Psssttt....the answer is...the one you will consistently WEAR!!!

Here are the four different models of kayak fishing PFDs made by NRS, Kokatat, and Old Town compared in this video. There are many more models out there that vary in function, comfort, price, and aesthetics.

Here are the models featured in this video in the order they appeared:

Remember they only save your life if you wear them.

Good to hear the perspective from someone who has actually used them quite extensively. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Biggest struggle for most of us is finding a place that carries these specific “purpose built” PFDs to try on before buying.

Great, Great Video . I still cannot understand why people still do not wear a PFD. You must wear one at All times while Kayaking Period . 👍👍

So I'm watching the video again trying to figure out what off to get and about the 6:22 mark I hear this braaat braaaawt . I'm grilling and looking at my chickens trying to figure out if there's a predator or something. It's your chickens! My family laughed so hard at me. Thanks for the info and entertainment

I have a Stohlquist Fishmerman. My opinion, buy the absolute best PFD you can afford! Appreciate the video!

I had been looking at the Old Town Lure for a while, and came here to plug your affiliate link. Stock is running out- they only had grey in my size. Thanks for the resource.

Great video. Your absolutly right. PFD's "prevent f***ing death" 😂😂😂😂💯. Great video, great info. I just purchased a NRS Chinook OS.

fly keepers are great for changing lures with treble hooks

Last year I bought a NRS chinook, I noticed now you are wearing any old town personal protection device. Is this your favorite vest now? And which model is it? Please leave a link. Thank you for all your support to us new fisherman.

Great review..I like the old town's inside design to keep your body cool, but they camoflauge their colors and i rather been seen on a kayak then not. I have the newer NRS which i like the design, clips, and bright colors so you can be seen, minus the inside where it's not as cool.

Does anyone make a CO2 cartridge inflatable PFD Fishing vest? Just thinking similar to you regarding the amount of space that is taken up in the chest area. Thanks, I appreciate your responses.

How does a knife keep you from drowning? Get caught up on weeds or fishing line? Thanks for the video.

Love the video & your channel. Bout to purchase a fishing PFD. In your opinion, how important is it to have a high "viz" PFD out on the water kayaking?? Bight orange, yellow etc? Torn between bright orange & army green. If you can reply that would be awesome. Thnx for your time! 👍

How do you attach the NRS knife to the old town pfd?

[philiptrump]

Is there an area on the Old Town you can mount your Pilot Knife on?
