The best approach for this stuff is to talk about the merit of the product that’s being promoted instead of always comparing it to “something else”, it’s like the companies that compare their coolers to Yeti, they are by default making Yeti the standard and therefor the best cooked because they are using them as the standard for measure (even though their intent is the opposite). By comparing this kayak only to Hobie it’s vastly overlooking a lot of the benefits of what this kayak brings to the game overall. I understand that on UA-cam things like this generate more discussion and views, but this comparison leaves a lot to be discussed by simply pigeon holing it to a Hobie comparison.
I love any innovation in the kayak fishing industry and what it means for us as anglers and consumers. It’s something that forces a new category definition or discussion and it also has huge implications for the overall industry and that’s something that’s very exciting and encouraging for the space. In a time when some people think that kayak fishing has plateaued or slowed down, these types of developments further illustrate that the industry is growing and the category is in great shape.
Thank you for the video. I have the 106 with the throttle coming in November. Hoped to have it sooner but I can't wait to use it next year. This made me want it even more.
Ive been using a 30 pound trolling motor with a PWM speed controller on my Nucanoe Pursuit all last season with a 12v 35ah wheelchair battery. With normal use with a little bit of throttle from spot to spot I get a full 8 hours of fishing. The speed controller really helps battery life, trolling motors with the stock hand switch are very in-efficient as they draw max power from the battery even when at low speed. Im glad these kayaks are coming out so now more kayak tournaments will allow motors and people will stop asking me .....why?. Dont forget these things will need to get registered, great vid.
Thanks for the video 👍 my buddy is in the process of Patterning a solar sail for Kayaks. So far it works perfect….
That spot lock is awesome!
Exercise is a very important part of kayaking. Stay fit and paddle, peddle your kayak and get stronger for the Gideon. Thanks for Your videos, and work, You're a Good Brother. Stand Firm, Respect.
uhh, what is "the gideon"?
My first 'Yak was an Old Town (Good Quality). Before buying, I looked at Old Town, Hobie, and Native brands.
(Tried all three and liked them, but got the best "DEAL" by trading my 'Yak in on a Titan!).
Love your channel.... (Us Vets have to Stick Together!)
Seems cool. In the state I live in, that kayak would be consider a motorized vassal. So Dmv registration is required.
When I got spot lock on my boat I didn’t think it could get any better. Well Old Town done gone and blew my mind again. Can’t wait to get mine.
Are you getting an autopilot? Thought I heard you say you'd be getting a new kayak
Mikey Watt I am. Mine was ordered today should be here first week of April.
Alex Rudd Fishing spotlock with poles = game changer. They work way too good together
How does the battery hold up using the spot lock?
I Like how the sit is higher. Usually, I can't kayak for a long time cause my back but with a higher sit like this, I think I can manage longer in this kayak.
Great preview of the different kayaks 👍 too many choices for me lol
That’s dope man, god dang I want one.
Must be near 2K?
Definitely need one of them. I have a cheap kayak. It works but it would be much easier if I could stand up in it.
Awsome video enjoyed it good job
Got to love OLD TOWN
Yo Yakpak, I've priced out the Hobie 360 and it is $800.00 more than the Old Town AutoPilot 120. That's why Old Town is the Standard Bearer for Fishing Kayaks. That is also why come Spring of 2021 I'll be getting me an AutoPilot 120 Powered by Minn Kota
Stepped up to a das-king kratos. Awesome yak , nothing better than fishing for whatever bites , can not wait until the weather warms up. Whatever kayak you choose make sure to use a pfd , and don't over do it with the add-on after market toys, keep it simple and have fun!!👍 👍 🇨🇦
Damn Old Town is changing the game! Glad theyre in the business.
If you had to pick would you buy the Autopilot minnkota or the throttle control minnkota? I’m buying one this weekend and would really appreciate your help. Any good add on seats ect?
Cool video...I’d have to say you should upgrade the hooks on your CB though. U might have brought home the big W if so!!
