Puzzled By Kayak Fishing PFDs? My top picks and review for kayak fishing personal flotation devices.

The best personal flotation device (PFD) for kayak fishing is the one you will use. A highly rated life jacket is essential equipment for fishing and safety on the water. Here are my top picks for PFDs that I have used and I review several features that work well for me. Always wear a PFD. Your life could depend on it. #nrs #stohlquist #PFD #lifejacket

I wear mine, it is comfortable and I have tried it. It works. I went with red for improved visibility, especially if in the water. Mine is the NRS Chinook. My only issue is the zippers. The zippers can be fouled by saltwater. Velcro would be better because in an emergency the zipper pocket may not open. I do rinse the zippers after each outing.

Good point about the zippers! Rinse down everything after being in saltwater!

Very helpful video. The sizing on the Raku is weird. The XS/M is chest 30"-42" and the L/XL is 42"-52". In my case, XS/M would be the right choice. However, the XS/M is only for weights up to 132 lbs. There are a lot of people in the world with less than 42" chest who weight more than 132 lbs.

Very nice video. Great selection to review. Been to Park Falls? Great little town... huge St. Croix facility. I'm not sure how these knife holders work.

Thinking about getting the Raku for my next PFD, better start looking for it now haha

[@kingfisherkayakadventures]

Thanks for the visit

[@robertbriskie]

have you tried any Mustang inflatable pfd’s? no poxkets, and that took some getting used to, but man i love mine.

[@kingfisherkayakadventures]

Haven’t tried one yet. Think they look great though. I like knowing I’ll float without having to rely on another physical process to work.

[@fishinbite]

Great video! Have you considered the Astral PFDs? Also, what is your knife?

[@kingfisherkayakadventures]

I have looked at them. I didn’t like the pocket design for me. But, to each his own preference as long as people wear them! My knife is the NRS Co-Pilot
