An in depth walkthrough of the New Jackson Kayak BIG RIG!! This video covers all the great features found on Jacksons latest fishing platform! For more information go to jacksonkayak.com/.
This might be crazy to say but one of the main things that would sell me on this is the aft anchor hole. What I really wanna see is this launched from a beach and then going through the breakers. How well will it handle then? I think the width of this kayak would be beneficial to divers. I also like the forward and rear hatches but I think it should have a center console as the Kracken does as well.
What an amazing Kayak, I have been looking into buying a fishing kayak in the coming months and this just topped my list with this informative video. If your customer service is as professional as your videos you hit a home run. My only question is can I install a Lowrance Unit in this kayak without drilling any new holes?
There are a lot of ways to install one on this kayak. The best thing to do avoid any drilling would be to mount the unit using Ram Mounts to the Yakattack Gear Tracs provided. You could the battery inside the kayak through a hatch and simply run the wires out the hatch. Another option would be to use the CellBlok www.yakattack.us/CLB_1001_p/clb-1001.htm.
Seems like the number one kayak out there it's at the top of my list and in considering buying one but if never mentions how much the big rig pro cost?
I'm gonna be picking up my big rig in a couple weeks. Installing the power pole and the Raymarine fishfinder. What did you use to connect your ram mount to the Raymarine? Thanks.
Buenos días.. sería muy bueno q ustedes como empresa hicieran sus vídeos también en español ya que hay muchas personas con ganas de comprar sus kayak para pesca x q en Suramérica hay mucha gente en este deporte comenzando con la pesca ..
discusctx I agree with you. Beach launch and through the breakers. If it can handle that much then I wouldn't worry about how well it performs on a lake.
While it has never been tested for that purpose, a small motor like the torqueedo would not likely put a lot of pressure on the kayak. If you try it we would love for you to share your experience with us!
Great Kayak would it be suitable for use in Blue waters for Fishing ...say around Islands ect ...or what Jackson Kayak would you suggest as i'm in Australia any help would be much Appreciable as this is my first Kayak. cheers
While this Kayak would work, it may not be the best offer for open water. It is designed to be supper stable for standing in inshore type fisheries. The Jackson Cuda, however is more of an open water yak and would give you more speed to hit the blue water! Here are the specs: jacksonkayak.com/jk-kayaks/kayak-fishing/cuda/
Just bought mine today at Fluid Fun in Bristol, Indiana. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Can't wait to rig mine with trolling Moton!!
That's a well thought out kayak right there! I'm impressed.
Good job!

best bigrig ever scranton pa craigs list.....cheap loaded to the gills
Is this a good kayak for fly fishing slow moving rivers, bays for sturgeon, and possibly trolling for salmon?
prolly not. for fly you want flat deck. If your landing your line in the deck. you don't want it wrapped up on junk

Can you add a rudder system on the version that doesn't have one?

discusctx I agree with you. Beach launch and through the breakers. If it can handle that much then I wouldn't worry about how well it performs on a lake.

I'd buy one if they weren't so expensive ik that quality is expensive but still how often do you have sales?

Yeah at 7:00 that dog is onto something
does the insert patern for the mounting bracket for micro anchor, strong enough to hold a trolling motor? or torqueedo?
While it has never been tested for that purpose, a small motor like the torqueedo would not likely put a lot of pressure on the kayak. If you try it we would love for you to share your experience with us!
Can you tell me which brand/size the cleat is that is used? Thanks
