A paddle with a hook retrieve also makes a huge difference for us that still get snagged on stuff.
Great content Chad!
That Bending Branches Angler Pro is worth every single dollar.
Hi Chad. Another great video with lots of great info. Have you looked at the NRS Raku Fishing PFD? I think its a similar idea as the Blue Storm Kinetic. It has floatation along the whole back but its a lot thinner and more spread out than some of the other PFDs they sell for whitewater etc.
I'm getting the Magellan pro angler 600$
For PFD, auto inflate vs comfort of the mesh back vs the full back like in the bluestorm. Comfort in the heat as well, I want something that I won't take off because I'm getting too hot or uncomfortable. I know myself, I'll take it off if I get really uncomfortable. Then inevitably I'll take a spill and struggle to get back in my kayak.
Also how useful are the pockets and attach points for fishing specifically and how is the zipper quality as we know zippers are a common failure point.
kayaks are starting to replace small jonboats
Chad has saved me with great advise

Not sure if it's just me but my experience with bending branches hasn't been that great. Got the angler pro Versa-loc with fiberglass blades and one of the blades has a significant glue squeeze out left behind and the other side looks to have been over ground and has a bright white spot on the other blade. Contacted support and it's coming up on 6 busidays without so much as a peep. Highly disappointed for the price I paid I feel like I got a cosmetic blemish. I'd expect near perfection for the price tag.
Thus far I wouldn't reccomend this company to anyone who has ocd or expects a return email in a reasonable time frame.
Ummm your three recommendations PLUS a Fishing Rod & Reel. I recommend you splurge on your setup with quality lines and hooks. Once you learn to kayak fish AND catch fish then splurge on the rest. But quality fishing gear will help you to catch fish and feel your purchase is worth it.
Finally, do NOT leave a fiberglass paddle in the sun for extended periods 🤬 once the sun breaks it down and you start itching from the fiberglass handle resting on your legs, rubbing your arms, and getting in your hands you will understand🤷♂️
Just let us know when the Anchor wizard is available, been watching for months on it and the Sasquatch bar.
Yooo. 100% on the PFD! Hands down get a comfortable and quality PFD.
And a compelling case for the quality paddle! I still say if you have a pedal drive or motor, get a cheap paddle 🤷🏽♂️
Kayak PFD questions to address:
1. What should you tether to the PFD versus to a side pouch in the Kayak?
2. Which items kept on the vest versus in the vest pockets?
Chad, what is the name of the seat cushion for a kayak?
why don't you talk about Native watercraft. It's a great kayak I'm surprised you talk about them. Unless you don't know much about them, then i could understand why.
👍
10:41 I would like to add, try to buy a kayak and these accessories at your local kayak dealer too! Aside from them sharing expert knowledge about kayaks, they also may have deals in store that aren’t online to get you in the kayak you want. Lastly, most will allow you to demo a kayak too.
Awesome video!
1. $400 Lifetime Tamarack Pro
2. Angler PFD

Great informative video.
Another great video Chad. In regards to the PFD, I wear mine all the time, but it is about time for me to replace it. I fish in central Florida, and it gets pretty hot. Do you think there is an advantage from one PDF to another in how well it dissipates body heat? Also, I clean mine by hand from time to time, so one thing you may consider for your video is how easy is it to clean.
Why no NRS Raku?
For me:
1. Paddle
2. 2 Fishing poles.
3. Cooler with some drinks and snacks.
Everything else is just clutter.
The only 3 things is just that, kayak, paddle, and PFD!!
Man, I really need to consider an anchor wizard. Been wanting to do some offshore fishing. I’ve always wanted an Xi3 for spotlock but maybe all I need is an anchor wizard.
Great video. I started with a lifetime and now have an Old Town Sportsman 106. I absolutely love it. It’s my 3rd year in this boat and I wouldn’t trade it. I have the same PFD company you do and I never go out without it on me. I also bought a bend and branches paddle and love it. All this was on your recommendation. You’re the man thanks. I love this sport!!!
It also pisses me off when you see these cliques out on the water that will make fun of your fishing kayak if it isn't a certain brand. F that bro we're just blessed to be out on the water catching fish
This video is my daily dose of positivity. I never cease to be amazed at how interesting each video is!😛😛😛 9 🥀.
