Thanks for the video. You are the first to post a video of actually fishing in the Primo. I ordered one and now waiting for the shipment of Crescents to arrive. Looks like a great little kayak.
I was impressed with it especially for the size and features. It’s very stable for that size boat too. Like anything new, it takes you a moment to get use to the stability, but shortly afterwards you await this big boy stand and paddle upstream in it. lol
Thanks for watching
I am impressed with the Primo. Nice boat. You did a nice job showing off what it can do.
Me too brother! Thanks for watching.
Looked like a successful maiden voyage buddy! Good to see you get out and experience catching a few in it! Thanks for sharing!!
Appreciate it, stormed threw off timing a little, but still got to rip in the new kayak. Thanks for watching
Nice job being the first on the water review of the Primo! I was hoping to be first, but mine hasnt shipped yet. I have the Ultralite, and it is great, but I am getting the Primo for floating shallow streams, and i am liking the dual seating options
Wish I pronounced it right. lol
Thanks for watching! I preordered one from H2:4 Outdoors and he called me as soon as it came in.
I wanted it due to my bad shoulder for car topping. Great investment
@Itchin2Fish yeah I car top too, and can't even lift the ultralite on, so I just set the bow on the roof, then go to the back and lift and slide it on the rack, works pretty good, though I scuff up the back a bit.
Kind of surprised you didn’t just go for a CK1 but looking forward to paddling one of these.
I’m still wanting one. lol
This was for my wife when she goes, I will eventually get a CK and probably sale the Shoalie. With the CK only being 60 lbs, that’s better for me to Jeep top than the Shoalie.
Nice video.. I been wanting to see this on the water. Thanks and Take Care.
Appreciate the view and comment. I just did another float with it today and loving it for shallow moving water. Handled great! Tight lines!
I have an old town 106 pdl that I use to creek fish without the drive and its pretty heavy. It's not great at paddling upstream either. I usually paddle upstream and float back to my truck. I wanted to buy another kayak that would be lighter weight and one that would paddle up the current alot easier. Would you recommend this kayak for that purpose? Is the tracking decent or does it turn when you stop paddling?
This kayak is so easy paddling up stream. I did it for 2 hours yesterday. I did what you do. Park at a bridge and paddled up. The current was pretty swift. Now as soon as I stopped paddling, I was moving all over the place due to the poor tracking. The nose definitely rocks side to side when padding slower, but when your pace is a little quicker it straightens out a lot better.
If you get an anchor and run it off the nose, it will help a bunch.
The kayak is light, easy to carry and easy to paddle upstream. It’s not great at tracking at all, but it’s a fun responsive boat that’s easy to maneuver up and downstream. Tight lines
Sounds like your creeks & rivers are about like ours up here in SW MO.
I kind of like in the way the Crescent line looks but don't know which one.
It doesn't look like there's a one does it all, sort of like buying a dirt bike versus Enduro
Understandable, just like any kayak out there. There is not a one that fits all.
In my opinion the CK or LT2 are great. For best all around, I would buy the LT2. Best tracking and stability out of the solo kayaks. For moving, shallow water CK1 which is fine for deep water too, but won’t track as well and get wind blown more. The LT2 is good for lakes too. The only negative, would be the keel does hang up in shallower water but makes up for it in other areas.
@@Itchin2Fish I Appreciate the thoughts and I'll be watching to see what you got going on. Thanks!
Did you add tracks or anything in tankwell curious how your blackpack is attached to kayak.
Tracks have been ordered, but I’ve been using the provided bungee by working in and around some secured points. It’s been snug with little to no movement.
How tippy does it feel when paddling? Does it feel steady when you lean to one side or like it wants to rock from side to side easily?
I’m 6’ 240 and feel very comfortable in it. Very stable! I know you saw me stand in it in this video. My recent video where I was fishing for smallies, I was leaning pulling into eddies etc. also stood in it looking for Smallie beds. It almost feels like it’s bigger than it is. With any kayak though, it takes a couple of outings to get the full feel with the primary and secondary stability. I love it!
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff, dude
How much room do you have in front? Im debating between the this one and the ck1 to maybe take my 90lb German shepherd out. Do you think one might work?
Primo will be a little small and tippy. I would recommend the CK, LT or Crew.
LT and Crew will be most stable with the keel. My dog loved standing on the LT Hatch while riding. lol
@@Itchin2Fish Do you think the ck1 will work? my tripper is 64lb so I'm trying to get lighter then that. that or maybe use the Tripper for when we go out together and this kayak for just me.
@@nicholn1443 my friend shared it would. He owns one with a lab.
Did it come with a title. I know it had a motor mount i was curious about that
It does a “certificate of origin”. Crescent sends one with all their kayaks. Tight lines!
i kinda dig that yak
Handy light weight boat for that skinny water adventures
What size Black Pack did you use in the Primo?
Mine is the 13”x16”
Great content
Appreciate it! Fishing was bad with storm, but good opportunity to get comfortable with the new yak.
How did it compare to the ultralite?
The UL tracks better with the keel, but for shallow, moving water the Primo is awesome. The Primo moves side to side more when padding, so not as efficient in padding. Most kayaks this size will be like that, but the UL will paddle better than the Primo. The Primo, in my opinion is more stable with some nicer built in feature possibilities. I like the Primo way better, but I hit a lot more moving shallow water vs deep/slow water.
How is it to stand up in?
I’m 6’ 232 lbs and I’m able to do it. I stand a lot so I have practice. Once you are up with your feet up against the walls it’s good. Now the LT/Crew are way more stable. It will make it easier if you attach a stand assist strap to help raise and lower yourself. With wind and current, it’s hard to stay straight while standing with the poor tracking.
@@Itchin2Fish thanks man for the reply! Do you have a lite tackle 2?
@@Itchin2Fish thank you for the info! I’m on the gulf coast of Florida. I do inshore saltwater fishing, so it’s shallow water pretty calm but can be very windy. Trying to find the right kayak. A lot people here use hobie or old town but those things are $$$
preeemo, not prymo, k bud. Love ya.
Ah! Roger that
Does the seat hurt your butt?
Depends on how long the trip is. Few hours no, but 6-8 hours I like extra padding. Thanks for watching
You must have really good balance because I would never stand in any Crescents. Most of them the stability sucks even the Shoalie and that was designed for standing in mind.
Very first time I've heard "stability sucks" on these kayaks. Hull design on Crescent kayaks is amazing. Some don't understand secondary stability. The hull provides the best for speed, ease of paddling, quick turning and stability. Some may prefer slow, barge like rectangles. I get it...
The LT, CK Venture and Crew are very stable. I’m 6’ 238 lbs. Shoalie, Primo and CK1 are less stable options. CK1 is a little better with the keel.
With any new kayak I would take it out without any gear and test the primary and secondary stability. Know the tipping points. Then stand in it and get comfortable with it.
Also there are things that can help in the gym with core and balance exercises.
More than anything, time on the water is best. Tight lines!
It’s Preeemo not PRYMO LOL
Thanks for sharing! Tight lines
No no it's prehmo
