thank you for helping me on some of your videos. especially since I'm a new kayaker. though i bought m lure 13.5 used and not new, im impressed with it. the reviews you do make it an easy one for when i will choose to upgrade it as well.
Bought my Lure 11.5 (Winter Camo color) back in July 2017, through Hook1 in Hendersonville, TN, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I ord'd the rudder kit and installed it, and it makes a world of difference in keeping it on track. The 11.5 isn't hard to maneuver without a rudder, the rudder just makes it a whole lot easier keeping it on track while paddling, especially on windy days.
I also use the foot-controlled rudder to drift and steer along the shoreline while casting/retrieving, when a slight breeze is at my back pushing me.
The wheel in the keel is handy on grassy, smooth surfaces, but I transit a gravel parking lot from the truck to the launch dock, so I invested in a C-tug, which makes transporting it a lot easier.
Very stable rig, and anxiously wtg for Spring to return to western Kentucky so I can get back on the water.
Where did you get a solid color Lure? Thought the Lure's only came in the camo versions.
Greg Jackson we know a friend in high places. We get some custom boats now and them.
Very good video very informative on the different the difference between the three types I really enjoyed it
I have had the 11.5 for around 4 plus years . I love it for lakes, ponds and big rivers .
I am 240 lbs and 5’11” .
Truly unfortunate that I'm on the east coast. I'm subscribed here on youtube and follow Headwaters on instagram and this guy, and presumably his entire company, appears top notch. This place would be my local b&m without blinking an eye. Yall out in CA are lucky. Wishing Headwaters loads of success and thanks for all of the great info.
Awesome video Dan.
I need to see the beach launch test and going through breakers. With a 36" width it should make for a good diving platform.
Got the 11.5 and love it
Hey Dan: Feelfree, it seems to me, leaves the peddler "blind" (fishfinder has to be removed).
Thanks for providing good information. Also like your help/work with Greg B.
I have the Lure 10 and absolutely love it..
Very stable and easy to load and unload at any of your destinations..
I ordered a Island hoppers trolling motor holder that they offer built specifically for the Lure line.
I will be using one this year to allow me to get out on some of the bigger lakes in my area...
The pedal drive looks nice but it costs nearly as much as the kayak itself..
Hey David. Do you find the 10' is still sturdy enough to stand and fish?
Brad Ewing I weigh 240 and find the lure 10 very stable and easy to stand and fish from..
But to be honest...your best value is to go with the lure 11 it's just a couple of hundred bucks more and you have a ability to upgrade compared to the 10..
thanks David. Mine is on order. Can't wait.
I own 11.5 and best of its kind. Stability is one of top ranking Kayak. I can stand and pitch my lure precicely. Hook set chances are much higher while standing. Also comes with sonar pod which 10 doesnt have.
I am really torn between the lure 2 tandem and the yellowfin 130t. I like stability but don't want to get bogged down either. I heard the lure 2 is very slow but stable. If you could do a video in the future on the lure 2 tandem solo and with a buddy would be very helpful thanks keep up the good work.
Does the wheel in the keel make that much of a difference when launching your kayak? Is it there for ease of launch and drag from the vehicle, or to just protect the boat from scratches? Thanks for the video. Leaning toward the 11.5, much is due cause of the wheel. Opinions appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for clearing the usage up, take it to the ocean. I'll have one thanks.
Thanks again!
Great video! I know everything is on back order now, but I really want to order the 13.5 and wait until they're in stock. Question though...is it 36" wide or 34" wide? The feelfree site lists it as 34" wide, but you mentioned the 10.5 was 36". Can you advise which is correct? Thanks!
I will love to see a comparison with strictly offshore boats... 13ft and more.
When attaching a transducer under the sonar pod, does it extend below the hull? I would hate to scratch it up when dragging it onto the shore
I'm debating between the Lure 10 or 11.5. I weigh 180 and i'm 5'9. I am looking at upgrading my Lifetime Tahoma kayak and either going to an Ascend 10, 128 or Lure 10 or Lure 11.5. Any thoughts. I mostly Kayak fish in ponds, lakes and Rivers.
