I believe this is the best kayak review/walk through video I have seen. I've had a half way decent sit in fishing kayak for a few years. Because of some health issues I'm no longer able to sit in it for more than 30 minutes. So I'm researching for my upgrade. Comfort is the most important thing for me. I was already considering a lure 11.5 because it can be retrofitted with the new overdrive pedal system. Freshwater during the day and saltwater at night! Thanks for doing this video, it's very helpful.

I'm glad the review has helped you! I wish I would have went with the 11.5 as well, but this is all they had when I purchased it. I probably wouldn't have needed the outriggers with a longer boat that would handle my weight better, but either way it works great!

Russ, Besides the paddle, I carry a 8’ banister pole with or without a duckbill depending on the bottom I am fishing. Paddles and motors make noise with spooky Reds. I have glided right over and near Redfish with that push pole. If the bottom is real soft and anchor not holding, shove that push pole straight down and secure to a short leash. Harry

Hello from Greece! Great review dude , I am about to get the lure 10 with a lovely desert camo for sea fishing(not way far from the coast though). I went to a local shop today and took a close look on both lure and moken series , sadly lure 11.5 was way out of my budget , so i was between the faster moken 12.5 and lure 10 but after i sat on both of them, my heart went for lure. The seat , the cockpit and the comfort that brought this kayak was from another galaxy and i feel that i wont get disappointed even if i need to paddle a little more to reach my destination!

Greetings from South Africa. I watch your video with great interest. Our saltwater kayaks are very different. 15ft kayaks are common, they are smooth and fast. And designed to tip over with no problems. Rods and gear are stored inside. It is designed to launch through 10ft waves. Flatwater only exists in harbours. But it does require strength and skill. The biggest fish we target are sailfish. Your catch is also stored inside when returning through the waves. What fish do USA saltwater kayak fisherman target?

The Lowrance fish finder comes with the wiring harness, I just attached battery clips on the positive and negative wires. The trolling motor kit also came with it's on wiring harness, which also attaches to the same battery. As far as the lights, I used braided 12 awg wiring. I do have a power inverter I bring with me in a dry bag, but it also attaches right to the battery if and when I need it to charge batteries and such. The Lowrance shows battery voltage, and I can normally go 4 to 5 hours without having to worry about draining the battery to much and that's with quite a bit of moving around and trolling for fish

I'm glad you did this video, been wanting to ask a few questions about it. I have 2 kayaks now I'd like to sell and get one really good one like yours. With the seat all the way up i would guess like you said it becomes more unstable, probably can't paddle it properly from that height? And can you adjust the seat up and down while on it, or do you have to be off the boat? Finally what's the weight limit on that, normally a 10 footer would not be enough for my size.
@SmokyRibsBBQ
8 жыл бұрын
+Food Porn Network Gary, the seat is easy to raise and lower from the kayak. You just pull on the red strap and it collapses all the way down (for paddling), then just grab the seat and pull it back up to the desired height. I like mine all the way up. The weight capacity on the Lure 10 is 375 pounds. The Lure 11.5 is 425 pounds, and the Lure 13.5 is 500 pounds. I am short, but not light at all, and it handles me and all my gear with no problem and easy to load on a truck only being 10 feet long, but I am sure the longer versions would be even that much more stable and they hold more weight for sure
