Seems like a pretty solid set up to me. I find a tonne of value in your videos, especially ones reviewing multiple kayaks. At the end of the day, I don’t have the luxury to test a bunch before making an educated decisions. Your videos are a one stop shop for everything pros and cons, which I really appreciate. 👍
1. Purple boat with that spot lock looks awesome. 2. Catching a ton of fish like that on a spinner looked damn fun. 3. Have the same issue wirh my hobie RX glasses, get a glare around the side. They need side blocker add ons.
Jeff , if you put a spiltring over the r bend on your spinnerbait , it will eliminate your arm getting bent so you don't have to constantly adjust after each bite, plus it will last so much longer .
Lately I've been looking at tiny boats for fishing rivers/creeks in Florida. I like the 10 &12' Prowlers from BassPro. Gotta be something I can load on my utility trailer easily by myself. I like the NuCanoe swivel seat and gear storage. Videos like this help alot in decision making.
Kayaks are more my style vs the prowler. But to each their own, it's a preference. I think if you want to add up to a 9 HP motor, go prowler. If you are okay with lower thrust motors, go NuCanoe. Not to mention the NuCanoe can still do 7 MPH lol.
Hey Jeff thanks for sharing your day on the lake what a beautiful day on the water. What an enjoyable time catching fish you were catching them on my favorite kayak and color your rig setup was sick. You have such power and control out there so smooth floating on the water your results were amazing. The fish were biting and great use of the different lures and techniques to build confidence. Thank you again so much brother tight lines take care and God bless.
I have the same setup, and weight balance is crucial. I probably have more weight in the boat than you do, and I run without the scupper plugs. My 100ah battery is as far back as possible, and I cut 2 pieces of angle iron that my blackpack sits on to get that as far back as possible. Was able to slide the seat back an extra 6 inches or so by doing that too. I've got a 10 inch garmin on the gear pod with a 50ah battery and livescope black box in the gear pod, so I probably have a little more weight in the nose than you do. Very minimal to no water in channels(depending on whether I'm moving/standing), and I weigh around 240 right now. 16x16 is loaded full of tackle, no shortstack, but I do have 2 tupperwares under my seat full of soft plastics. Fun boat to rig out, would definitely recommend a rudder!
Love my unlimited as well. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the weight thing especially with the scupper plugs in. I have a second seat for my son, loaded up were around 500-520 and I’ve never been concerned with the stability aspect. That spinnerbait is money as well, love them!
What do I think of it? I think it’s awesome as I have the same one. I’m moving my battery to my black pack so it sits more midship. Other than that, zero complaints or issues. Edit: foot steering is the bomb.
You can get safety side shields for your glasses, if you don't mind being called a nerd! Love the purple reel with the purple yak! Girl dad it up brother! From a girl dad to another!
I have my unlimited loaded down with the xi3, 100 amp hour amped outdoors battery, 30 amp hour amped battery, garmin 93sv, 8-10 rods, more tackle than a person could ever use and I weigh 230 and have had no issues. I’ve been caught out in 3’ waves and crazy wind gust and felt more confident in my unlimited than I ever did in my Titan in the same conditions. I wouldn’t worry about capacity or sinking the thing.
Great video and great fishing I like y'all gear reviews and no I would not buy everything yall show but I see as helpful on gear that I am thinking about getting
Again, I know I’m a complete pain in the ass so you don’t have to tell me that I know anyway I forgot to mention I live in Olathe Kansas and there’s nobody that does demos so I’m really worried about shooting myself in the foot and getting into a boat that I can’t work because of my physical situation and I’m using text to speech dis in case you were wondering why I spelled out explanation point !!😂 Thanks 🙏
Yeah, I’ve seen him. I’ve seen all the ones I even went back to your page. Make sure I didn’t miss one, but you guys seem to be like the only one that has the boat already and I’m like I said I’m trying to decide between the iatak and the island I just read it. You just sent me the text. What was it? The island fly man something wrong with me anyway thanks a lot. Keep up the good work but I’m just saying I’d appreciate another one. It really gotten down and dirty because I’m gonna need something stable. I’ve got a bad back, six surgeries I Purchased Bixby motor the pro battery with the K-1 motor yeah it’s really stupid to buy a motor before I put the boat but anyway I need some light to move it down to those two kayak killers as they put them I guess is Alex his name them Alex he’s a nice guy. He just aggravates me I know. I’m a jackass. I know so there’s that. Thanks so much again you guys are great explanation
The isle flywater. It will be out later this month I believe, that is why not too many people have them. islesurfandsup.com/products/flywater-micro-skiff-kayak?variant=41683236847751&srsltid=AfmBOooqQVbML98xJqlVFLJPiIdBtAYw9OJz6en6K_5OtlEHhR_R5wh55Eo
Math in my head. Listed performance weight I later found was 450, MAX OUT 650. I added my weight, tackle, battery, xi3 motor, anchor and other junk to the boat weight.
So first the color of that boat is the coolest second, you were talking about weight limits and scuff or holes and plugs and a JetSki and you’re talking about steps to take case of……. So the first step is to deal with the JetSki because in that scenario, you were almost killed those things are so damn dangerous when those idiots get on them got a flame in right now first step is dealing with the JetSki depending on the situation pain might be part of that situation, just saying dude it’s some dangerous crap people play out there and they don’t realize it’s dangerous. They think they’re just having a good time spraying people but it’s not cool anyway love your video. Awesome production. I want to see the blowup one.😢 I forget what it’s called the fly something because I’m leaning towards the attack until I saw is it tile fly or something like that? I can’t remember the name of it anyway do more videos more&more Thanks 🙏
Why is it when you guys hook a bass you think you gotta get it in within seconds. Your just fishing and you don't need 40lb test to yank a 2lb fish in. SMH
We don’t have to get it in in seconds, it’s just hard not to with a high speed baitcaster. Spinning setups we take more time with. Plus if theyre a smaller fish, we just want them released quick. We aren’t using 40lb test. We run 10-12 lb fluorocarbon leaders for most things and 4-8 lb for ultralight tackle.
What do you think of the unlimited?
I absolutely love mine!

