I just got mine in today and set up everything except for the tranducer on my fish finder, i could not figure out how to mount to the drop down arm configuration so i just stayed with my yakattack tranducer side arm. Did you have to rig something for the Lowrance tranducer? Im using the garmin striker 4 currently, if that makes a difference. Thank you in advance!
@@corygibson6551 congrats on the beast of a kayak! It is so nice on the water! The ducer arm is simple once you set up it. I used the mount the ducer came with and mounted it to the plate. Head over to the feelfree owners group on Facebook and post it on there and a lot of people will post their pics of how they did it too:)
@@TheBassquatchHunter thank you for the reply, i will do that. I've had the new yak out on the water 4 times since in got it and yes, it is a beast... but also a bear to get loaded in my truck bed haha
See the problem is couples like them you gonna have 8 kids yea meanwhile the state is helping you guys take care of all 8 of those kids and people like me and others who really need assistance can barley get it and that's why smh 😅😂
@@DeeFromBrooklyn I have quite a few videos of putting these on top of my truck cap by myself actually:) I’m a small guy with bad knees and an iffy back and both of these are easy for me.
@@TheBassquatchHunter Good to hear. A quick video would be much appreciated if you get a chance. Just want to see what size rocks the tire can handle--and whether they might pop carrying the weight of a Hobie Outback.
Best way to launch a kayak and you show no launching of a kayak, just some b-roll of it going over grass and sand...This should be a pain to actually launch in the water but no one would know based on this video.
@@TheBassquatchHunter do you find much water coming in with the drive out? Or is the hole built hi enough to keep water out? Thank you for the feedback
@@Keith-nu3di a little will splash up, but it dissipates through the drainage holes very quickly. If it’s smooth water it’ll be very minimal. If it’s choppy, it’ll be more obviously.
I just watched this and the propane episode from my DVR, both were awesome to watch, but Ms Ireland was fun to watch. I was impressed by the way roles were reversed and she totally rocked it with the penguins.
@@FounderOf4 thank you for watching! Lindsay is amazing with the penguins. She did a pretty good job fishing for her first time too! I hope you like the show and if you get time, check out the other episodes too!
I have had both. It comes down to your height, weight, how you travel with the kayak, how you store the kayak and what waters you fish mainly. Then lastly which one would fit your needs the best. I love the 11.5 but if I was a bigger guy, I’d go 13.5. But it’s big and bulky compared to the 11.5 so hauling it is different. The 11.5 turns easier and is more manageable too but the 13.5 have much more room.
@@300hiker you would be more comfortable in the 13.5 I’d think but the 11.5 maneuvers easier for the river. See if a local dealer has one you can sit in for sure
Nothing better than the finger lakes of NY. I live in Rochester. If you ever want to come back to the area let me know and I’ll head out with you. Want huge smallmouths? Hit Cayuga or Chaumont Bay in the islands.
Not a fan of the transducer arm battery box combo. It’s really convenient and easy but I don’t like having that big bulky unit on the side rail. I made a mount for my transducer and run it through one of the scupper holes and have the battery in a waterproof box under the seat. I have the head unit just immediately in front of my seat with the cables tucked neatly into the FeelFree utility track. Transducer is in the hull and deep enough in the water but the design of the hull protects it from damage.
That sounds cool! I love that everyone finds their own way that works for them with kayak rigging:) I personally love the cellblock because I can remove the whole system and place it on another kayak in about 30 seconds while on the water. For me, that is important with how I switch kayaks very often
Seat is amazing! Cushion is on the back for a reason. I wear an inflatable PFD sometimes and other times I wear an NRS chinook PFD. The chinook has a back flotation piece and since I am short, the cushion helps my lower back since the PFD is on my upper back only. Also, what’s wrong with being more comfortable when I spend 12 hours or more in my seat very often? 😂
@TheBassquatchHunter , does it work nice? Just be me and dog, basically floating/paddling with current shooting what we jump. Will that thing do the job?....looks like it will. Just wondering. Thanks....oh and which model do you have?
@@outdoorrn2980 I have Hunted out of the big fish 103, big fish 105, seastream angler, feelfree dorado and feelfree lure. They were all nice and are all offered in a sand camo that helps a lot as well. I currently use the moken 10 PDL but would take the pedal drive out or suggest the non pedal drive version for duck hunting
I have a moken 12.5 and my only complaint is the water splashing up through the pedal opening when I paddle. Have you found anything to cover that when not using the pedal mechanism??
I would email feelfree through their site and ask if the sonar pod for the lure will fit in the moken for that particular purpose. If I can find one of my pods in my garage, I’ll try to check for you and update you here too:)
I came here trying to decide if the 12.5 pdl would be stab enough to replace my paddle lure 11.5. I’m 6’ and 220# but only do trips under 5 hours and don’t need dry storage. So I’m thinking the 10pdl with its width might actually be better! Shorter and lighter to throw in a truck bed and then more stable. I just assumed 2’ longer would compensate for the 3” width difference. My lure 11.5 is 34” wide and 11.5 so likely more stable than both, but the pedals of the moken 10 is extremely tempting.
Absolutely correct. The Moken 10PDL would be best for you based on that. The ultimate mix would be adding the pedal drive to your lure 11.5, but if you want to go lighter and easier to move around, the Moken 10 is the answer :)
