The Best inflatable Fishing Kayak EVER?

Күн бұрын

Unboxing, Inflating and Paddling the brand new iATAK 110. Official launch for this boat is March 7th 2024. This could be the perfect solution for the avid angler that has limited storage. It is comparatively priced with mid level hard shell fishing kayaks, with the added benefit of being able to fit inside the trunk of your car or in the closet. When you consider the pumps, seat, accessory mounts and storage bag, the price seems reasonable. I for one, never thought I'd be fishing (seriously) from an inflatable kayak. Let alone really enjoy it. Yet, here we are. I will be putting this boat to the test over the coming months. I hope you come along for the ride!

I always find it so funny that people who hear I fish out of an Inflatable boat or my Inflatable Kayak, the first thing they say is, " I would be worried about a hook puncturing it." Both of my vessels are great for fishing and the boat is no different than my aluminum counterpart. The trick I find is not to think about it as different, the material used is strong and very puncture resistant. It is not a pool toy, they are great alternatives for people who need portability

The first thing I noticed is the weather 😩. I wish I was the there right now!!! I live in Canada and all I have is snow and cold 🥶. I'm in the process of selling my house and thinking of moving somewhere warm like Florida. But I wish the immigration process was easier 😒 I've always said to everyone I know that I'm an American at heart ❤️ and I need to find a way to move there permanently. But love your videos it's always fun to escape the cold even if it's just virtually lol 😂.

Brother, I know how you feel. Living in Northern Michigan is getting old at 63 years old I am ready for a change in latitude. Remember, you are not only an "American at heart" you ARE an American because you do live in America! We often forget the difference between the United States and America.

Some tips from an old inflatable fishing device user, i hope it helps somebody: The sun will increase pressure, so take that in mind if you are in warm water with a southern sun above. I always carry the tube of the pump inside the kayak so if you have any pressure losses during your travels you can always return, one good idea would be to carry that electric pump with you besides the manual pump pipe. Of course, avoid oysters 😂 And have all a nice day!

@drjekelmrhyde 4 ай бұрын

He didn't mention that this thing has pressure valves on it in case the heat tries to over inflate it. I would not use this in cold northern waters in spring.

@WoWDwArfRusSiAn 3 ай бұрын

@@drjekelmrhyde yeah, dont understand how they didnt think of this when designing this product. Yes, it will prevent the kayak from exploding from overpressure in the sun. However, it will also lose pressure and deflate automatically upon contact with cold water. This scenario isnt going to be catastrophic like the other, but you will be obligated to carry the pump with you in the water.

@sanpansam7977 3 ай бұрын

Excellent advice. I used to do the same with my Zodiac 9 ft. inflatable. Got to keep the pump in the boat at all times.

Great review. This is exactly what I have been looking for to help make the nomad fisherman RV life even easier. Makes it so I don't have to have a toy hauler to have a solid/reliable fishing Yak for all of the lakes/inland waters that I'm near to. Perfect unit for my needs. Cant wait to get mine and to see what you have done with yours. New sub!

@RobbsHomemadeLife 4 ай бұрын

Hey Marty, the kayak looks well-designed. I live in a small apartment so am a big fan of inflatable boats. I was impressed by the bag. Nearly all inflatables I have owned come with a bag so small the boat will not go back in. This bag looks like it will fit the boat well. If an inflatable is stored in an apartment and used for fishing it needs to be cleaned very well. Inflatables are time-consuming compared to rigid boats but they are often the only option. My only suggestion is the company produces a kayak in Marty Zoffinger orange like the old kayak we all watched you start the channel with. Looking forward to more reviews of boats that people in apartments can use. ( and a sailing kayak,LOL) see ya Marty

NRS Star Rival is great inflatable, 3 separate chambers, drop stitch floor and framed seat.

@WoWDwArfRusSiAn 3 ай бұрын

its great but the two side chambers are not drop stitch unlike this one. So the rigidity, performance and endurance of this one should be the closest there is to a hardshell kayak, pretty revolutionary if you ask me.

@HH-xf9il 4 ай бұрын

@1jimif 4 ай бұрын

Looks pretty cool! I have had an outcast pac1000 pontoon boat for about 20 years. I love it but it takes a good half hour to assemble after you get to the water. The big plus is it can fit in the back of a small hatch back. I do have one tip to pass on...On a warmer day the air will expand and the psi will go up, just be sure to check how firm it feels after you have been out on the water. With the pontoon boat it's easy to let some air out of the pontoons (on the water)when the psi goes up on you. On warmer days I leave the pontoons psi a little low because I know they will firm up as it gets warm....FishOn...Jim

Been fishing from my Seagle 380x for years. It’s my travel boat, when the Northriver can’t go. Folds up and fits in the SUV nicely. The 380x had taken my down Klamath rolling over rocks and very stable. It is the first generation of “drop stitch “

good times in my 380x almost killed us a few times. but if you carry a good kite boarding pump and some patches you should be ok. ended up tossing it after the mice chewed a a big hole in it.

Looks great. You need to talk to those folks at wilderness about revising the commander 120. I have caught more fish out of that thing than any kayak. I’ve had it for about 13 years now. Definitely will be looking at this for a creek/river boat.

@lutzpjey1079 4 ай бұрын

Hello Marty I enjoyed watching your videos back then when you still had your motorboat Kon Tikki and went on a few tours with your friend. I almost felt like I was there when I wasted my thoughts on it like that. Unfortunately it's not as feasible here as it is in the USA, well what do you want to do, I as a single father with 2 children can't do that. So thank you again for your impressions. Greetings Lutz from Northern Germany

Great review Marty. I don't think this would be for me. Upper body health problems mean I need a pedal or motorised Kayak. Also here in the UK, a lot of folk on a number of forums say that the inflatable Kayaks don't track very well, and there have been cases of users being blown out to sea from the Harbour and having to be rescued. They seem to catch the wind more than solid Yaks or SUP's. Stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍

I own SeaEagle for couple of year now - a similar idea but I’m missing accessory mounts and foot rests… but turnable seat makes it hard to go back to regular kayaks… one potential problem I see is paddling in crosswinds… it is also possible to put a trolling motor on SeEagle is possible, I only did it twice and wasn’t impressed, so I would not gonna miss it… but it good to finally have mo choices for inflatables - easier to get by without a truck 😉

Very interesting review and product. How does it compare to your catch mode? I like my catch mode, but I don't like it how paddles. Slow as hell, feels like a barge. This one seems similar in many ways, but seems to paddle better.

I saw this video and I was interested in buying one to store at my family members house in Florida for when I go down for fishing trips. But, for the $1,700 price I think I'll just buy someones used kayak to use a few times a year. I'll be headed down in a few months in May to fish Tampa bay / Weedon area.
