The Best inflatable Fishing Kayak EVER?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- Unboxing, Inflating and Paddling the brand new iATAK 110. Official launch for this boat is March 7th 2024. This could be the perfect solution for the avid angler that has limited storage. It is comparatively priced with mid level hard shell fishing kayaks, with the added benefit of being able to fit inside the trunk of your car or in the closet. When you consider the pumps, seat, accessory mounts and storage bag, the price seems reasonable. I for one, never thought I'd be fishing (seriously) from an inflatable kayak. Let alone really enjoy it. Yet, here we are. I will be putting this boat to the test over the coming months. I hope you come along for the ride!

I always find it so funny that people who hear I fish out of an Inflatable boat or my Inflatable Kayak, the first thing they say is, " I would be worried about a hook puncturing it." Both of my vessels are great for fishing and the boat is no different than my aluminum counterpart. The trick I find is not to think about it as different, the material used is strong and very puncture resistant. It is not a pool toy, they are great alternatives for people who need portability
i dare you to catch a blue fish or a ray in this boat.
Oh yeah, the same. lol
How do you think these would hold up to a gator? We have a ton of gators in my area.
Not a good idea in FL.
That thing is incredible. The cross between a paddle board and kayak
your kayak videos are what got me into kayaking.. and then you got a real boat.so glad your back to the kayaks.
Inspection time mean Marty will add his so called homey touches to it to make it 1,000 times better ❤
Some tips from an old inflatable fishing device user, i hope it helps somebody:
The sun will increase pressure, so take that in mind if you are in warm water with a southern sun above.
I always carry the tube of the pump inside the kayak so if you have any pressure losses during your travels you can always return, one good idea would be to carry that electric pump with you besides the manual pump pipe.
Of course, avoid oysters 😂
And have all a nice day!
Ha! I bet you won't be drilling holes in this kayak!
He didn't mention that this thing has pressure valves on it in case the heat tries to over inflate it. I would not use this in cold northern waters in spring.
@@drjekelmrhyde yeah, dont understand how they didnt think of this when designing this product. Yes, it will prevent the kayak from exploding from overpressure in the sun. However, it will also lose pressure and deflate automatically upon contact with cold water. This scenario isnt going to be catastrophic like the other, but you will be obligated to carry the pump with you in the water.
Excellent advice. I used to do the same with my Zodiac 9 ft. inflatable. Got to keep the pump in the boat at all times.
Honestly Marty thats the most kayaklike inflatable kayak Ive seen, seems like a real winner for almost every place except the most oystery locales, cheers!
How nice! I sold my kayak about a year ago! I miss it . I might consider buying one of those! Thanks for the review!
I'll consider buying this later the spring. Thanks for the video review!
The first thing I noticed is the weather 😩. I wish I was the there right now!!! I live in Canada and all I have is snow and cold 🥶. I'm in the process of selling my house and thinking of moving somewhere warm like Florida. But I wish the immigration process was easier 😒 I've always said to everyone I know that I'm an American at heart ❤️ and I need to find a way to move there permanently. But love your videos it's always fun to escape the cold even if it's just virtually lol 😂.
Brother, I know how you feel. Living in Northern Michigan is getting old at 63 years old I am ready for a change in latitude. Remember, you are not only an "American at heart" you ARE an American because you do live in America! We often forget the difference between the United States and America.
Thanks Marty
Never gets old watching you either😂
Cool man, nice for some one who likes a Kayak. Good to see ya, Fl, is so nice.
When I see a video with Marty video pop up, it makes my day. Thanks for all the content,bud!!
This looks pretty interesting! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love it. Far easier to store if you don't go out for extended periods. All ordinary zip ties are reusable and cheaper than those that say they are. All you need is any Swiss army knife with a tooth pick.
What a great video man. Great editing style. Very natural flow and great content. Very cool kayak
good to see u out and about again.
Hey Marty, the kayak looks well-designed. I live in a small apartment so am a big fan of inflatable boats. I was impressed by the bag. Nearly all inflatables I have owned come with a bag so small the boat will not go back in. This bag looks like it will fit the boat well. If an inflatable is stored in an apartment and used for fishing it needs to be cleaned very well. Inflatables are time-consuming compared to rigid boats but they are often the only option. My only suggestion is the company produces a kayak in Marty Zoffinger orange like the old kayak we all watched you start the channel with. Looking forward to more reviews of boats that people in apartments can use. ( and a sailing kayak,LOL) see ya Marty
Remember Marty... no new pad eyes...
Rigging up the boat means you're gonna go out on it. Of course it's exciting!
what an amazing kayak, I want one!! Wilderness is cool!!
Marty!!!! First comment
Edit: Just got another kayak today and I have you to thank for this therapy/addiction. I caught the bug from watching your videos back when Kon Tiki was all there was. Thank you so much for continuing to make videos and I hope I get to fish with you one day.
I knew I was gonna like this guy when he sniffs the kayak seat and says, "Smells like a new car!"
Very nice video. Good to have someone speak clearly .
