Perfection Loop. Fly Fishing Knot
Переглядів 232 роки тому
The perfection loop is a must learn for any angler, but I highly recommend it for fly fishing. Fly line often ends in a loop connection. Therefore, if you learn the perfection loop knot, you can attached your leader to fly line with the loop to loop connection.
Bixpy Jet Motor Install on Old Town Kayak.
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
This is a video of install of a Snipe Air Industries Ultra Rudder and a Bixpy J2 Jet Motor on an Old Town Topwater PDL 106 Kayak. I added the bixpy motor to change locations more quickly while fishing. The sniper rudder is also an upgrade from the stock rudder on my old town. The new rudder is made of metal and came ready for the bixpy install. My name is Tasha and I had Carli help me with the ...
Volume is a little low. Showed the cable guide. Other persons video didn't show that.
What happened to the crossbar for your Boondox? You're going to have problems without it! Too much stress it'll cause cracks! I'm thinking of adding a Newport but I'll use the anchor pole mount so I can use the Kayak without the motor or when the motor is raised.
Great video. Purchasing one ASSP!
Where can I get that mount?
In terms of power, is this as strong as Newport nk300 please? Is it possible to install nk300 the same place...?
Did you get the SAI ULTRA RUDDER ASSEMBLY to work with ultra rudder. Want to make sure I get the same setup
Nice job! I mounted mine in a fixed position on the power pole mount. Great light motor perfect for a kayak!
Nice 👍
Thanks 🤝🏼
Any issues with raising and lowering the rudder with the weight of the rudder with motor?
Nope! I can easily move the rudder in and out of the water .
How did you get the steering control working? I can’t seem to get mine to hold any tension when running new steel cable for the rudder. I installed it the exact same way I pulled the stick cable out but I seem to lose tension on one side and can’t get the rudder to hold position
I have a Topwater PDL too. Like your setup. Wish Bixpy would make the power source more flexible. Just got a $$ 100ah LiFePO4 Bat combined with a side mounted Newport trolling motor. It gets the job done, but the big battery make sure I can run full power for 4 hours +. What's your topspeed by the way?
Has this modification worked out well for you? Considering the same on a PDL 106. Thanks
I do love the set up. I think for the price of the bixpy with the included battery is hard to beat at the price. There are faster motors out there , but most are going to require a large lithium battery and that it’s self is a $1000. So bixpy is a good mid level price range. It has made a difference in how i fish and where I fish. I zoom all over the place now and find myself cranking a lot more to find new fish.
Won’t that cable dig into the plastic?
Remind me what are you area referring to ?
When you reattach the steering, you used a cable. My predator pdl has a cord. I was just wondering if the cable rubbing through plastic was an issue. I’m considering the same setup. Thanks
Im about to do a build with newports 24v 86lb, and a old town center pod on a bigwater 132. Will post video. Just waiting for iceout. Was going to do bixby but I dont do proprietary batteries unless they milwaukee.
Nice ! I do understand your hesitations with it. Newport makes an awesome set up ! I just decided that I wanted a low profile approach to motor assistance. I really prefer to pedal because I love to get in the outdoors for exercise . So the bixpy to meet is more of a pedal assist . I like the simplicity of the design .
I want to see your results. How does Newport handle?
Thanks for the video. will you do another video when you get this on the water, Please..
Absolutely . Thanks for the comment .
Hello, install similar on my pdl120 using the universal rudder adapter, but using the handle to pull up the rudder with the cable that come with the kayak, do not hold the rudder up due the weight, so when i pull up the rudder and remove my hand to hold it, then always the handle return back. How is in your?
@@usermiamiusa yes the weight is an issue . My set up is pulled down by the weight even though bixpy is light. I have a fix in the works for this and once the snow storms let up in Utah I will get a video posted for it.
