The ‪@OldTownCanoeKayak‬ Salty 120 PDL is one of my favorite pedal driven kayaks on the market. Compared to its competitor it is lighter, faster, and more affordable. It's also one of the more versatile fishing kayaks on the market suitable for small lakes and ponds and the ocean, surf, and big rivers. In this video I walk you thru how I rig my Salty 120 PDL.

Ya know over the years one thing I tell all new folks to kayak fishing is set up your kayak the way "you" want. Take any tips and ideas yes but where you mount stuff and how you set your kayak up is what feels good to you. You go to a spot where there are a lot of kayak fishermen and I bet you wont find any kayak that has the same set up and the ideas that some guys come up with is pure genius.

@timschwarze4842 2 года назад

Tyler, you continue to be a wealth of information. I truly appreciate you willingness to share in detail your knowledge and experience. It has surely shortened the learning curve for many of us.

@davecooks 2 года назад

I use the same graph on my kayak and I highly recommend the Berley Pro Visor. It cuts down on a ton of glare and allows me to run the screen on a dimmer setting using less battery power. Great channel, I've learned a ton here!

@jeremykenward3082 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tour! This is my dream set up. Wish I would've jumped on it earlier because prices sure have come up a lot. Hoping to at least get the kayak this year and rig it up over time. Very well done on your set up sir, can't wait to get started

@RandyMatzkanin 2 года назад

What type of cooler do you use for your catch? It never takes more than a second for you to "dispose" of your fish after holding it up to view. No lid opening time in there.

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

This is what I use amzn.to/3IEhhtK. I'll have a video coming out next week on this topic

@herbveitenhans3285 2 года назад

Thank you, very informative. Quick question, why did you choose the Salty versus the Big Water?

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

I think the BigWater is too heavy and it’s center of gravity too high.

@herbveitenhans3285 2 года назад

Hmm, I didn’t consider that. I’ll take a second look at them both. Thank you.

@Justin-zs1ql 2 года назад

Awesome. I've been meaning to ask you about the pedal replacement for a while now.

@earlybirdadventures8677 2 года назад

have you tried the folbe advantage rod holders? i have been loving my yak attack ar rod holders but am having trouble with the lock and load base with the bigwaters track syatem so thinking of changing any tips?

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

I don’t use Folbe since they don’t make anything track based. Plus the RAM mounts rod holders have never let me down

@earlybirdadventures8677 2 года назад

@@spiltmilt thanks just see them on addicted fishing videos but they don't do kayak ones like the idea of folding to hold the rod and know they are big over there thought they might fit in the starport. Love tube style but the ram tubes are a little long compared to the yak attack ar ones. Is your code still viable on rams website? Might just get two of these setup

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

Yes the code stills works "HICKS22"

Did you remove the original pin on the factory pedals?

@spiltmilt 5 месяцев назад

Not sure what pin you are referring to.

@alaskanaaron3907 5 месяцев назад

@@spiltmilt when you take the factory pedal off there’s just the bare metal “pin” that the pedal sides on to. Did you remove that because I did order the exact pedal you have and with its factory assembly I was wanting to make sure that left the factory “pin” from the pdl system still attached or did you remove it and threw on the new pedal? If that makes sense

@spiltmilt 5 месяцев назад

My PDL drive just has the standard bike pedal threads. There was no pin.

@alaskanaaron3907 2 года назад

I’ve been following your content for a while now and wanted to say thank you. This is the video I’ve been waiting on. So my question is, coming from a soon to own salty owner and first time kayak owner is, what length of net/s do you normally use? I’ll be targeting the big lake trout, salmon species and the every so often halibut. Thank you for all the videos!

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

Most of my nets are 48” in length. Hoop size for the bigger fish is 28”

There is not one video on here of people actually putting the pedals on the pdl I’m getting new crank arms sent in since my pedal bored out during one of the biggest kayak tournaments on the east coast last weekend 🤦🏻‍♂️ that said I’m going to be replacing the crank arms and looking for a video of the actual pedal replacement awesome.

@ShenpaiWasTaken 2 года назад

Thanks for the walk through! I really wish I went the ram mount route rather than YakAttack. I like how you store your cords in the seat. I might have to try that. I put plugs on mine and store them in one of the scupper holes; probably not as good of an idea.

Hey Tyler, Sorry for the dumb question on a video that is a year old, but... the ram balls.. B and C size.... do I need to buy them separate to go into the T-Bolt track base? or can use the balls just come off the transducer arm and the helix mount? Trying to mimic your setup of the Helix, arm, and rod holder. Thanks for the content, great vids.

not the prop, the floating nut, you can remove it by hand, very handy if you run over a fishing line or just for cleaning.

With the Vlock did use the backing board from Vlock? Or make your own? I’m really struggling getting the Vlock backing board to mesh up with the rudder cable in the way and just not a lot of flat space Feel like the board is just a little too big for the space.

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

I had to shave a bit off the top of the plate to get mine to fit. However, I didn't have any issues with the rudder cable.

How long does the 10amp battery run your helix?

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

A helix 5 draws about 1 amp per hour and the helix 7 draws about 1.5 so it will depend on your screen size

Thank you from a Salty kayaker. You fish a lot at many places. Might you be looking for a trailer soon?

@spiltmilt 2 года назад

No easy to car top

@warefisher 2 года назад

Okay that’s fair. If you did use a trailer, would you favor mounting the transducer underneath? However, that would make your transfer to another kayak difficult so I guess not.