Looks awesome
Those are straight 🔥✌🤘👊
I just got a saranac 160 canoe. I'm enjoying every minute !
Good Review Yak
Totally unbiased review. Old Town hat and all 😂
I've had 4 big boats and this kayak is way more fun to be on!
Finally found the video I was looking for
Hello, the first boat with trolling motor is something I am very interested in. The lake I enjoy kayak fishing has a lot of trees in the water. I don’t always see the trees and have gotten stuck before. What happens to motor if it hits a submerged tree?
Do you think the old Town 136 autopilot is good for saltwater or hobie for saltwater I live in Miami Florida
Only thing I wonder about is fishing in pads and surface grass... I sure would to have one though. What a sweet combo, old town and minkota! 🎣👍😎🎣🥳😸
I bought the 106 mk & put the panoptix livescope on it because I had a extra transducer , I love it but I keep getting thrown out of ponds lol. Always someone telling you that you can’t do something lol. Fishing is apparently a crime 😂
Ahhh man I'm still at work . I know it's fire though 🤙
YakPak I would love to have the kayak with spot lock. That would be the one I would use on the daily. It would be the perfect bass boat for what I want fishing here in West Central Florida.
What size seal are you using, 3/16" or 1/4"?
Its time to work overtime 🤣🤣
I could sound crazy but the second one sound like a good kayak to buy wether you’re buying your first kayak or a new one, my experience never buy something cheap especially if you’re trying to fish, my opinion spend 650+ on a nice yak if you’re going to fish or camp because you want something nice and stable!
No horizontal rod storage? What happens when prop or motor slams into shallow log or rock?
Where I live I would have to register these motorized yaks as a boat I can do with out the electric motors
Is it possible to install a solar panel close to where the battery is located in order to keep a constant charge on the battery and never run out of power?
Oregon treats and charges a boat with a motor differently than a kayak. I could put a motor on my Pro 14, but then I would have to deal with the State. And they already suck enough money out of me. Pedal drive is nice and reverse is less complicated than Hobie (and I don't have reverse on my Pro 14) but my boat is every bit as stable and more room and storage. Nice quick clean reviews; and good solid kayaks, "to each his own" said the old lady, as she kissed the cow." Well done review.
I feel like the auto-pilot trolling on a kayak is like using a jet-pack for mountain climbing. It sort of takes some of the sport out of kayak fishing. It's a cool advancement in kayak tech, just not my personal cup of tea.
Dude first time watching and I'm happy to see someone else likes the discovery kayak/canoe combo i almost bought it but I found a VanHunks pedal kayak in Sarasota but now that I saw the autopilot kayak I want one soon I'll have to sell mine first but for my physical abilities that kayak would be better. Cool channel so far too
Michael Rodriguez thanks Michael 👊🏼😁
Michael Rodriguez the discovery is an awesome hybrid canoe. Lots of cool adventures could definitely be had out of that bad boy
My first time watching too
Dude oh my god imagine the sneak holes 🤯
I live in the Philippine Islands. I'm looking for a tandem saltwater Kayak for fishing. Does Old Town have a supplier in Asia? A kayak that supports a MinnKota with stop lock.
Great kayak reviews! Anyone that’s not hungry for one of these boats is crazy. Question, does that remote float? And does one come with the smaller trolling motor kayak?
The location of the trolling motor is not ideal on AP. It takes a lot of space in the cockpit. It's already cramped and heavy. Pro angler with bixpy is better choice. Bixpy rests flush on the mirage drive and does not take any cockpit space. Hobie who? Lol.
Does it come with the battery?
Very informative! Subbing
Banger brother can't wait for the next one....dud someone win the hat already ? I need one autographed
Cool video. What’s the length of your rod, is that 5 foot?
Still embarrassed to say my kayak had to be inflated. Still works though. If I had the cash I would by that 106 on a heartbeat. Fish on👍👌😊
Don't feel that way, I had an inflatable Sea Eagle lean mean fishing machine for around ten years until i mistreated it and didn't put it up for the winter. I think the seams started to leak I am in a Bonafide RS 117 Kayak now. Still would like to have a small boat to put my trolling motor on.
