That kayak is a fishing battleship machine. Awesome review video. The only cons I see is you need a trailer, its heavy and I don't own it. The Bonafide PWR are really nice but no option for a pedal drive. I saw a couple Hobies with spot lock Saturday and alot of those motorize Pelicans which were jon boats at a small local electric lake. The bass boats running only trolling motors was bogarding the islands and waypoints lol. Nitro Z20 on a 310 acre lake , come on man lol

Love my p127. I feel like Bonafide doesn’t make anything specific as far as upgrades for this yak. For being the most expensive one, I feel they should show it more love and not overlook it.

@@BanksOpenKayakFishing thanks for the response. Since you have a 129 could you tell me how effective the rudder is when using it with a trolling motor? I’ve seen some people comment that the rudder is ineffectual when you have an Xi3. My goal is to slow troll with the Xi3 and use the rudder to steer

I'm curious about how the P127 is behaving with the Newport. I've been thinking about a motor for my P127 since I got it 2 years ago, but I don't hear many positive reports. It seems P127 design is not very conducive with motors.

Hey. This weekend I went to promised land lake for 2 days and fished for about 6 hours each day. I caught nothing, even though I went out and bought wacky worms, swimbaits, and top water luers. Do you know what I might have been doing wrong? Also, just discovered your channel! Really great content.

How much noise do you get from the pedal drive? I’ve been debating either the bonafide or an old town and I’ve had several people tell me the propel drive is quite noisy and talk about spooking fish when getting too close. Also, if you unlatch the drive and leave it unlatched, can you pedal it without it flopping around? ill mostly be in lakes but we have a river about an hour from me that i frequent and there are lots if shallow areas and submerged rocks so it would be nice to be able to leave it unlatched in those situations so it would flip up if it hits something or drags

Depending on what kind of kayak you got ( sit in vs sit on top ) modding them with fishing related accessories can be fairly easy but more than likely will require drilling holes which as long as you properly seal them won't cause any issues, what I've seen many people do is attack your favorite brand of mounting track for things like Yak attack accessories and then go from there.

@@gman7281 I installed flush mount rod holders behind the set , a clip type paddle holder and velcroed a couple 3600 waterproof tackle cases in front of the set. You might want a small water resistant tool pouch also. Remember velcro , magnets and marine glue are your friend. I did this before I bought a sit on top fishing kayak
