@rkygriz5 жыл бұрын
You should add an anchor trolly,and a zigzag cleat. I did it to mine,and it works great. I use a 5 pound grapnel anchor. I have 50 feet of 1/4 inch rope for anchoring in deep water. I bought a rope rachet/ hanger with a carabiner that I attach to the forward eyelet to control the amount of rope that I let out.The anchor trolly has made recovering the anchor a breeze, and it allows me to position the anchor on either end of the boat. The grapnel anchor really does a great job of holding my Tamarack in place on both still and moving water. I live in Modesto,so I hit the nearby Tuolumne River on a regular basis for largemouth bass . The Tamarack handles class one and class two rapids easily. I would also recommend adding a Garmin Striker 4 fisfinder. You can install the transducer inside the hull using some Duct Seal compound to avoid having to make a mount for your boat. It's a must have when fishing in water where you can't see the bottom!And one last suggestion : If you haven't already done it,you should consider upgrading to an 8 foot (96 inches) paddle. It gives you more power, and makes paddling easier. I bought a Sea Sense Extreme for $31.00 on Walmart. Com. Much better than the 7 foot paddle supplied by Lifetime.
@NORCALRODREEL5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the recs! I was wondering if the duct seal worked for a fish finder, glad to hear it has on your boat 👍🏼
@rkygriz5 жыл бұрын
@@NORCALRODREEL If you do it, use only enough Duct Seal to cover the bottom and the sides of the transducer. Make sure that there are no air pockets. I placed mine in the skeg. It's the flattest part if the boat, and it also sits deeper in the water. You will loose the water temp,but that's not as important as being able to watch the bottom depth. As far as seeing fish, it doesn't cause a loss of signal, so, it there are fish under your hull, it will detet them. One of the nice things about the Garmin Striker 4 is that it has a built in GPS and it will even tell you how fast you're gong, which is helpful for trolling.

Received my kayak about a month ago and found a cheap round food container that is velcroed underneath the front hatch. My biggest investment was my PFD, I chose a fishing style with plenty of pockets for storage for my knife, pliers, phone in a waterproof case, scale, etc. Instead of mounting the tray on the hatch cover I am thinking of mounting some small tackle boxes velcroed one on top of the other, then I can put go to lures, baits and terminal tackle as needed depending on the fishing conditions. I plan on using a 13x19x11 crate in back for storage and installing an anchor trolley, plus upgrading the seat.

Hey there! When I first got the cart I had the same issue, I was rigging the straps wrong. I was just passing the strap directly under the kayak and car, and clipping it/sinching it down. You need to loop the strap once under the frame of the card on each side and sinch it down that way, similar to how you would sinch down the kayak if you car top it. Does that make sense? If not happy to do a video. Since I made that adjustment, I’ve had no problem with the kayak falling off or the cart moving

I keep mine unattached for a few reasons 1) The anchor in the back I use for the crate and it's be hard to fit a third bungee thru the hook to attach the seat 2) your weight keeps the seat fixed in the kayak. Mine does not move at all once I'm in. Now those two things being said, if you were to flip your kayak, you might lose your seat. That's a gamble I take but to each his own. It definitely would not hurt to attach it and run a bungee from the seat to the anchor behind the seat but you dont have to if you are just worried about the seat moving around during the day if that makes sense

The seat is a must! No need to mount it or strap it in for it to be secure. Your weight will keep it from going anywhere while you paddle and it fits the seat well great.

Thanks Dominik, much appreciated! I did not want to put a fish finder in this kayak primarily because space is limited and the bodies of water I planned to take this in were smaller, I didnt see the need to add a bunch of extra weight, time and money to put one on. I have a Vibe Seaghost now and have bought a fish finder for that since I'll be accessing a lot more water in that Kayak. From a success point of view, my take is always "it's not the plane, it's the pilot." I could have the fanciest fish finder and still not catch a fish. I do as much research as I can before going out on the water and pick where I plan to paddle and what I plan to throw based on season, weather, conditions, etc. For the most part, I've only had a few skunk days on the Tamarack because of this. Learn the body of water, throw a lot of different baits that make sense, and the fish finder then becomes a better tool because at that point you can really hone in on the fish without solely relying on your finder.

The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

I found the same thing but the site didn’t seem legit. I searched and it sounded like it was more than likely a scam site.

Mine is missing a seat altogether? Can I go straight to stadium or so I need to find oem seat first? I've had no luck finding an original seat.
