Tour of my NEW Kayak -- This thing is INSANE! (Old Town Autopilot 120)

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Check out the UPRVR bags here: bit.ly/2L8Zhuh

[@victorxavier9977]

The features and technology on these new Old Town kayaks is just awsome! You and Bethany are going to have lots of fun with them on the water!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Heck yeah dude! It’s honestly amazing.

[@stevehogan8829]

You'll love the 120 AutoPilot. I used one for 4 years and ,oved to a 106 Powered By MinKota because of the lower weight and the shorter length which allows me to get it cimpoletely in my Caravan with the seat removed, Hatch closed, No road noise, Love me both,

[@DavyHookedUp]

Dangummit was all I needed to hear to sub🤣! Picking up an old town autopilot and came across your video. Tight lines!

[@BallisticSamFishing]

Man I’m a hard core Oldtown fan. That yak is my dream yak. I can’t wait to get one.

[@robertwhetstone5300]

Great video. Thank you for reviewing while fishing.

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

I'm waiting on my ole town IPilot sportsman's, can't wait to get out there and fish out of it

[@ciscokid2444]

Great video! Bethany is very cool!

[@Adventures101.]

That clear soft plastic bag that you said in the beginning of the video what size was that in your hand was that the 12 or the 14 . And was it the regular one or the pro thank you

[@RedneckViking]

I think you brought up a point that I never really considered. Being tired from padding and fighting for boat positions. Being tired or drained will effect your fishing and decision making. Never really thought about it till you said it .

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Absolutely man!

[@fishkids-newbrunswick5345]

Wow! Thank you! I'm about the size of you, 6'3", so that's awesome see you move around in it. Guess the little bit of water it holds is a feature, live well ;)

[@AlexRuddFishing]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKirn3V7n79pas0 you’ll wanna check this video out!

[@russdennis7026]

Do you leave your battery and the motor in the kayak when transporting? And what are your charging the battery steps?I really like the size and the compactness of the motor of the 10.6 but that one doesn't have spot lock. Please help.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I take the motor out, leave the battery in, and I have a charger I just plug the batteries into when I get home. Just flip up the seat and plug it in.

[@bluebullbt]

Old town rocks!!!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

🙌🏻

[@FishingWithFitz]

Those Kayaks are awesome brother!

[@EricRomines]

Two words.... GAME CHANGER! 👍👍

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Absolutely!

[@joebryant6962]

Soo jealous! Gotta get one like that!

[@sean7665]

Question for you? Fishing for bass that their main forage is alewives and bluegill any tips?

[@AJDhir]

@Alex Rudd can you replace the motor on the 106 MK with the Pedal Console? Just in case the tourneys don't allow it?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

You can not.

[@KJMFISHING]

What do you think is going to be the best wheels to transport the 106 MK? Thanks for the video!

[@42588panda]

Wow amazing video that kayak looks so kool

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Thanks man!

[@Adventures101.]

Also I heard when the seat is in the lower position on the autopilot 120 that you can feel the battery box below you is that true

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’ve never lowered the seat so I don’t know.

[@tonebassin2571]

Oh yea my dude. Looking forward to this thank you brother again enjoy them toys Stay Safe

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Heck yeah dude!

[@JeffMalott]

It is! Love mine as well

[@MaximillianTheCat]

Great review. What about grassy areas? I fish Florida and it's tough to avoid the grass/hydrilla

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s like a normal trolling motor. It’ll get gummed up but all you have to do is turn it around and goose it a few times and it’ll clear off.

[@MaximillianTheCat]

@@AlexRuddFishing I figured. thanks for the response. They restock in Sept as of now, and I'll probably buy one then from a local vendor. It sure looks nice!

[@keithpowell2786]

Great video, very informative. I’m looking at the 120 or 136 auto pilot, you seem to have plenty of room in the 120 ,9 I’m 6-3 and about 265 do you think I would need the 136? And which battery do you use ?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’m 6’4 220 so if that gives you any more perspective on the size. It takes a 27 series deep cycle.

[@Jon-nz3dm]

If you hook up on a fish and for some reason you need to change the position of the boat, using the rudder to alter your direction would be much easier than using the remote to do it all. If you can use your feet for direction instead of hand for power AND direction then you'll have more time with both hands on the rod(obviously 2 hands on the rod increases your likelihood of catching the fish).

[@motoman3290]

I might have missed it but what batteries did you go with and how long you think you get for run time .

[@AlexRuddFishing]

27 series deep cycle. I did 7 hours the other day at various speeds and only used 1/4 of my total power.

[@motoman3290]

Dang that's sweet didnt think you could fit a 27 series in there 👊 looked like it would have to be a specialized battery pack .

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video nice kayak

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Thanks my dude!

