Doing an experiment to see how well the Jackson Kayak Bite and Liska handle a full 325 pounds of paddler and gear. I was pleasantly surprised by both boats as you will see. The Liska was a bit wetter, but both handled the load well.

Finally a great review of the kayaks when fully loaded up with bigger guys and their gear. I pack for all day fishing. I carry a cooler, fishing gear, an anchor, push off pole, small emergency tent, 3-4 combos, and the required safety gear. It's a lot then add my own body weight. The BITE handles it just fine. Is it the fastest, no. Do the Bass care, not even a wit. Can I quick set a hookset and grab a net without a roll, every time. Wind? A lot of people are surprised about the amount of wind FLORIDA fishing deals with. The BITE handles that too. It's that Good.

Thanks for showing us this test Chris! I was leaning towards buying Jackson Bites for the missus and I, now I'm sure the Bite will be perfect for us.

This is a good video. Very interesting. I own the liska and weight 155# and have water right at my feet when I stand. I think there needs to be an internal support rub or something put in that spot to support some of the flex. It’s not an issue. Just saying it always holds water when standing.

im kind of stock between this Bite and the old town topwater 106 for bass fishing. Both looks so good to me under 900$. Thanks for putting videos of the Bite. there arent to many yet.

I am loading up another right now of a side by side with it and a Liska. The Bite is a terrific boat for that price!

I also like the Topwater 120, on sale at Dicks for 899 starting May 05. 500 pound capacity! Stable.

Anyway possible to do that with big rig ? These test are hardly ever done and answer a lot if questions for people, great job. Would there be any difference in tests if scupper plugs were in ?

@ChrisFunktheFeralOne 5 жыл бұрын

if i had one handy i'd do it! i did the Coosa HD with a ton of weight and it was very eye opening. the amount of weight the Rig can carry is staggering so i would imagine it would do wonderfully. i don't run scupper plugs because i fish rivers and often take water over the bow. if i have plugs in, the water cannot drain and it would not be good.

Really enjoy your videos. Still torn between a Bite and Liska. Is getting up to stand and fish equally as easy in both boats? Leaning toward the Bite, but I'm 66 years of age. Thanks for your help.

Thank you! Yes sir, they are equally stable to me, I just ordered another Bite for my fleet. I am very impressed with that kayak!

I’m a big guy I’m 6’6” 330 lbs so I’m just wondering if the bite is for me or not ?? Don’t really wanna drop the extra $$$ for the big rig

Jared, i had no issues paddling it here or standing with 325 in it. It wasn't sluggish or anything. For sure demo one if you can, but from my experience, i think you will like it!

@eragebardi 5 жыл бұрын

325 tested looks to me doing ok, but close to limit though, if not absolute max. 400 max load told by JK will likely not be ok to paddle. Will float, but likely not fun anymore. Thanks for vid, good to see.

You are correct, at 400 they would be a chore to move, i would for sure be looking for a big rig or DT in that range.