What size tackle box fits in the cutouts next to the seat?
Are you going to do a video on the lure with the electric Drive
The lure 13.5 seems really low in the water towards the back. I’m 6’3 and 320. Don’t want 2” of water coming in through scupper wholes. Should I consider this or stick to Old Town PDL or Titan 13.5? Going to buy soon
what do you do for your fishfinder if you buy the overdrive system which takes up the place of the sonar pod? I am looking to buy and am between the 11.5 and 13.5. Problem is that nobody around here stocks the 13.5. I am 6'3" 275.
Do you have to be a big guy for 13'5? What if you're a small guy with a big heart that wants lots and lots of storage? I'm spearfishing purely, so I need to tie the yak on kelps, or use an anchor while I'm freediving, and I like to empty my catch of fish and invertebrates back every 10-20 mins or so, the extra space is awesome for that matter. also I launch from the weirdest places, rocky and/or sandy beaches, I enter where the waves break and stay with my yak for a little bit, then jump in when it is calm. so I was under the impression 11'5 is what I need because of its size, but after watching your video, I now think the tracking is a lot better in 13'5 in northern cali waters.
How does the Lure compare with Jackson. ?
What do you guys think about the Moken 14? It's hard to find some good reviews on it.
Hey Dan great Video I'm 5'11" 250 I definitely going with feelfree I'm just not sure witch one yet the 11.5 or 13.5. 50 % of my fishing is going to be salt water. but I don't plan on going to far out. 2nd question does the paddle drive work on the 13.5 as well?
KAYAK HOOKED yes it does.
What the model of the two seater kayak
Ok, your choice for off shore and SF bay, the Free Lure 13.5 or Vibe sea ghost 130 ??? i am 240lb
I fish a lot big Salt water up off Vancouver Island. do you think the 13.5 Lure is worth it, or should I save up more money for a different Kayak?
so the10/11.5 are same at the leg room？ thx
I got a lure 11.5 two years ago. Mine does not have the same setup to accommodate the sonar or the overdrive.. for the custom bag, the paddle, the dash and the boat was about $1,300. I guess I missed the boat on that one.. Bummer
lure 13 or dorado for salt water ?
Bought a 11.5 a few months ago and recently noticed water in the hull, (About 2 cups) . I was told that such a "small" amount was probably due to condensation. My question is, how much water is no longer considered small. New to the sport but any amount of water in the hull doesn't sound good.
just bought an 11.5 hope I like it the water here in NH is still froze, does the pod on the new 11.5 have hinges or does the cover just fall off, thanks for the vid
the colburn farm Nice man enjoy the new yak. Spring will be here soon enough.
Can you put outriggers on the tandem
What is the name of the green white black and grey kayak right behind you at the start of this video?
Mitch Taylor the 3 Waters Bigfish 120. They are a new boat. High low seat and goes for $999
I’m 300lbs, I want to put myself, a yeti loadout bucket , yeti go box, and yeti tundra 50 cooler, and a few rods on a kayak. Can That 13.5 handle that load?
I like the Feelfree. However, there is one thing missing which a lot of other anglers kayaks have and that is - a live well, for storing the fish you catch. Was this an oversight on the part of the designers?
$10 fish basket at Wal-Mart maybe. $1 stringer?
@@mandovapehater6988 I have a stringer but, a fishing kayak still needs a live well. That is like a pickup truck without a box on the back.
Id still have a use for that truck. I guess a stringer full of fish or a basket would cause a lot of drag. I should hush. I know nothing on the subject. Watching this stuff because I'm thinkin about buying a fishing kayak for mostly lake use and have no clue whats good or bad. Might spend $1000 or a little more.
Should I get the 11.5 or a coosa hd? I really like the seat on both but just a little more on the 11.5, but I haven't paddled one yet.
larrydavidhunt what did you go with?