[@campbell8869]

Hey Alex great video!! I was wondering if you had any idea what the top speed (in ideal conditions) is on your new old town? I’m looking at getting a new kayak with either a bow mounted trolling motor with spot lock or now possibly the old town...

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I went out yesterday with no wind totally loaded down with all my gear and hit 4 mph.

[@campbell8869]

That’s pretty good... I have a ss107 with Torqeedo 403 on it and I can get 4.7 mph on it... I’m looking into getting a longer kayak too for myself and then I would have a high quality “buddy boat” as well... currently torn between a pedal drive or one with a trolling motor with the “spot lock” function... I think the spot lock in a kayak is a true “game changer” for kayak tournaments so I’m leaning that way!! Thanks for the response it’s appreciated keep the great content coming!!

[@chrisdrury828]

Probably a silly ass question but if the kayak tips is it going to hurt anything on the motor by being under water ?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Nope it’s just like the top of any other minn Kota it’s totally water proof.

[@chrisdrury828]

@@AlexRuddFishing awesome question #2 or scenario. Fishing a kayak tourney that doesn't allow electric motors... does it have the option for a pedal drive to be installed or is it only motor or paddle?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

chris drury only motor.

[@Boilermakers_92]

What kind of battery are you using and what is your battery life like? Thanks for the videos, im putting a deposit on one of these soon

[@bryanbenson6551]

I just got an old town autopilot 120 new but every time I pull the cord back to engage the motor into it's housing, it just comes back up. And nowhere online have I found an explanation! No instructions came with it like do I wrap the line around something?? That seems like a cheap way that will just wear out the line quickly. Please, SOMEBODY explain what's up!! lol

[@blsolder]

Does it come with a paddle?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Yes and a life jacket.

[@blsolder]

Alex Rudd Fishing that’s awesome!!! What size was the life jacket?

[@edwardshielas2293]

I'm sold.. I order mine.. should be here soon

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Hope you love it.

[@frankleaney6267]

Sold. Any demos for sale? I’m in Canada and our dollar is less, it’s be about 6,000 Canadian. I want one, especially with that spot lock. Game changer🙏

[@bmkayakfishing9319]

Got mine coming at the beginning of month man! Cannot wait. It’s going to be such a game changer! How you liking it man? Love your content as well bro

[@AlexRuddFishing]

They are incredible! I have one I’ve got one full on the water video out with it already and another on the way tomorrow.

[@paulvandermark4963]

Yeah it’s not fun to see old big get away.

[@chrislehman9735]

Sweet Yaks man. Now I need to cancel my Predator order, and get an Old town. Lol

[@dustin4185]

Nice rigs!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Thanks bud!

[@dustin4185]

I still think it is cheating though, lol. I showed Aiden, and he said “what’s the point of that?”

[@frankleaney6267]

How are these old towns to paddle. When fishing tournament up here, we ain’t allowed the motor.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I lean more toward a peddle drive.

[@FishingWithFitz]

Dance the Jig!!!

[@kylemolletfishing9123]

Good stuff brother. 🤜 How big you think that fish was?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Conservatively 5+ lbs.

[@mikegardiner3934]

Fun vid Alex!! Yep one day I will get me one of those. Much more of an investment with the motor, but I know well worth it for convenience, And the older you get. :-)

[@AlexRuddFishing]

For sure!

[@jaycordeiro905]

I love the kayak! Just for reference what do you weigh not including the beard? ;)

[@AlexRuddFishing]

😂😂 220

That kayak is sweet I would love to have one like that is there a dealer in East Tennessee

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I believe Frontier outdoors sales Old Town.

[@txhuntsman]

That is a sweet water ride and the stability looks ridiculous BUT let's talk about that waterhog you missed. Dang man that looked like a beauty! You will be dreaming about that mama in your sleep or at least that is what happens to me. Good video. Tight Lines and God Bless.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

For real man! She was a certified good one.

[@austin5618]

How is the prob in weeds

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Just like a normal trolling motor. It’ll get marred up but you can just reverse it and get it off.

[@mrsewell2610]

As someone who is also 6’4 would you also do one in her kayak? So we can see what a bigger person thinks?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I sure can.

[@mrsewell2610]

Alex Rudd Fishing thanks man I appreciate it

Maiden voyage in my 136 in the morning!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Heck yeah! How’d you like it?

[@sardogdad]

@@AlexRuddFishing It is SWEET! Even had a little rough weather in the middle of the day and it handled it like a champ. Spot lock is amazing. Working the shoreline with the rudder foot control is excellent.

Absolutely. No question.

[@bridgelaurie9490]

Boy that rage menace was whoopin your butt 😂 Does the pissing have something to do with it being a male or were you just pointing it out ?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Yeah this time of year it’s usually sperm that the males are depositing onto the eggs. Other times of the year it’s usually a way to secrete a pheromone as a warning mechanism.
