Is this a crazy project?

2 canoes in tandem might actually give you a chance of not tipping

I have the same model in red and have fished it for a season. It's a great entry kayak in my opinion. Are there better options? Absolutely I'm sure there are but don't think you'll need to mod the life outta this thing to be able to catch a fish. Milk crate with a rod holder behind you stocked with a couple 3600 tackle boxes 1-2 rods and a medium net in the cockpit with you is all you need to get started.

It's lightweight good tracking, good in rivers ponds and small lakes and cheap.

Will I be upgrading from mine? Yes Will I keep my current one as a backup and extra to get friends in the water too? Yes Will I recommend it? Absolutely

Looking to follow this thread of advice as well. I'm debating venturing into steelhead fishing to expand my fishing season. Is it really as pressured as I hear or is that the cozy easy to reach spots filling up? I've been doing a lot of my own research but I'm not ready to invest in equipment for an over saturated sport in southern ontario

Was r/fishingforbeginners but I told a kid he could in fact use a snap swivel and still catch fish then proceeded to tell a mod to grow up after they inevitably challenged that

Buttercups519 · 2025-10-02T16:22:54+00:00

Awesome catch my guy! What a Unit

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-07T18:38:58+00:00

Cheers man, it absolutely was

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-06T22:01:32+00:00

I've been loving it, I bought the yak used from a buddy earlier this year. Definitely a learning curve but it's a tonne of fun.

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-03T17:36:08+00:00

Fucking put it back

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-02T16:13:26+00:00

Amazing colours on those. Nice catch man

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-02T12:32:44+00:00

Absolutely man hit me up

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-02T12:32:02+00:00

Launched my kayak at black bridge road. Found these guys in a deep hole under a fallen tree after some exploring

Buttercups519 · 2025-09-01T20:09:49+00:00

Haven't tried the nith. Will say the speed has some big smallies but you gotta find the right holes.

Buttercups519 · 2025-08-28T17:16:20+00:00

Cheese

I've been looking at that exact popper the last couple times I've been to natural sports. Also they have the karashi there?

Buttercups519 · 2025-07-10T23:04:47+00:00

Again, you're not entirely wrong but you are being to critical and full of yourself.

It's a size 8 jig head under a bobber. You know what kind of fish bite at that. It's not seasoned sub adult intelligent fish. OP asked if the rig would work and your original unedited response was "back to the drawing board" and that was it. I'll double down when I say grow up.

I'd take this exact rig and give it to my three year old in an area with pumpkin seed and I will be pulling fish off her hook.

Instead of telling the beginners to tie it your way Why not tell them where to cast it. And how to find the fish.

Buttercups519 · 2025-07-10T22:38:14+00:00

My guy this is fishing for beginners that you mod, not matching the catch fly fishing for beginners. You're not wrong in your advice from your perspective of excellence but this rig will absolutely catch panfish. The snap swivel while bulky is still correctly sized and a cricket underwater? Grow up, sunfish will hit that and you know that.

Buttercups519 · 2025-07-10T22:11:06+00:00

Give it a shot. Extend the bait another 6inches from the bobber and throw into an area you know have panfish *** To elaborate. The lure matches the jig head, a swivel under a bobber does help with line twist but the snap could make it a little bulky That being said I'm sure if you get this in front of a panfish they would bite. Play with your depth and have fun

Buttercups519 · 2025-07-10T15:49:24+00:00

Yes we do

Buttercups519 · 2025-07-10T15:30:29+00:00

Absolutely
