No BigFoot - 6 years ago

Wow man, that's more like a swiss army kayak... nice....

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 6 years ago

No BigFoot lol thanks it did me well when I used it

Dan Roy - 6 years ago

Good Review! After the wind! Lol!!

Dan Roy - 6 years ago

Le wind, Le wind! Mercy! Worst sound I ever heard!

Anthony Attuso - 6 years ago

how you reach things behind your seat I like to see that. in my 10 ft kayak I find it difficult to reach behind me

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 6 years ago

Anthony Attuso yeah it wasn't very easy reaching behind me but I don't fish out of this kayak anymore so my kayak now is so much easier to move around and reach things on

Mc Greg - 6 years ago

the wind noise RIP headphone users

Robbie Hampton - 6 years ago

I am 5' 8" and 245, I am an experienced paddler but with longer kayaks, with your height and weight and all the gear in the stern did you have any problems adjusting the kayaks trim? Does the bow ride high? I already have a NW Ultimate 12, but am considering something a bit smaller and lighter.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 6 years ago

I have never had any problem with the front riding low unless it was really choppy. Once I got my atak 140 I wouldn't get anything else but a hobie pro angler

john reed - 7 years ago

hey.... john from notice here... I've been researching kayaks looking to do fishing... I'm a bigger guy so need a bigger yak... I'm liking the Jackson big rig but didn't know what kind of input you might have?...thanks

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

john reed I have looked at them but haven't used one but from what I see outside the water they look like a good solid kayak

Da_Bomb_Eden - 7 years ago

Anthony Green - 7 years ago

I recently got this kayak at a garage sale. I really like it and its stability on the water and ease of control. And, I will be making some of the modifications that you show.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Anthony Green awesome!

Timm Deaver - 7 years ago

have you had any problems with the hull warping?

Timm Deaver - 7 years ago

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing
Thanks.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Timm Deaver I had one small spot in the middle but other than that I had no other problems

markymark3075 - 7 years ago

Thanks

David Brandenstein - 7 years ago

how much did you paid for it all

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

David Brandenstein the kayak alone was 800 so over 1000 for everything

Billy Shears - 7 years ago

Just a suggestion, that blue towel behind your seat, replace it or supplement it with a large car washing sponge. much better at absorbing water, etc.

Billy Shears - 7 years ago

+Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing Word well sponge is good regardless of kayak or boat even! especially kayak

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Billy Shears thanks yeah i no longer use this kayak

Greg Varela - 7 years ago

thanks for the ideas you have made. i recently just bought this kayak from bass pro and i can't wait to take it out

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Greg Varela no problem man glad i can help hope you go out there and catch some big ones!

Jason Noel - 7 years ago

What was your thoughts on the strength of the hull? Did you experience any warping of the hull? Also I have seen more than a few reviews saying that the nose of the kayak is too close to the water line. Evening nosing under in some reviews? I am 6' 230lbs. I am leaning towards the FS10, but don't want to make a bad decision. Any advise would help. Thanks

Jason Noel - 7 years ago

Thanks!

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Jason Noel i only had a tiny spot on the bottom of the boat but was only minor and i have never had any water come over the front unless i was in really choppy water and it did really well for the year that i had it. its an excellent kayak for beginners.

David Gorski - 7 years ago

I have the same kayak. Was wondering what's the name of that little storage bin you have screwed on that you said you got from Walmart? I have been looking high and low for thing.

Joseph Bartling - 7 years ago

It’s called a belt bait bin

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

David Gorski no problem

David Gorski - 7 years ago

Appreciate it.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

David Gorski i actually got it from dicks sporting goods in the fishing section i couldn't remember where i had got it when i made the video

Lukas Aldrich - 7 years ago

Nice video on your setup. These youtube videos give the best ideas for kayak fishing mods.

I have an older Ascend D10 that I just got a fish finder. Does the transducer mounted on the side make the kayak track any differently? I've been trying to decide to mount it on the side or off the back center.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Lukas Aldrich thanks! i really didn't notice a difference about it but i did shorten the rod and put it on a ball mount off the side of the kayak but it worked good for me the whole time but have a new kayak now

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Dany Barceloux lol i get a notification on my phone whenever someone comments

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

i made a review on that one too

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Dany Barceloux i absolutely love it its everything i could need on the water and extremely stable

Dany Barceloux - 7 years ago

Geez man thanks for fast reply

Dany Barceloux - 7 years ago

Lol yea . U have ws atak now? How u liking it

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Dany Barceloux im not sure but i havent really looked for any and i no longer fish from this kayak so don't need one lol

VA Basshole - 7 years ago

I have the same Yak. Nice mods and great set-up. I didn't realize until I heard you say Hampton, that we fish the same waters. Tight Lines!!

