Great video, just ordered one yesterday and this video helped my choice.

Best review I have seen. Mine is coming on Friday. Question - Most folks complain about the depth of the rod holders but you seem to be okay with them? I use 7ft Casting rods so I am wondering if the built in rod holders are deep enough to hold them securely?

Nice reviews! I’m looking at adding one of these to our family fleet. It’ll be dual use for us. It looks like it would work great for fishing, and when we have a family outing it could haul a cooler with drinks and snacks. If you’re ever kayaking with kids, you can’t haul enough snacks lol. 2 things I’d recommend for your comfort. The first is a Stohlquist life jacket. They make 2 versions that have a mesh lower half on the back side. The floatation that normally would be in the bottom is instead doubled up up top. It makes you look hump backed when you’re out of the boat, but when you’re in the boat it fits over top of the seat back for a very comfortable fit. The second is to get one of the strong fiber coated sponges and wedge it between the bottom of the seat and the hull. Any water getting in the boat will collect there and get absorbed. Then you just squeeze it out every so often.

i got the sound , it is decent , easy to transport, hardest part for me is getting out because the boat ramp is very slippery

Best review ever!!! I’m sold!! TY❤

If the inside of your kayaks were clean I wouldn’t trust your review at all. I’m sold on the 10.5

This just hit my thread of videos. I have a Perception Angler (earlier name for the 10.5) & love it! The two compartments up on the dash are for Scotty mounts. Haven't bought Ram Mounts to screw in, but nice that those are up front too. I recently picked up a Sound (9.5) for my daughter & plan on modding it some too so we can go fishing together.

I am very happy with mine, I went with the 9.5 as it fit perfectly in my short bed truck and I can still hook up to my travel trailer, no need for a ladder rack

Dang! Those look great! You guys were flying on that water. Thanks for the review. I might have to find one. 👍

Thank you for the video! Just bought a 10.5 in blue from the local Dunhams sporting goods who had it on sale. Did fish in it a couple of times and haven’t fully gotten used to it, set up etc yet with the seat and gear. Great boat though!

Where's the beer go?

Nice review on your yaks, those are nice boats for sure, as a bigger, old guy with bad knees I just have too much trouble getting in and out of a sit in style kayak so I went for a sit on top. Great seeing that you guys are able to get out so often. Good stuff Josh and Hunter.

This is a great video. Thank you!! Now if I could only find one in stock up here in the Boston area. Sold out everywhere.

Great Video & Thanks For Actually Showing How To Operate The Kayaks In The Water

It was good to see the review, quite a few years ago we used firbreglass kayaks which were probably a lot heavier and that fibreglass could be rough on your skin. Not sure I will be getting one any time soon but I sure do need to get some fishing done. 👍

We’re looking to purchase the sound 10 ft. We want to use it to fish so would like a more steady track. We’ve sat in the 9.5 and really liked it Would you be able to tell me if the cockpit opening is the same size or is it slightly smaller?

Good thorough and practical review. Thank you for the info.

Josh and Hunter, those are nice kayaks!! My son has a Perception 11.5 (I think), I call it a 12 footer, I have a Old Town Vapor 10 Angler. Just got into kayaking this year and only on lakes. Being here in WV we have some nice gentle rivers, but living in Fayetteville, WV, I am only 2 miles from New River and I won't even think about putting a kayak in that river. LOL If you look on my channel you will see a hard lesson I learned on my very first fishing trip with my kayak. I am still going back looking for it as the lake is drained down to its winter pool. I hope I find that rod and reel, it was a father's day present from my wife. I notice you don't have any tethers on your poles when in the rod holders. I added a couple pad eyes and took paracord and carbiners to make some tethers. Of course I wish I had made them longer and maybe my lesson wouldn't of happened. Great video and great review of the Perception kayaks. Juddie - J & J TOA

Looks like some great kayaks. We’ve got a couple 10 ft sit on top fishing kayaks. Lots of fun👍🏻

I'm leaving soon to trade my perception manatee 9.5 for a sound 9.5. I love my boat, I just need a different storage situation on it. I hope the sound handles just as well as the manatee or better lol.

Can you provide guidance comparing the Perception Sound 9.5 vs. the Perception Swifty Deluxe 9.5?

Great video guys. Liked and subscribed!

Great vid. Does the rear cargo area drain into the hull or self bail out of the boat?

what size paddle are you using?

Good review. I have been looking at these kayaks. I have been going back and forth on a sit on top or a sit inside model. Is there anything in particular that made you pick the sit inside model?

Are the cockpit sizes the same in the 9.5 and the 10.5? Tx g.

Nice kayaks, they get used a lot they must be tough, thanks for the review

Stupid question, but do you just keep the fish you catch on a string attached to the kayak?

Hi, was looking to get one. How is the comfort of the kayak? Is it painful to sit in or could you go all day fishing in it?

Is the 10.5 good for duck hunting in a slow moving river?

Those are some nice kayaks!

How tall are you, and do you think someone 6'3 would be too big for the 10.5?

Have you noticed any water getting in the back of the kayak? If you lean too far back?

How does the sound work on the River in minor rapids?

I have to get me a kayak

That is good video .

Just subbed! Nice yaks!

Great video!!

Wassup josh how you doing man

Sweet.

Choosing between the two different lengths.. Any advice? Does the longer one have any advantage over the shorter?