Can you review the 133x ascend with a trolling motor please?
awesome video , so i see that you went with the 106 for the tournament ,, was that your choice or was the autopilot already spoken for ? the reason im asking is im seriously looking at these and looking for help with my decision ,, is the auto really worth the extra grand or can I do just as good with the 106 ,, help a brother out ,, cool video bro
“...well don’t cast like that.” Lol
😆😆🤣
Quote of the video no doubt lol!
💀💀💀💀💀💀
I’ve heard about this one but the two I have is I have the native slayer 12 propel max and then I also have a hobie pro angler 14 both of them I have fully loaded with the torqueedo motors I love my hobie more for big water rougher water cause it’s very wide now my slayer is great for anywhere but the standing can b done just not as steady as the hobie is but hey great video
Titans, I've found, are a LOT steadier when standing, than any of them (and they turn tighter, too!)
Somewhat agree but my hobie pro angler 14ft is wide as hell and is wider than the slayer or the Titan but the Titan and slayer are still wide but they are very sturdy I agree that’s why I have both 😂
And yes my slayer omg yea that thing turns very very well
I want one!!!!
Bad ass bro. You look so natural on a kayak 👀
I love kayaking and I hope to make kayak videos on my channel
Could you recommend something for a newbie looking to spend 1000-1200 yak paddle and pfd? I'll be moving to Tampa Florida area. Seems to have all type of water. So ideally something somewhat universal. Thanks
feel free lure
The one that turns with pedals I'd want spot lock with a remote also
Wow just checked out their website. Those prices aren't bad at all.
Those are nice ones I need to up my game
They changed the game!
Think this kayak is suppose to be for the ones focusing on the hobie 360 not the other ones. 360 is over 4000 dollars where this one is under that price point and also gives you hands free spot lock. Which for bass fisherman is like a must have in a lot of cases.
Does the motor made for salt water
What is spot lock?
What if your kayak were to flip will it still function?
Guess it depends on how the battery is held and stored in the kayak. Flipping your kayak back over is your first problem.
That autopilot is my dream yak 🙌🏼 seriously looking at getting one. After seeing the second one you tested I may need to wait and get that one instead....heck, I’ll just get both eventually 😂
I wouldnt purchase them both unless you need two kayaks for the wife, kid or friend. You will enjoy the peddle kayak and it will only make you want to upgrade right away! So I recommend that you wait and just get the big purchase when you ready.
Love your videos brother keep up the work
Awesome video, glad you are part of the Old Town family!
You think the I pilot would work here in Hawaii with larger swells?
Gonna murk the battery in no time and be left paddling that 5k worth of kayak lol
the 106 is like a newer version of my ocean kayak torque and i’m going 4 mph in it
For small shallow rivers with grass patches it would be useless. But it is nice for your type of fishing.
I need that auto pilot in my life

Do you have to have a registration
Yo love your channel! Wondering how you compare these to the Bonafide SS127?
The 127 is great, just doesn’t have a motor. After using these basically this whole year, I couldn’t see myself using anything else. These trolling motors truly are game changing.
@@FishingWithYakPak damn thanks for replying bro. So considering I’m not interested in a motor, the Bonafide is as stable and efficient as these? And do you have any experience with the wilderness systems recon or Atak?
Yeah if i had the money those would be amazing, but it's hard to find a spare 3-4k for anything, let alone a kayak.
It’s weird how it’s a mindset, read Rich dad, poor dad. I’m finding it hard to have a spare 30-40k for a small bass boat.
thats mad funny now give it to me
Yea but it's like 5-6k for everything. Just get a boat that price range and you can at least bring a friend or two.
I haven’t looked at the price of it, but if it’s really $5-6k, I agree, it’s absolutely not worth it.
