwesome the Dorado 125V2 is my favorite out of all the boats I’ve been in. Pedal drive is like a caddy that also has an option to drop a motor into (which o also have) it’s pre wired for the motor and fish finder. Has an awesome battery box that’s removable AND very sweet interior blue lighting
