In todays fishing video I try to flip my kayak! I have never tried to flip a kayak before! I wanted to see how far I could push my Old Town Autopilot before it would finally tip. I was super surprised how far I could push it and it not flip over! Have you guys ever flipped a kayak? Do you guys want to see me flip more kayaks? Let me know down in the comment section down below.

Probably the best kayak stability test I've ever seen. Great job and thanks for doing the ultimate test.

@craigforsgren9993 Жыл бұрын

I’ve been looking at this model. I was really impressed by how stable it appears to be. I’m 73 years old, about 6’3”, and hit about 260lbs, so I’m looking for something that will carry my size, easily. Even more important than that, I was in a bad car accident about a year and a half ago, and now my stability is a bit shaky, so I really need something that will keep me in the boat, rather than out of it. Thanks for the great info. I think this will be my next purchase…👍👍

Excellent demo video. Not only did it show me the ability of the autopilot 120 you also showed me how to flip the kayak back over should I flip it. Thank you for the tips excellent video

I flipped my 136 this weekend, coming back in Carolina Beach Inlet. The bow stuffed when a wave hit from behind and pitched it over. I thought of this video and tried to flip it, but with gear hanging underneath I just couldn’t get it flipped until I was rescued. Now I’m finding out the trolling motor isn’t water proof, and is behaving very erratically. You didn’t have any problems with the trolling motor after submerging? Thanks for this video!

Glad your okay Steven! I didn’t have any issues. It might be the difference between salt and fresh water.

I did the same test in my 106 this summer came to the same conclusion. In real world situation it will just never, ever, ever flip. If I was standing and suddenly had something crazy happen I would fall out and the kayak would be waiting upright for me to crawl back into. If I was sitting nothing short of a hurricane would flip it.

Hey man I have a question. I'm looking for a spinning rod to throw smaller Keitech's (2.8, 3.3) and other small swimbaits on (open hook). Was looking at the Lews TP-1 Black. Was looking at the 7' medium as well as the 7' med-light. But I haven't been able to get my hands on them to check them out. You have any experience with either of these rods? If so, which would you recommend?

@AlexRuddFishing 4 жыл бұрын

I've not had a TP-1 Black spinning rod but I have several of the casting rods and love them. I do however have the Custom spinning rod and it is amazing. Very light, sensitive, and minimalist design. You can check it out here bit.ly/3b4OHAF