How much is the price for feel free 10ft kayak
I had my 11.5 stored in my garage on it's side all winter. Till last week I was installing my rudder...i decide to put the seat in as well. An realized my seat would not fit any more.its bumping against the sides. Were the tackle cut outs are, with the chair tubing the part that curbs...very strange I won't be storing it on it's side no more
Kayaklure85 sounds like you have a older model. Put a piece of 2x4 in there for a day and leave it in the sun. It will pop right out. They addressed this In 2016 and newer models.
Headwaters Kayak. Thanks for the great advice. I will try that but exactly were do I put the 2x4.
Right where the bolt of the seat hits.
Headwaters Kayak u been a great! help thanks!
Hey bro I'm a big fan of your channel and I'm interested in getting the feel free 13 5 the only thing I see missing from your videos bro is the weight capacity it'd be nice to know the weight capacity of on your boats
Good call. You can always jump over to the website. But I will include that in future videos.
Good videos mate, but a mic would make them even better.
Hi.do you have for sale kayak feelfree lure 13.5 v1. because I want to buy bardxo and I can't find it anywhere
i know im late but do you think the overdrive can fit in the 3 waters big fish 105 and 120
Good question no it does not. The Big fish 105 and 120 will not have any pedal drive upgrades available.
Ok I just started a new chapter in my life I'm moving into an RV and I will be traveling around fishing in saltwater and fresh, hiking and everything I can do until I get too old to do it. how hard would it be to get that 13.5 on top of my Truck
I think if you remove the peddle drive it comes out to like 80 pounds. With the peddle it's 95lb. That should give you a idea
Wish the seat could slide in the lowest position. I'd mount oars on the accessory rails and really zip. That would be a lot lighter and more intuitive than the pedals and you wouldn't have to give up your fish finder
How do the the 13.5 lure compare to a vibe 130 besides the price difference?
soundofheadhunterz lots of differences. Totally different platforms. Lure is wider way more stable open deck layout. Way more adjustment on seat. Sonor pod with Overdrive upgrade. Bigger boat for bigger guys
Where is this
Hey Dan, I'm 6'1", about 295 lbs. If you had to pick a boat for me for bass fishing in ponds and small lakes, would you recommend the lure 13.5, 11.5, or big fish 120. Cost is a factor in this case. Hope to hear!
Thanks!
What did you end up getting I'm in a similar situation?
@@reginaldwwalkerii I went big Fish 120 and don't regret it one bit! Also, I'd look at the bonafide's as well, they are pretty sweet
I'm 5'8 what length paddle wod you recommend for the lure 11.5? Also what paddle wod you chose for $300 or less?
I really like the looks of the shuna hooked.
I meant to say, what paddle length would you recommend for me?
I'd get a 250 Shuna Hooked.
Thanks! I appreciate the help! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!
Hi I'm 6,4" weight about 300 and im watching for a paddle Kayak for in and offshore fishing. Did you recommend the feelfree lure 13.5?
If go for a Bending Branches with adjustable shaft. The more you are willing to spend the better. They go from 240-260 or something like that.
Performance and quality wise which would you recomend between the FF tandem and the Vibe YF? Thank you
Daddy's Leather very different crafts. If I wanted to pedal, haul big loads, stand and fish I’d go Lure. If I wanted to paddle fast, go offshore, have something I could cartop easy id go Vibe. The Feelfree is better quality no doubt about it.
Headwaters Kayak thank you so much for the quick response. I want to get a tandem mainly for me and my son. Have a bad knee so paddle only, was thinking of a trolling motor on it. Lure is longer, wider and I like those seats. The Vibe is lighter, less money and lifetime warranty. Having a tough time choosing.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but do you know when the Dorado is coming out? It still doesn't show it on the website.
Drew Fisher yet it starts shipping end of April is the latest update I’ve got
Headwaters Kayak thanks so much feller.
What feels faster in the water the moken 10 V2 or Lure V2? There seems to be a few inches in width difference and I feel that could have a dramatic effect on efficiency to paddle the Lure vs the Moken? Please get back to me on this, I'm going to buy one and want to know before I pull the trigger on purchasing.
