In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzitem.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

They're great kayaks! The only thing I'm not wild about with the newer ones is that they got rid of the center hatch. I like to stash a bunch of stuff in there where it's easy to access on the water.

That is quite the setup. Very impressive fabrication on the go pro mounts. Videos like this inspired me to get a fishing kayak last week and so far I have caught more bass out of it than all of last year. I got 5 big boys in 15 minutes this morning, that yak was well worth the money.

It's either that one or the 6' 10" MF. Lately I've been thinking about going for a ML option for light grubs and weightless plastics. So many option! Can't decide!

Any particular reason you went from one Tarpon 120 to another Tarpon 120? I'm eyeing the Tarpon line for my first kayak and leaning towards the 100 because of space, money, and ease of transport. The 120 is probably more future proof, but I'd to spend some money rigging it up. This setup is ridiculous though - I watched your video on the newer one also. The new green color is excellent.

I watched the 2011 Kayak set up last night and the 2014 this morning. The 2011 version is more to my liking (needs) clean and simple. I don’t intend to film or use a fish finder. I will be sight fishing in skinny water. The thought of using a fish finder still lingers in my mind so time will tell. Some of the 2014 and your current set up video is so over my head yet still fascinating. If you opened a kayak outfitting service you would be booked solid for years to come. The 2014 front camera mount is a thing of beauty. I want one just because it is so beautiful. The 2011 rear light is so clever yet simple, something I can use. I checked the weather in Fargo last night. Daytime highs ranging from 50 to 70 degrees, can we expect a new video soon?

Lithium power banks weren't available, or at least affordable back when I first put these camera rigs together. That's the way I'd go if I was to rebuild something like them. I think most if not all of the lithium power banks have a 5v usb output so there's no need for any voltage converter, just a usb to mini usb cord for the older GoPro's or a usb to I belive it's a type-c connector cord on the newer GoPro's, then you just run the cord from the power bank to the input on the GoPro and it will charge as you film. These days I do most of my filming with the hat cam for a better point of view when I stand up or hop out of the kayak. The Hero 5 I use has pretty decent battery life, at least in warm weather. It will usually run about 90 minutes on 1080/30 before I have to swap batteries and I have about a dozen of the generic 3/$20 type you can find on Amazon. I also chopped up the frame case the Hero 5 comes with so I could epoxy a small part of it with the mounting tabs to the top of the GoPro. This allows me to swap batteries without even taking the hat off, rather than removing the whole thing from the hat, then removing the GoPro from the case to access the battery door. Less time messing with the camera and more time fishing!

I have a drill, dremel, jig saw, and a cheap drill press I use to make everything. Most of the parts with a flat edge I'll cut and dremel sand them as good as I can get, then I lay an old 9ah fish finder battery on a piece of sandpaper and hold the plastic piece against it while sanding to get a nice 90 degree edge. For all the round parts I'd cut them as close as I could get then drill a hole in the middle, screw a machine screw into it, then pop it into my drill press and use it like a lathe with a sharpened nail or a small file to remove material. I used King Starboard for a lot of the parts. It's a marine grade version of HDPE plastic although regular HDPE (cutting board plastic) also works fine. I used some pvc fittings for the project too but even those had to be modified in one way or another.

No problem! It took me well over a month to build both the camera rigs last time. A lot of that time was spent just brainstorming how to tackle the next step in the building process. I used lots of double sided carpet tape to temporarily hold plastic pieces together while drilling holes for screws and for making duplicate parts. HDPE is easy to work with but doesn't bond with glue well so pretty much everything has to be screwed together. One thing that would make the rig a lot easier to build would be instead of having the electrical connector pins internally like I do, keep the power supply in the milk crate but have a cord from it long enough to wrap around the pole and up to the camera once it's in place. Honestly if I ever ran mine into a tree and had to rebuild that's probably how I'd do it.

I guess I've just never had much luck with them either. I prefer a Reef Runner Cicada or a Spook for working large areas of water. Most of the time on the small rivers I fish its easy to look along the bank and see spots where smallies will likely be hiding so throwing a jig in front of their ambush spot will usually get them.

You have inspired me to purchased the tarpon 100 which I plan to take on its maiden voyage this weekend. Currently I am working on the crate and anchor trolley system. What kind of crate did you use with your tarpon 120 and did it fit without modfiying? Do you find the dual trolley system is best or would a single trolley/full length trolley be fine? Thanks for the inspiration! Love the videos!

Tom Wallis Thanks Tom and congrats on picking up a kayak! I found an awesome spot today on the river to do a setup video with my new Tarpon so I'll be getting that edited and uploaded in the next week or two. Overall its set up pretty similar to this one. I use a standard size milk crate with a couple modifications. I had to grind down the two vertical edges along the front facing side so they slanted downward toward the bottom for it to fit flat against the front of the tank well. I also added a plastic piece on the bottom along the front so it would lift it up to the same height as the two ridges that run most of the length of the tank well, that way it sits nice and flat. The main problem I always saw with full length trolleys is keeping the ropes from creeping up over the side. The dual trolley on this kayak worked great, although I never really used the front portion so on my new kayak I only did from the center handle to the back.
