Piece of junk, dont waste the money....very flimsy, pure crap, Berkley should be embarrassed

Does this work with Fly line and reels

New to kayak and I’m definitely getting this one, not the 5x😂

Thanks for the review. This is what we have been waiting for. And I didn't know it existed. Especially for spinning reels, this brings the tackle shop to your home. No more twisted line. And if I'm not mistaken you can even use your drill on the spinning reel spools (at least on the latest edition). I was going to get myself one of those Piscifun spoolers that turn while you spool up to counteract line twist. Meanwhile I was trying to figure out how to build myself a tackle shop spooler on the cheap. The problem was I could not find a decent solution for the chuck to hold the spool. But now my search is over. This is more or less what I wanted to build. For the € 40 I can buy this for I can't build it myself. So I am going to get myself one of these Berkley Max stations. They are even cheaper than the Piscifun spooler. 😃

Thanks for sharing this!! Not having the kick up fins is a deal breaker for me. I have the reverse and kickup on my Hobie which I love....but if I had to pick only one I would choose the kickup fins. Not having the kickup fins means the potential of bending or breaking one or two fins if I hit a rock or log underwater. Not having reverse only means having to use my paddle to go in reverse. If kick up fins is more important to you then a brand new Mirage GT with kick up but not reverse is $825.

I think I'll just walk my wheels back to the car.

I will say that if the bearings fall out, they can be a real pain getting them lined up and staying in place... I was on the water and one of my chains broke, had a spare in the truck, went to the truck and worked on them, well never working on them before, I managed to dump all the pins on the tailgate, didn't have grease, which would have helped hold them in place while installing them back...I was having a difficult time, so the hillbilly in me got to thinking what I can use....lol and a 30/06 bullet fits in the hole perfect 😊 and allows for the pins to line back up without falling out.

Hey, it's been a minute since the conversion. Did it work out? Hope you do more content soon!

Good info, thank you.

This really helped me, thanks for the movie #sweden

Do you remember what size the drill bit was to make the hole bigger for the pin to fit?

Why would you ever rip your yak down the boat launch? Don't be afraid to get your feet wet.

If I was to just buy a Hobie 180 drive would it drop in place with no modifications?

What butt connections did you use for the battery to screen wire. I want something I can unplug when im done to take the battery out prob need to get the waterproof wire connectors

Great video. I need replacement fins for my old V2 Mirage drive with ST turbo fins. I’m wondering if I could use Vibe XD fins as they are way cheaper than the Hobie replacements. Do you have the length of the vibe masts and fins so I can compare to what I’ve got?

Hey bud, would those Vibe Fins work on a Hobie Mirage kayak? Looking for a quick cheaper alternative thanks!

I disagree, I've purchased several kayak carts and I thought this c-tug was gonna be better just because it cost more, but nope, it's just like all the other kayak carts, a pain in the ass loading a fully loaded kayak. I just invested into a Native landing gear and swapped out the tires from the C-tug and it's so awesome now. Just my opinion.

Hello Brother Vic, I just got a Lowrance Hook5x split shot unit for Xmas, I was so happy when I unwrapped it, until I realized it was the 5x unit which I'm told don't have mapping, So my question is, can mapping be added to this unit, since it does have the SD card port on the side ? also love your videos, jeep them coming buddy !!!!

Yo...just subbed cause I liked ur shit

I have a simple question... I'm restoring a 2012 Hobie Revolution 11... Does the vibe pedal drive fit in a Hobie without any adapters?

when u uploading again?

✔️ well done

Does shearwater Xdrive do the kick up fin like hobie when you hit structures?

Thank you making video and explaining why you change spool direction depending on what type of reel your using the only thing I would add is how you tie your knot for bait caster thank you

Thank you for sharing with us

Hey bro i see how it doesnt come with Side Scan For Structure! And all that ? So does it only come with down scan imiging and all that beside the side scan ?

Is it waterproof?

Exactly what I needed to see. Going to do the same with my Pelican HD2

How has the conversion held up over the last several months?

I have used ctug for an year. It is not bad for not too heavy kayaks. But for heavy kayaks, axles will grind off the axle holes into green powder.

I've had this in my closet for almost two years and haven't used it but I'm going to give it a shot.

Just found your channel. Man that thing looks awesome. Does it fit in the original xdrive pod or did u need a new pod?

Nice rig 👍

Got an annoying heavy rusty steel one atm for my mirage. Just bought this

Just came across that hot sauce a few days ago. Love that stuff

so does the Vibe do reverse if you spin it around like the old Hobies?

Where would you rate the X-drive stock vs hobie upgrade. The reverse and kick up are two big factors for me the Hobies are so much more though. I just want to be able to hold my position better with out always having to pick up a paddle.

Is it map compatible? Or is it GPS only?

Great video! Nice kayak too with awesome mods. Can you tell me a little more how/where you mounted your chute for the anchor wizard? Did you drill any new holes for the chute mount? Thanks!

My c-tug doesn’t work that great on rougher terrain. It flips sideways under the boat or it pops apart.

Hey, bro I purchased my 1st and last kayak. I saved for 2 year's, while I researched. My Vibe shearwater, in slate blue. I see no reason to ever upgrade. Been on the bank for year's. Wish I would've known years ago, Being on the water fishing spots, in a vessel you designed is true therapy and serenity out there, where boats cant get to my spots, not even flats boats. While waiting I purchased all I needed like we always do. Approx 5k, in add-on's and accessories. I run my FF, USB/CIGG PORT/VM charger Panel, built and wired inside a 30 cal ammo box, from harbor freight. I fish all FW. My main lake is about 6000 acres, which I still haven't fished it all. I weigh 151lbs 5ft 7". She flies, with the fin drive, and I had to get my Bixpy, J motor, because I do have a heart condition. But the PDL, and paddling is comfortable on this boat. I run my bixpy from spot to spot. I usually use speed 6 to 7, and it last all day long. This winter I have too finish some decals, and want things mounted, but I noticed it takes a while just to learn, where to setup all your accessories and gear. You'd love that bixpy, especially on this kayak. She does cut through the water like butter. Be safe bro, enjoy. 🙏🎣🤟

I have watched dozens of vids of kayak carts. This is the first one to show how to unload directly onto the cart. However. Im going to watch the cart back to the truck because once I got it broke down, it would stay there.

How about sand?

congrats to the winner