It's pretty sweet and fast with the Xi3. Lots of decisions to make when it's time to replace the SS127. Thanks for showing us the options.
It was cool seeing you and Fish Anything on the river the other day, hope we didn't scare away too many fish in our multiple encounters!
LOL, great bumping into you guys too! Hope you had a good trip!

Awesome day on the water!
I came for the new tatula it’s a very smooth real. Glad you enjoyed it Jeff. Tight lines brotha keep the videos coming.
🤙🙌
Looks like a great set up as well as a great day fishing.
Thanks!
Dude! That’s the rig I totally want! Been waiting a long time to get an Unlimited with spot lock. Awesome brother. Congratulations
🙌
Looked like a great fishing outing. I ordered a unlimited also, just need to get it and rig it out
Nice!
Have you guys tried the zman jerk shadz on the chinlockz hook like 1/8 or 1/12 oz it’s been slaying for me the past year
Yup! It’s a killer rig!
What do I think of it? I think it’s awesome as I have the same one.
I’m moving my battery to my black pack so it sits more midship. Other than that, zero complaints or issues.
Edit: foot steering is the bomb.
Heck yeah!
Love my NuCanoe Unlimited , purple also its named the Grape Escape
Heck yeah!
You can get safety side shields for your glasses, if you don't mind being called a nerd! Love the purple reel with the purple yak! Girl dad it up brother! From a girl dad to another!
Nerd is a badge of honor! Thanks!
On fire Catching today, dope AF😎🤙
🙌
Call you "Jefe The Hammer" nice work 👏
🤣🤙 Thanks!
How do you compare the stability of the PA14 vs the unlimited? I am seriously thinking about switching next season.
Close enough. If the Native Titan X and Hobie PA14 are a 10 / 10, then the unlimited is a 9.2. It's more than stable enough
@@aaanglers and about 4k dollars less 🤣
Also that 😂
Any thoughts of putting the pedal system on this yak? I am interested in getting the U10 with a pedal system.
No but it's nice they have that option
Not looking at adding the pedals right now. Just motors and paddling
I love my unlimited with foot steering and NK180. It moves up the river just fine, lol.
I have my unlimited loaded down with the xi3, 100 amp hour amped outdoors battery, 30 amp hour amped battery, garmin 93sv, 8-10 rods, more tackle than a person could ever use and I weigh 230 and have had no issues.

Yeah, totally agree, I am confident in it!
Great video and great fishing I like y'all gear reviews and no I would not buy everything yall show but I see as helpful on gear that I am thinking about getting
🙌
nucanoes are awesome
Love the color of it. I find it very interesting from last years vid .
Thanks! Which video?
@aaanglers where you 2 did 5 yaks and I know there was pdl yaks If I remember right the unlimited was the 3rd or 4th favorite
@@raysgonefishing3271yeah, at that time it was hard to see how to rig it. But now that we have seen them rigged, it changed our whole opinion!
@aaanglers so glad yall seen the light lol. That's the only yak I want mostly do to weight .
More fishing videos please
Coming up!
The unlimited is the best!
Heck yeah!

Hell yeah
Where did you come up
With 500 lbs!?!
Math in my head. Listed performance weight I later found was 450, MAX OUT 650. I added my weight, tackle, battery, xi3 motor, anchor and other junk to the boat weight.
Gonna be my nest one, I think. Water Dog Outfitters and Mr. Crooks will be the place to buy it at.
Awesome!
The rudder is a must
Will do!

We have done several videos using the flywater with 1 and 2 people on it. Check it out, just a few videos back on our channel.
How does it compare to the jackhammer ?
It’s a negligible difference. I like em both
Such a sick color. Was this a limited exclusive color?
I think it is available everywhere. Might be a standard color for them now
@@aaanglers oh, the reason I ask is because I couldn't see that color available on their site
Lavender reel? What the heck. I need that in my life just to irritate everyone.
And it's BFS so you'll really get em fired up
@@paulglass7268 Oh. lol. Ok.
That reel is insane!
Diet time my Guy
You weight shaming? Well that’s not cool. 😂 Number on the scale doesn’t matter when you take care of yourself. Thanks for the concern…
@@aaanglers for the YAK, cut the weight down, don’t want it to sink or for something to happen to you. 🤣
Okay, then Ill trim the gear lol, not me, that would be silly 😂

What’s the size of your black pack and short stack ? I’m trying to rig up my Nucanoe Unlimited @aaanglers
The 13x16 is the best size for the unlimited
Thank You !!!
Also thank you for the great information and content
nucanoe always stated Max Weight Capacity*: 650 lbs
Self-Bailing Capacity**: 400 lbs get some self bailing plugs like paul does and win.
The self bailing haven’t been amazing in my opinion. I have used 3 kinds on my native titan x. Haven’t found a great brand yet
@@aaanglers uggh ,prob because they have the floor so low into the water huh?
@mikebillot5221 possibly, unfortunately nobody makes a great self bailing plug. Definitely a hole in the market
