    How do you like this vs the paddle only version? I’m thinking of the paddle version just due to the price being much cheaper, but I’m worried it will be a pain to paddle while fighting currents and trying to fish.

    Hey Alex, love your vids. Do you think I could get that on top of a Toyota fj cruiser? I had a predator pdl on a trailer. Got rid of it because it was too big too heavy plus I needed the money for my 19 foot fishing boat purchase! I miss the simplicity of Kayak fishing and am looking hard at the 106 pdl.

    Aliex I was planning to pick the sportsman 106 tomorrow but am having doubts. Would you recommend this kayak for tidal waters? I’m not trying to go off shore or anything but I’m in the mid Atlantic region and I’m surrounded by a lot of marsh and tidal rivers.

    Aliex, with today's fishing kayaks, I can't see just paddling. I love my fin drive, and my motors. I still get my exercise because, we still paddle once and a while, use a pushpole, but paddling all day, or in tournaments, no way. My 1st motor was a $100 Minnkota 30 lb thrust trolling motor on my 1st kayak. 🌊🎣🛶
