Nuh-var 👍🏻. Great video.

The plates up front are a very overlooked, but huge benefit on the BW compared to the Topwater 120.

Thanks for the review, where did you get the keel guards?

Made it myself. Using kydex and just cut and heat mold and double sided tape and waterproof caulk

You can buy stock aluminum t track online...cheap...cut to l length...cut ends at 45 degrees , round the corners with a file , drill two holes and mount over top of the existing slot tracks for a nice full length raised track....

Would you use this kayak for fly fishing? I live in SW Florida and fish bays, mangroves, rivers, close to the beach on the gulf. THANK YOU! Excellent information on your video!

@anthonyvespia6662 Год назад

That boat is beautiful, and love the big water pdl. I have my 2022 Hoodoo impulse 120, I citrus orange. Fin drive, and run my J2 Bixpy, on the Vibe Gravity blade rudder, to fit my kayak, and cables, with the motor. Plenty of storage, stable. I love the ocean, but I'm a large mouth bass angler. But if you're in the ocean, even off shore on freshwater. Please spend the $19.99 on a bildge pump. I do have a real kayak sponge, in my emergency on the water dry bag kayak kit. But you'll be using that sponge forever, in an emergency. The difference between to he two is insane, after the test I did. 😎 🎣 🌊

@Mars-77 2 года назад

These PDL pedal drives work a lot better and smoother if you "glass" them. As in glassing a rifle. It's easy to do and makes a world of difference.

@YakLocal 2 года назад

Have you done it ? I’m curious to know more

@Mars-77 2 года назад

@@YakLocal yes, cover the base with a thin layer of grease, sand/ruff up the inside of the kayak. Apply about a 1/4" of Bondo around the entire opening, and press and lock the drive. Let it set up an hour or so, and then release it and trim/sand any excess.

What's the name of the mount you use on your carry handles? And can you add a link to purchase? LOVE your set-up?

@YakLocal 3 года назад

Thank you! Absolutely here you go. navarrekayakfishing.com/shop/kayak-handle-w-gear-track-mount/ Also, check out Nicks page Navarre kayak fishing. I’m sure you have seen him before. Such a great guy he made me a mount for my transducer and is now selling them as well. Quality products, great service. Thanks for the Sub!

@eddielikesfishing 3 года назад

Brother, your tattoo is a reason why I subscribed. Nick at Navarre Kayak Fishing covers these yaks fairly well. He shows how to fix the PDL if it breaks. Obviously if it's still under warranty, send it to O.T.. I like how you covered the BigWater from bow to stern. How do you like that Ram mount for your fishfinder? I was thinking about a Scotty mount, but now I'm not sure. Yak safe and tight lines!

@YakLocal 3 года назад

Thank you brother! I love the ram mount because I can move it quickly without having to loosen anything. It’s awesome! Oh yeah Nick is the man. I reach out to him anytime I have an OT question haha

@damkayaker 3 года назад

On a non-pedal version, it doesn't look like I could transport this upside down on regular Yakima bars. I'd have to remove the seat and what other problems?

@robertfortier9098 3 года назад

Just got mine yesterday. Love the review!! Idea, would this work? Trak system, could you use a router and extend the groove of the track? Have not looked at mine that closely. Just thought of it while viewing. Thanks

@YakLocal 3 года назад

It’s an awesome kayak! It’s possible for sure, I might just attach a track on it haha! Thanks for the sub!

@OCOutdoorsman 3 года назад

I like what you did with the front keel guard! Where'd you get the kydex and how did you shape it to fit your keel?

@YakLocal 3 года назад

I ordered the kydex on eBay it was like 3 sheets. Also I just drew the shape with pencil then cut it out and heat molded it to keel. It was actually really simple. The kydex is easy to work with once warmed up

@OCOutdoorsman 3 года назад

@@YakLocal Great idea! What did you use to mold the kydex to the keel?

@YakLocal 3 года назад

@@OCOutdoorsman best way is to cut the kydex to shape then warm it all up with heat gun. Get it a little soft. Then put on keel. Use painters tape at tip and slowly heat it all the smooth out waves and it will harden perfect 👍🏻you can also reheat if needed

@OCOutdoorsman 3 года назад

@@YakLocal Nice! I just placed an order for some Kydex. So what kind of glue did you use to attach it to your keel?

@YakLocal 3 года назад

@@OCOutdoorsman I used 3m automotive double side tape on inside and then I used black dynaflex sealant on edge to seal it all in.

Have the exact same kayak. Love it. Although I am having the same issue you had with the drive not locking securely enough to stop it from swaying.

@YakLocal 3 года назад

Did you tighten the nut like I explained in the video? Give it a shot and let me know. It doesn’t have to be super tight

@smileycamel5635 2 года назад

Great review... question, did you buy it there locally, or order,. And how long did it take to get?

@chunkyboy9624 3 года назад

Hey brother like your videos. I’ve got a couple questions for you. I just ordered the 132. What keel guard to you put on there and why cut it the way you did? Do you have a video of how you built that roller cart you have your yak sitting on? Thank again.

@YakLocal 3 года назад

I used a sheet of kydex. Reason for that shape is so at the bend it’s easier to handle and doesn’t get all wrinkled. Also no video on the cart I just went off a bunch on RU-vid and just spaced the pvc 8” from center

Hello great video. I’m new to fishing and wanted to ask what you recommend I really like the old town sportsman’s pdl 120 and now I seen yours is super nice. Do you knows what’s the difference between the two? I want to learn how to fish the ocean harbors and jetty.

If your going to fish Ocean, harbors and jetty’s than definitely the Bigwater 132. Cuts through swell and waves great and is much faster than 120