Yeah absolutely insanely expensive. Guess I'll keep on paddling
yeah its definitely not worth it if your just looking to start inshore fishing you could get a 2 bass boats for that price its mostly a luxury for not having to deal with the hassles of a boat (storing it, boat having problems, getting it in the water ,etc)
The hefty price tag is the trolling motor. I have the ulterra trolling motor on my boat and for an 80 lbs thrust motor it cost around $2500 but that motor links to GPS and it links to compatible fish finders that really takes fishing to that next level. Most of the guys that buy this wont buy it as a substitute for a bass boat but yet an addition to the fishing arsenal.
I agree with you, but it makes sense for someone that is younger, doesn't have a house and live in apartments, or even not necessary younger. It really does make sense for someone who has limited space to store things or park.
Wish the seats had armrests like the hobie pa
I wonder why headwater kayaks don't promote these yaks. I have the 106 10' and love it.
Bro I think that my 128t holds the title for the most awesome kayak ever
That autopilot would probably be the only kayak that could get me out of my FeelFree lure 13.5 with a rear mounted trolling motor
No I love my 13.5, for me when I stand in it stability is fine but I’m also short at only 5’5” lol and the rear trolling motor is great, scoots along nicely
Isn't that the area that one dude caught that giant grouper?
I never knew you duck hunted do you do any hunting now if you do you should do a video on it
Way back before UA-cam. That was back when I was stationed in Texas lol. Used to have so much fun duck hunting.
Neat, sadly I can’t use it. :(
nice
Finally got me a yak got.me a feelfree lure 11.5 v2 overdrive
i decided against the over drive for my lure. installed a bixpy jet on the rudder. ive tried the overdrive. not a fan of giving up my foot steering. sonar pod. pulling it up and down in the mud flats. no thanks. the bixpy i just pull the rope and the rudder comes up with the motor.
I have the PDL!! Love it! Made an hour North of me here in Maine
I am still trying to figure out how these kayak companies are justifying the cost of the kayaks.
wait so the old town with the autopilot is still cheaper than a hobie? GODDAMN
Chad said it. Don't compare it to Hobie alone. Try comparing it to all other major brands. Especially one that has been using motors for years. Old Town isn't the first ttop pot a motor on a yak. OT did take it to a different level but for my opinion and my opinion only, it's proprietary. To bad you can't choose to paddle, pedal, or power the same yak. Im not buying 3 different yaks because I changed my mind on propulsion this weekend. As we say in the sport of kayak fishing, DEMO anything that interests you.
Wesley Nowlen after reading what Chad wrote it really made a lot of sense to me. I never thought of it the way he broke it down. Both of you have great points and from now on I will be more cognizant about how I do videos like these. Thanks for watching!
Only if the spotlock had foot peddle steering it would be a winnner for me!
Man that would be SWEET!!
WHAT R THOOOOSE??????😂😂😂
jonny bass 100 kayak looks the same but you can put a gas motor on jonny bass100 kayak so id go with the jonny bass 100 kayak
Dude. Your choice in footwear has me questioning my subscriber status. :)
Zuuni Antonidas 🤣🤣
Must not be from the south 😂 crocs are a southern thing
Crocs are the shit, comfortable, easy to clean, last forever, easy to pack, great for water use.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣brrrruhhhhh
Pshhh your foot wear is on point mann, damn that comment. I stop watching so many videos in the first few seconds because of gross, nasty ass feet showing. No one wants to look at fat hairy toes while watching a kayak and fishing video, It’s utterly disgusting. I love all videos where the narrator covers their feet. Be it shoes, crocks or whatever. Far as I’m concerned no one should be making these videos with their gross feet showing.
I want one
Wish me luck for the M3 baitcaster!!! Lol
Not sure how I would feel launching these through surf.
Get one of those big ass Mexican hats and throw a solar panel on top and connected to your battery
I was considering this yak until I saw the amount of water that gets in, relying on a battery that you cants even go 4mph without draining it the first 30 min, no battery and just more maintenance than a regular pedal yak, but to each their own!
Battery drains in 30min? If yes, that’s horrible.
