They all have features that I like and don't like. Just not sure what the better option would be for Smaller-ish lakes, Ponds and rivers.

Love the setup, but I'm complete opposite about the net. I can't stand the bend in the handle and the arm cup on the leverage net. If they offered a straight handle version I'd probably get one. But I just use a short handle wade net that I extend the handle with PVC filled with foam, so it floats. I keep it up front, and the handle is long enough I don't lose fish going for it. My way isn't right for everyone, but it's right for me. ;)

@wadewalcher 2 жыл бұрын

Your videos are always filled with so much information. I’ve been considering a SS127 but, being a bit large the seat sitting higher has me concerned. I can drive a few hours for one in stock. I’m 5’8” 285 currently. I currently have a Vibe Shearwater 125 on order but, unsure when it will actually ship. I’d definitely prefer to buy American made. Both seem like great kayak fishing platforms. I live in Illinois near St. Louis so, I will be fishing mainly ponds, small lakes, and some spring fed rivers in Missouri. I’m also, considering a bow mount trolling set up as well. What’s your thoughts on stability for a guy a bit larger? I’m slowly losing weight but, very slowly. I’m considering picking the SS127 up and still getting the shearwater and just see what one best suits me. What are your thoughts? I also, absolutely love your trailer setup, especially the flags for your patriotism. I’m a Navy Submarine Veteran myself but, looking to keep this kayak on the surface. A new trailer isn’t in the cards yet as I’m just jumping into it all. I’ll be using an old jet ski trailer and have my father assist with some welding modifications since he’s a welder. I’m not planning on doing any tournaments this year but, maybe next year. Keep up the great informative videos. I’m open to any suggestions. Thanks Wade

I’ve set in both the Shearwater and the 127, both are great yaks. I went with the shearwater for the pedals and weight. I got it in December so haven’t really had a chance to fish out of it. I don’t think you can go wrong with either of these yaks…good luck