Bryan D Moken is faster for sure.
@@HeadwatersKayak Thanks for the quick word on moken vs lure. love to see a on-water review of 10 foot boats to see how they paddle, track, and maneuver. Moken 10 v2 vs competition. Need to outfit a family of 4 for recreational floating and fishing on small rivers. Moken 10 v2 looks like a good choice.
are those seats really as good as they claim to be???? getting a 13.5 this week
Nick schmitz yes. Best adjustment mechanism out there.
Do you have Feelfree in stock and can you ship. I live near new orleans
No I don’t ship
Any difference between 2017 and 2018 lure 11.5?
Nacho no changes.
How does the stablilty of the feelfree 11.5 compare to the 3waters big fish 120?
Steven Gonzales great question. That will be a topic of our future video. We’ll throw in a few other boats as well. But simple answer is they are both similar. Ultra stable.
Headwaters Kayak thanks man appreciate your response my big fish 120 should be here next week looking forward to the video!
Did you ever do this video? I'm trying to decide between the Big Fish 120, Lure 11.5, and SS127. All have their pros and cons (pedal drive, rudder plumbing, wheel in the keel, etc.), but I am curious about the stability specifically of these three. Is one any better than the others?
Can you add a trolling motor to the center
Yes people have done it.
can you mount an electric motor on the back or even a 2hp gas?
no
Oh yes you can. I have an electric on the back of my 13.5. Works great for hands free fishing.
Can you load the lure 13.5 on a roof?
Yes, its heavy, but doable depending on your setup.
Headwaters Kayak I have a jeep patriot
Hey can you adjust the seat while sitting on it?
You have get your weight off the seat.
@@HeadwatersKayak okey dowk. Thanks. 🙏
The gear tracks. Are they plastic or metal?
tomasm87 metal.
Will it take the gear head track mounts?
What ever happened to that open water kayak design they showed a while back? the "Dogan" or something...
Quiero el kayak verde con negro no dice los precios
I wish the 10 had pedal drive
The price is what pushes me away from the 13.5 to the big fish 120
I want one! Now, all I need is $$$......
We can't hear you
Just picked up a brand new Lure 11.5 for $750.
No way! Cool Where?
@@MrBaloo5 Gander Outdoors. Clearence + rewards member + awesome cashier who threw me an extra 5% off got the price way down.
I I'm a 300 pound guy. I'm I to heavy to wish out of the 13.5 fresh water and inshore
This kayak looks like a good choice for tandem seating
Am from India I need 11.5
Lures*
Just over 100$ a foot ..
PLEASE ... ALWAYS GIVE THE WEIGHT CAPACITY FOR EACH SO WE CAN MAKE BETTER DECISION
THE SEAT IS ONLY MEANT FOR ALL THE WAY UP, OR ALL THE WAY DOWN.
YOU WILL BREAK IT ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN!
They use cheap parts all over these kayaks & are over priced. And Yes, I own one.
Weight? No
Widths ? No
"If you are a BIG guy" immediately targets 50% of american fishermen. Nice marketing.
Hey you hatn on big guy love bro?
@@brittanybradford9239 oh no, imma big guy myself
that seat is very ugly. i hope its at least comfortable
Wow, not once did he mention how this would be for a female at all. I have been a river guide 17 years of my life and boy you guys better address women in your videos too. How sad. Probably an oversite???? I really want one of these. This sort of discouraged me...
Leanora Premeau thanks for pointing this out. We’ll be more mindful in future videos. Happy Paddlin.
Thanks so much! I am in Colorado and we have big lakes to paddle and fish!
I must've missed the part where he addressed male-specific features of these fishing kayaks.
I also wonder if there were more fishing kayak reviews from a female perspective then would more single ladies be apt to buy a $1300 plastic boat and go out on the rivers and lakes to catch bass? Because it would be real nice if I had a hobby that I enjoyed and I could actually meet girls while doing it
Thats all you took from this video, wow
