Does It Flip? Pelican Catch Mode 110 Kayak Stability Test and Fishability

Рет қаралды 17,351

Күн бұрын

On today’s episode of Fishing Is Therapy we review and perform a stability test on the granite colored Pelican Catch Mode 110 Fishing Kayak. Can we flip it? I think this kayak has the best stability, overall build quality and fishability than any other kayak in its price range.

Got mine about a year , and It's great, and I also got the same seat, im about 210 pounds and when it's flipped down and you sit on the top of it.. it's so much easier to stand up in..also bought the 50 ish dollar ozark trail wheels to move it around..they dont fit perfect but with the rachet straps held on to the front ..it moves around great ... def worth the 800 dollars..and what ever extra you wanna get for it

Everything keeps bringing me back to the 110. I thought about a pedal drive so I could split the work between my shoulders and legs (joint issues) but the places I'd be fishing or exploring would be shallow or extremely weedy. The only sit-in kayak that I could find that could accommodate me and my dog with a bit of modding is the Argo XR Angler, and I can't find anyone who sells that. The 110 definitely seems worth the money though, at only $1065 Canadian.

@fishingistherapy 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I would agree that it is worth the money. I though of getting a pedal drive as well, but I kayak in rocky conditions and weedy areas as well and didnt want to worry about damages. I wanted the extra leg space and a area to put my bait bucket and this kayak is the best out there for stability, price, modifications and weight. I think you can't go wrong, or you could try the pelican catch 110 hydrive that has a pedal if you really need it.

@hmgddsspec 12 күн бұрын

I have the catch 100 but I’m thinking about a) selling mine and getting the 110 or 120. Or b) build my own/buy outriggers to stabilize the yak By chance have you ever owned the 100? Or know someone who’s owned the 100

@fishingistherapy 12 күн бұрын

I have not owned a 100, but have seen and got feedback from guys on the water sbout it, they have stability issues and tracking issues. I initially planned to get a 100 but after looking into the 110 and the upgrades for ghe money it was a no brainer. Now i have gotten good feedback once stabilizers and after market skeg were added, but I didnt want to do that as it coukd hurt the resale value with all the holes in yak that would be needed. I would say if you have the extra money go for the 110, if your a good diy guy and have the tools necessary then it could make sense for the 100.
