Great options man! Love the affordable spin because these things can get EXPENSIVE. Of all the ones on the list, I’m really digging the Ascend 133x. The open cockpit and pre wiring makes it really attractive for the price.
Great job 👏🏽

[johnbehrens]

Thanks for the good advice! The bigfish 108 is my new favorite kayak. Super stable and the pedal drive is great. I have the 2024 with a 360 swivel seat. Hooked up with a 70 pound tarpon and had no problems with catch and release.

[PunkRock.]

We have a different idea of budget friendly 😂

[DetroitFishigan]

I had the 3 waters big fish 108 as my 1st own kayak. I had to sale it, and get a old town 106 pdl, because the big fish was to heavy to Jeep top for me... Man but that big fish108 is a beast of a kayak 💯. Awesome job on the video, and opinions you put together brother 🤝🏼.

[SMACKK]

appreciate this. Always thought I would have to get a boat, but this helped a lot

[newenglandangler]

Nice vid! That Ascend is a battleship.

[backporchbbq]

i learned today that the word affordable means very different things to different people lol.... im 280, looking for a bigger guy kayak that is under 500, 1500-1800 isnt affordable to me for my first one, but loved the video for future reference

[homebound-go]

Where can you go to look at the last kayak. I want to see it before I buy it? Thanks

[stevesafety]

Another one for list Seastream Angler 120 PD 12’ 3” long 35” wide 400 lbs $1299. Same parent company as the Big Fish. To heavy for my tastes but a lot of good reviews on YouTube. Different subject any thoughts on fin drive vs prop drive?

[TrailerStarBeats]

My affordable is like 500 to 1000. Definitely Not 1500 but nice video and thank you for sharing. 🤘🏼🇺🇸

[chriskalley]

Coming from my first kayak from Menards for 90 bucks i was pretty shocked to see how much something nicer is 😢 maybe I'll just stick with my floating chunk of plastic

[highroadinc]

Apparently my idea and your idea of affordable is WAY different! I can buy a water ready bass voat for $2000

[TedacheTV]

How do you feel about the big fish 103

[TheE-LightenedArtist]

I wanna party with that dude in yer thumbnail LOL!

[JustinJames-wr]

It's probably already been asked.... but what if I'm tall and not very heavy? I'm 6'6" and about 225

[crazyfloridaguy]

A lot of people are not a fan of Ascend unfortunately

[gamerdan]

Are there any good kayaks under $600? Ya know, for that "first timer" that wants to try it out?

[Thiskidsgoated]

Hey it’s Zeke… dude am I really that big 😂

[The_Catfish_Bullys]

Im a broke bum but i could save 1500 for a kayak

[pagepippin]

Dude said most affordable and it’s almost 2000
