Kayak Fishing ON A BUDGET! What To Look For In A GOOD Budget Kayak!

In today's economy you have to sell an appendage to get a decent kayak...then another one for the accessories. Well, we tested out two kayaks under $1,000 (NEW, not Used) to help showcase what a budget friendly kayak brings to the table. Of course you can always hit up the used market but we're focusing on new kayaks in this video.

What did you think of these options and what budget kayak is your favorite??

I like that you guys give unbiased opinions. I have a Brooklyn Kayak Company kayak . I got a smaller model. 9'6", 1 piece mold, 50lbs, comfortable seat, 2 rod holders, 2 storage compartments, 2 accessory rails and comes with a paddle. I can float in 5" of water and can do a 180 in the narrow creeks.
At 5'6" and 125lbs, it's perfect for me. They do have options for normal size people too.😁

Great insight into these models. As a canadian dealer for Crescent we have been very impressed with the overall value of the Primo. Nothing you don't need but also easily expandable for features like deck pads and tracks. Definately a paddlers kayak design and the more you spend time in the boat you will value the hull speed and the secondary stability. We have our project Primo series on upgraded to this boat including the NK180pro motor install!

Number 1 and number 2, your parents must be proud of the great work that you do from their basement!!!

AAA.. thanks for the info on these kayaks!

I stand and fish in my pelican catch mode all the time, and never had any issues, especially with the seat folded

I keep my Primo in the high position. You get used to it. I almost fell out when I hit a rock sideways though. I suggest low in fast water. It's become my favorite kayak. Throw and go is the way.

[austinhall]

The playful dynamics of Crescents are always pointed out from the same angle. Almost like it’s a critique or handicap when it’s the designed purpose. Probably bc most reviewing are primarily fishermen. Totally understandable. And you guys are really complimentary, so I’m coming at you with this lol.



I would be so bored sitting on a barge, so I require playful primary and strong secondary. Crescent is the standard there, I own 4 of them (LT2, CK1, Crew, CK2) and naturally biased lol.

The Primo has a higher ceiling than the Ultralight and still a strong value against the CK1. Once you replace the bungee with track, add padding, accessories and it’s a lighter CK1 for $200 less while being a little sportier to paddle and more stable than the ultralight. I agree, high seat is a no go on the primo lol. I’m 6’5” and tried it

Crescents really shine in variety of water we have in coastal Florida.

My sun dolphin Marquette series is great for the 300-400 price point

Got the Mode 110 with a nk180 pro. Pretty good beginning set up for as much as I'm able to fish currently. It's very versatile to transport.

One kayak I think you have missed which is the best budget pedal kayak for under $1200 is the Magellan 10.6 PDL. Technically it’s a Riot Kayak but better. I have owned an Old Town PDZl 120 PDL and Big Fish PDL 103 and while the pedal drive system is smoother with the old town the Magellan is over $1000 cheaper. as far as the big fish 103 in my opinion, the Magellan has a better pedal drive and is more comfortable and functional. I would recommend that you test one if you get the chance. Also, you can catch them on sale for under $1000.

You guys should experiment with brooklyn kayak co. They have some cheap options that come motorized or pedal

[motoformprototyping]

I would like to see a review of the ultralite and other yaks in that segment

[MrSeanWesty]

I remember talking to you guys about the Crescent kayaks and the stability is sketch on all of there models. I ended up getting the Native Slaver Propel Max 12.5….same as old Debo

[jessebainter]

Lifetime Tioga. After all the upgrades (minus the seat swap), I'm still under $400. That's what comes to mind when I think of "Budget Kayak".

[austinhall]

Ive taken the catch mode down class 2 rapids loaded to the tits with gear and never once got worried id go in 😂 the thing is a very affordable tank

[louigirlpower]

Have you guys even reviewed any kayaks from Vanhunks? It seems they are one the cheaper end as well.

[MitchGift]

I dare you to do a flip drill. Explain how a dangerous situation can turn into a nightmare. Which Kayak can you make upright again and how much gear will you lose or destroy. Techniques to try to right yourself and will you be able to get in again with all your accesories mounted to the sides.
