Have had my Predator PDL almost 2 years now, still really enjoy the kayak!

[@fishingwcp]

That’s a badass setup!

[@OCOutdoorsman]

I bought my Big Water back in September of last year; used to have a Hobie - glad I made the switch!

[@OCOutdoorsman]

@BostownSkinn I can’t speak for the other Old town models but the BigWater 132 is very stable and easy to stand up on

[@toYOder]

@@OCOutdoorsman i dont know about the stability of the bigwater 132 pdl but i have the bigwater 132 non pdl and it is not stable. I wouldnt fish it standing up unless i plan on swimming that day. I know the seat is different on both those models too. The non pdl has a low/ high position while the pdl is the high seating position only. While in high position on my non pdl bigwater my little dropped his phone and when reaching for it he went swimming so yea i dont think the bigwater is built for stability but for speed. Stability is probably its weakest point imo.

Awesome brotha..... waiting on mine to get delivered. Should be between April 28th and May 4th and super pumped

[@shred5]

Nice setup. This is one of the kayaks I am considering

[@Steady_Stick]

Nice job on the video 👍

[@daveshaw1802]

Nice thanks for the information

[@HuyFishin]

Thanks Jeff! Just surfin the web looking for idea to do on my bigwater lol great job!

[@JeffMalott]

Thank you

[@randycreason3399]

Nice rig.

[@donnieanderson2682]

I love the BigWater PDL. Here are some must mods. Mods from Navarre Kayak Fishing: Bolt to stiffent the rudder Steering handle replacement, old one not required with rudder bolt upgrade Floating Prop Nut Transducer mounts if you have a brand other than Hummingbird Other mods: (Some type of anchor system based on your conditions or preferences) Anchor Trolley system Scotty Anchor lock Other than that it's personal preference for rod holders, fish finders, crates, lights, etc... If money is no object. Oneobjective bow mount for trolling motor. Add a trolling motor with spot lock.

[@JeffMalott]

awesome stuff, thanks for sharing

[@Larry77777]

Hey Jeff: That's luxury right there! (The only thing you're missing is your first T ha ha)

[@JeffMalott]

Requested a new set LOL ... Unsure how that one came off

[@earlybirdadventures8677]

[@kevinmalott9625]

Thanks for the video Jeff. I currently own a sportsman 120 paddle and I’m considering upgrading to the big water 132 or autopilot. I’m leaning more towards the 132 for the speed. Also want to troll for walleye on Lake Erie.

[@JeffMalott]

Wait ... are we cousins or something lol

[@kevinmalott9625]

@@JeffMalott lol all depends if you have any relatives from Ontario Canada

[@tlashley]

Love the rig! I’d love to see the details on your session setup. I donated a GoPro to the river swapping out a battery a couple weeks ago. Also think I need one of those YakSacks! Also, if you get a chance let me know the dimensions of your plastics box that fit under your seat.

[@JeffMalott]

Will do man

[@paulbunyun3663]

when?@@JeffMalott

[@randychappell5955]

I'm getting ready to purchase a ysk. I caint afford the Pro Angler I wanted. Maybe the predetor with the upgrades will work?

[@kevindonovan5274]

Great info thanks from the predator to the bigwater what ones faster and is it a big difference?

[@JeffMalott]

Identical hull, equal speed, basically just a rebrand

[@kevindonovan5274]

@@JeffMalott thank you

[@Criscuolo94]

Can the rear track mounts support BooneDox landing gear?

[@JeffMalott]

I've seen people do it, puts some flex on em though Probably work best of reinforced somehow

[@chuckmatses6803]

When will they make a 10’ or 11’ model? These are much too large for the waters I fish.

[@KayakBassNation]

They have a 10.5 ft sportsman pedal yak for smaller waters

[@BobBohner4851]

What airplane prop you got on it? Why? Thanks

[@JeffMalott]

That's on my autopilot

[@paulbunyun3663]

no registration decals on the bow

[@JeffMalott]

So

[@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118]

Carrying 10 rods is simply and overly excessive.

[@JeffMalott]

I understand that opinion

[@wait4dl]

@@JeffMalott i am seriously looking at the 132 for my first yak, will be fishing the too-lies one the river in yuma az , your opinion pls my first yak ,have had several boat over the years. and nrs 14 river raft, to much work to take care of. anything you have to say would be helpfull. Dwain

[@cornholenoob]

Look at the Sportsman 120 if you will be mostly on a river

[@paulbunyun3663]

you have to have the cool factor, plus great for lightning

[@paulbunyun3663]

he probably sneaks a few lines in the water and still can't win