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Chris Beach i want to go try some places out there sometime this year

VA Basshole - 7 years ago

I haven't made it out to the Back Bay area yet. I'm usually fishing around Suffolk, I spend a lot of time at Lonestar Lakes Park.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Chris Beach thanks man yeah i fish in va beach alot

unseenoutdoors s - 7 years ago

round about how much did you spend on the whole setup

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

unseenoutdoors s with the fish finder and the kayak alone was like 800

Tom Manno - 7 years ago

Great mods, thank you for the tips! I've had my FS10 for about a year and still working on modding it to my liking. I really like that Frabill box as well as the L-bars.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Tom Manno i personally just screwed it onto the kayak from the curved back end and it seemed to hold pretty well

Tom Manno - 7 years ago

Do you have any close up shots of how you fastened the Frabill bait box to the dashboard? I bought one. I considered cutting back the bracing on the rear side of it so it can conform to the curved dash better, and also snip off the belt clips. Thoughts?

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Tom Manno thanks yeah i liked that kayak and it did great for me in 2016 but I've recently upgraded kayaks

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Tom Manno thanks yeah i liked that kayak and it did great for me in 2016 but I've recently upgraded kayaks

Antdogg566 - 7 years ago

I have a 2016 fs128t and I am thinking of getting a fs10 sit in to hit some of the smaller creeks ... how's the stability on those .. I heard the fs10 sit on was horrible

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Antdogg566 this kayak has done me very well in 2016 but it is being retired and i got the wilderness systems atak 140

Ask The Pro DJ - 7 years ago

No good, you cant reach that tackle comfortably and that stuff is a stretch, you should just get a small bass boat.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 7 years ago

Ask The Pro DJ i can reach everything just fine

D.Nasty Fishing - 7 years ago

Have you ever taken it out in Saltwater? And if you have what's the roughest waters i was looking at this at Bass Pro. And i would use it for Stripers in the Boston harbor and the surrounding area's. Cool video

James Ireland - 8 years ago

cool thank you

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

i have taken it out to in the inlet on a calm day which it was fine but if you have alot of wind i wouldnt suggest it

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

I also read people say it's tippie

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

well I'm going to take your word for it and go purchase one today. thanks for feedback.

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

have you gotta wet in this kayak? how would you rate the stability 1 out of 10

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

I might have to steal some of your ideas.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

lol ok

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

awesome modifications btw.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

thanks!

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

thanks for responding so quickly. The common complaint I keep reading is the front of kayak short and water goes over the top.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

the water can come over the front a little bit if the water is really choppy but it's not bad

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

I'm really considering purchasing this kayak from Bass. Doing a lot of research on it and seems to be the best deal for my pocket. Any complaints?

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

nope i dont have any its a good kayak

1020coop - 8 years ago

I have heard many negative reviews about this kayak after they redesigned it in 2015. Alot of complaints about stability, plows water, and the bottom deforms where the seat is. Have you noticed any of this?

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

Thx mate!

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

i dont have any problems with mine and works perfectly fine

KETO4LIFE ! - 8 years ago

I'm wondering the same thing. Please reply quickly. I'm going out tomorrow to purchase at BPS.

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

+ThatKrazyDude umm i havent had any problems when it's hot cause if it's really hot im hot all over lol. i will be getting the wilderness systems atak in the spring but it depends on what your kayak budget is

ThatKrazyDude - 8 years ago

I'm kinda torn on this or the FS10T. Does the kayak provide shade on your legs or does it create an oven effect?

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

+ThatKrazyDude if it is really calm but ive been stuck in 20+ mph winds and it's not fun

ThatKrazyDude - 8 years ago

Thanks! Do you think this could handle offshore?

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

It is 1ft 2in long and wide it will fit a regular size milk crate

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

i got that one from dicks sporting goods in the fishing section by the tackle boxes

James Smith - 8 years ago

what do you use to seal uo your screw holes? I'm using some industrial type silicone and a metal washer with neoprene on it that I got from home Depot. I'm thinking that should have a good seal but idk

Kayak RodNReel VA Fishing - 8 years ago

I am just using a water proof sealant nothing to fancy it comes out white but when it is dry it is clear i havent had any problems with water coming in. i put some sealant on the whole before i screw it in and then cover the screw and around it with more sealant just to be for sure that it is closed up
