@cerescop 4 года назад

I watched another reviewer take one out to the beach on a bad day and take it out through the surf. The waves were about 3-5 feet. He rolled it once, his fault. When he did his part it rode out the surf really well. Good initial review.

@scottparker6137 4 года назад

Videos like this, specifically from you, are what got me into kayaking. I've only gotten a Perception Pescador Pro 100, but I've been looking into getting into something with a pedal drive. I live 15 minutes from Lake Ontario and about 2 hours from the Finger Lakes in NY state. Really dig the channel and I look forward to more videos!

@AliexFolgueira 4 года назад

What an amazing place, bro that lake house look like a movie!! The 108 looks impressive! And for that price it will sell super well

Dude, you didn't show me crap. Does it have rod holders? any wells? places to put my cooler? paddle attachment? anchor attachment? any other mounts? Warranty? It does look sturdy and well balanced though. You need to go over the kayaks in a little more detail of the deck.

@JS-xs5hq 2 года назад

Thank you for the great honest review. Would you trust the 108 on rough water?

@HeadwatersKayak 2 года назад

Not the best boat for rough water. You would want something longer that cuts through waves

@slippery1958 3 года назад

This is the alternative to the one that I ended up ordering. The thing that made me go another way was the lack of a power drive. to me it seems an easy thing for manufacturer with a PDL drive to adapt a motor to that mechanism. I think that electric motor are the future of kayak fishing and any manufacturer that doesn't have one will be "missing the boat"

@chillgate2877 4 года назад

Do you already have a video on the old town top water 106 pdl? I would love to hear your comparison to this big fish kayak

@williamtmyers3003 4 года назад

I would love to hear which pieces and parts you felt were on the cheaper side. It would be nice to know before I put my pre-order in for one.

@HeadwatersKayak 4 года назад

Things like the floor being plastic instead of a foam pad, or the seat attachment is kinda basic. The drive and and steering seem solid and that’s the most important part. At this price I wouldn’t hesitate ordering one and feeling confident on what your getting.

@williamtmyers3003 4 года назад

@@HeadwatersKayak thank you so much for taking time to reply to my question! You Rock!

@johnstrand2247 4 года назад

We just got one. First day using it and have to compare it to our 2 Natives. Our Big Fish Drive unit is loud! Ours sounds like a weed eater starting with every thrust. Much louder than the Titan and harder to peddle than a Native Drive yet seems to be loosening up as we use it. The Big Fish tracks well but have noticed that the Eight Ball steering hits the seat on a hard right turn. Where does the water go? I only see two scupper holes in the back and that is separated from the front. Biggest detriment so far is the noise and there is a lot of wave slapping noise as it has a thinner feel to the plastic.

@johnstrand2247 4 года назад

Ok, rain water is no problem. There must be scupperholes under the removable deck because it has rained here for 48 hours and water does not collect inside. I believe this boat is a good value at this price and a pedal Kayak is the way to go.

@MrNicktune 2 года назад

speaking of long term use.. its been 2 years since the video was made... wondering how its held up for you

@mre4875 4 года назад

So just like the Topwater PDL the steering is on one side only. Been awhile since you've done a "stability test"....makes me laugh every time. Any chance you could compare the Big Fish 108 to an Old Town Topwater PDL? 🍺👍👊🎣

@HeadwatersKayak 4 года назад

You never know. I have a topwater in my shed to review. Moo Moo and I are taking them out next week to compare the 106 to a 120.

iggychloe not sure of boat draft. I’d say maybe 3-4” drive can fold into the kayak in shallow water. Otherwise I’d guess it’s a 12” draft or so. Again that’s a guess. Spec weights are everything installed.
