Testing My New Fishing Paddle Board!

Рет қаралды 7,684

Жыл бұрын

I have fished from kayaks, jon boats, bass boats, and more. But this? This is a new one. I recently received a Glide Angler Inflatable Fishing Paddle Board and decided it would be fun to unbox and test it for all of you to see. Stay tuned for part 2 & 3 in this mini-series.

Video 2) Bass fishing on the paddle board: • Bass Fishing On A PADD...
Video 3) COMING SOON My initial thoughts on fishing paddle boards
On today's trip, I focused on getting it set up. Once I was on the water, I grabbed an ultralight and limited gear to simply catch a few fish. Fortunately, the micro drop shot paid off and I scored a few bass and bluegill.

Paddleboard fishing is my jam!! Nothing like fighting a fish whilst trying to maintain your balance on the board. Even better when you have people walking by that get to witness your feat of awesomeness!

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

Hahaha your feat of awesomeness. Honestly I have been on this thing a handful of times now and I love it more each trip. Fun rig!

The leash is for your ankle. And it is called a skeg (the fin). I have been eyeing one of these! Glad to see a review coming from a trusted source!

I’ve been debating on an inflatable paddle board or a folding kayak because I don’t really have a place to store a regular kayak. That thing looks awesome, and I can’t wait for the next few videos!

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

Personally, I would go with a SUP over a folding kayak. I have never tried the folding kayak but I have watched several videos and seen them in person and they look very unstable / not suited for fishing. Just my opinion! The SUP gives you a tremendous amount of customization options and it is super comfortable for simple fishing trips too.

@@FishAnything I really appreciate that suggestion, and from your videos I can tell this is actually made for an angler. I’d also like the cooler as an option too!!

That looks cool. I am sure you could put a chair on it and then stand and sit as you need to. If you hook into a decent size pike, it could get you going about 5 or 6 mph kind of like a free torqeedo. Looks super fun. I have been looking at the NRS inflatable kayak. Something lightweight and easily stored. I wonder about the wind pushing me all over though. Thanks for the video on the new and improved channel. 👍

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

Thank you Paul! Definitely going to be a fun piece of equipment. I don't think I will rig it out too much - I like the simplicity as it is. I am still pretty reluctant to try an inflatable kayak at this point due to the keel design. That being said, I would definitely love to get one so I could bring some information/opinions to the channel. Never say never.

It's certainly provides anglers a choice but for the money the kayak seems to be the way to go. More gear can be taken in the kayak plus the kayak provides greater stability on bigger water. As I said it's a choice but it wouldn't be worth $800 to me.

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

I agree that a kayak is a better fishing platform for the price. The reason I think this is cool is that not everyone has space or transportation abilities for a kayak. This packs down so small!

I still have my old fish finder (Lowrance Hook2 5X). And I don't think I will slap too many gizmos on this rig. I think it is better suited for simple fishing trips with lesser gear. It has the capacity, but it cuts down on speed/comfort to add a bunch of stuff.

@@FishAnything I think someone else mentioned like the Airhead Sup Training Wheels. Seems like a good minimalist way to increase the stability for fishing from any position on the fly.

Seemed really rigid, does the seat sit flat on top of it or is it raised up? Glad you got some! Now to see how long it holds air?

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

That is a foam pad on top. The little lines are pretty unnoticeable and I assume that is for water to drain off. It is incredibly comfortable! And the seat just straps down but I can't quite figure it out. Feels a bit cheap so I think a cooler being strapped to the tie-downs would be the way to go. Add a little cushion if you'd like. And it has been inflated in my garage for a while and has zero deflation. I think it will be totally solid!
