I'm trying to decide between this and the Slayer Max 10. They both have pros and cons. I do wish this came with a cover for the drive hole like the Slayer for when your paddling, but other than that the Old Town is a nice boat. Unfortunately there is no side by side comparisons that i've seen. Great overview and tight lines!

Hello sir this was a very good video you did of your set up for tournaments. I like your kayak I am trying to upgrade to the same one that you had. You have just answered one of my questions. I have big very very wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE with very fat wide toe that Equity straight across making it for a very very wide foot. There's no shoe , sock , or boot that will fit my wide foot so I have to kayak barefooted 👣. Do you know is it easy to Pedal barefooted 👣 and Are the pedals on the kayak pretty wide and how hard is it to change them. One more question? You mentioned the pedals turn up the Crocs? Would the pedals do the same thing to flip flops too. Flip flops is the only thing that will fit me which I can barely fit my foot because my foot is wider than the flip flop straps so this is why I kayak barefooted👣 because it's hard to find a flip flop that's wide enough for a foot that 6 1/2 inches wide. I'm very interesting in buying this kayak. It really sucks having very very wide feet fat wide toes. It's been stopped me from buying a lot of kayak I've been looking at. I apologize for being so long. Again great video thank you for sharing your video.

@FishINwithGRAMPS 3 жыл бұрын

I would probably stick with the stock pedals in your case, or find some wide bike pedals that were smooth for bare feet

@mackjenkins7721 3 жыл бұрын

@@FishINwithGRAMPS oh okay are the stock pedals pretty wide and do you need any special tools to take the pedals off or is it just like taking a regular bike pedal off. My best friend I grew up with said he can trace my foot and possibly weld me some custom pedals so I can pedal barefooted 👣. It is so embarrassing to have very wide feet with fat wide toe like this. I really do appreciate your advice sir.

Torn between the 106 or the 120. I'm 6'3 330lbs. Can't decide which one with pedal drive. I like the Idea of a shorter kayak to throw in the back of the truck. Any suggestions on your experience. Mostly Coastal area and some lake/river use. Thank you (Great Video!)

@FishINwithGRAMPS 3 жыл бұрын

well, I'm 5'7 so I think the 120 would probably fit you better, along with a bed extender should suit you well.

@vtxdaryl 3 жыл бұрын

I’m 5’9”, 245 lbs and just got the 106 PDL. I think if I were you I would buy the 120 PDL. You will have more room in it and it will be a little faster than the 106. You will need the longer boat to go faster with the same effort. The 106 PDL will be much slower for you and you probably won’t be impressed with it. Look at the 120 Predator, it might fit you perfectly.

@79Rybred Жыл бұрын

Im a newbie that Just picked up a PDL 106. What do you use for an anchor? Is it necessary for lake bass fishing?

@FishINwithGRAMPS Жыл бұрын

You will definitely want an anchor. I use one from Da Bomb anchor company. You can use a small kettlebell or dumbell as well. An Anchor Wizard will be your best friend or you can add an anchor trolley kit to the side. I will be doing a beginner kayak series very soon.

@FishINwithGRAMPS 3 жыл бұрын

I don't worry about my feet getting wet and never really pay attention to it. My scuppers drain just fine, but again, it's just not something I think about, so I guess there can't be that much water in their. I will make point to aim the camera more as I'll be fishing a month long kayak charity tournament in April.