Good see u again marty . It is a pretty cool inflatable
Nice video. Thanks Marty
Of Coarse you get excited working on a Mod or a new ride that's your specialty Marty...and we Love watching you do it ,that's why we tune in .. Gods Blessings my friend...
Pretty slick man. Looks like a blast.
If Zo has a podcast, I would be all over that!😊
NRS Star Rival is great inflatable, 3 separate chambers, drop stitch floor and framed seat.
its great but the two side chambers are not drop stitch unlike this one. So the rigidity, performance and endurance of this one should be the closest there is to a hardshell kayak, pretty revolutionary if you ask me.
Nothing like finishing my second shift of the day and seeing a new Zoffinger video is out when I get home. Ah, life is sweet.
Hello Marty
I enjoyed watching your videos back then when you still had your motorboat Kon Tikki and went on a few tours with your friend. I almost felt like I was there when I wasted my thoughts on it like that.
Unfortunately it's not as feasible here as it is in the USA, well what do you want to do, I as a single father with 2 children can't do that. So thank you again for your impressions. Greetings Lutz from Northern Germany
Love those chem trail sky's
Hope you’re doing well Marty. Interesting new toy there.
great video great kayak, though I would flatten the back legs of the seat so they rest flat on the pads. Always enjoy your videos, prompted me to get a kayak. Great fun.
Looks pretty cool! I have had an outcast pac1000 pontoon boat for about 20 years. I love it but it takes a good half hour to assemble after you get to the water. The big plus is it can fit in the back of a small hatch back. I do have one tip to pass on...On a warmer day the air will expand and the psi will go up, just be sure to check how firm it feels after you have been out on the water. With the pontoon boat it's easy to let some air out of the pontoons (on the water)when the psi goes up on you. On warmer days I leave the pontoons psi a little low because I know they will firm up as it gets warm....FishOn...Jim
Looks great. You need to talk to those folks at wilderness about revising the commander 120. I have caught more fish out of that thing than any kayak. I’ve had it for about 13 years now. Definitely will be looking at this for a creek/river boat.
Hey Mr.Zoffinger when can i get my hands on one ! Love your videos, the simple one's the most. Thanks long time sub.
Been fishing from my Seagle 380x for years. It’s my travel boat, when the Northriver can’t go. Folds up and fits in the SUV nicely. The 380x had taken my down Klamath rolling over rocks and very stable. It is the first generation of “drop stitch “
good times in my 380x almost killed us a few times. but if you carry a good kite boarding pump and some patches you should be ok. ended up tossing it after the mice chewed a a big hole in it.
Awesome video I was considering buying one and saw your videoi have a Jeep I’m trying to do the compact set up
Good stuff! Makes me wants to buy one 👊
Great review Marty. I don't think this would be for me. Upper body health problems mean I need a pedal or motorised Kayak. Also here in the UK, a lot of folk on a number of forums say that the inflatable Kayaks don't track very well, and there have been cases of users being blown out to sea from the Harbour and having to be rescued. They seem to catch the wind more than solid Yaks or SUP's.
Stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍
I had a wilderness commander 110 sit inside kayak. It has a built-in transom you should try one out. I had a blast in mine.
Very good kayak. You can turning it into a sailing kayak very easy. It will be good for sea too!
love it !
I own SeaEagle for couple of year now - a similar idea but I’m missing accessory mounts and foot rests… but turnable seat makes it hard to go back to regular kayaks… one potential problem I see is paddling in crosswinds… it is also possible to put a trolling motor on SeEagle is possible, I only did it twice and wasn’t impressed, so I would not gonna miss it… but it good to finally have mo choices for inflatables - easier to get by without a truck 😉
Sick kayak def a snook slayer !!!
Nice review!
Great demo. The only think a bit crazy about this kayak is the price.
Love to see it going into rough waters! With no scupper holes I’d be curious big time 👀
nice setup
I'm going to get one soon as I can.
Very impressive
looks like a great kayak! Have you ever tested out the BOTE Zeppelin inflatable? We love ours and they package with two seats/paddles/pump/tiedown kits and a cooler for around $1800. The Kayak alone is around 1300
You could tape that fin clip cord so it dont snag a branch or anything
That is pretty dope though. lol I wish it was 50 here. Oregon Baby!!
Hey Marty this too bad you can not drill hole in this one !! HA HA HA Marty keep up the good work!
I bet he could make it happen. Next up: "How to drill a hole in an inflatable kayak."
Looks cool. The company Bote makes some similar ones. Even a pedal drive. Hope this one isn't as pricey
what?? another video .. marty is on fire !!
Very interesting review and product. How does it compare to your catch mode? I like my catch mode, but I don't like it how paddles. Slow as hell, feels like a barge. This one seems similar in many ways, but seems to paddle better.
ATAK anyone that’s a James Bond fan will remember that from For Your Eyes Only. 😊
I saw this video and I was interested in buying one to store at my family members house in Florida for when I go down for fishing trips. But, for the $1,700 price I think I'll just buy someones used kayak to use a few times a year. I'll be headed down in a few months in May to fish Tampa bay / Weedon area.
Well he's good at paddling in circles. 😂
Cool 😎 inflatable kayak. 🛶 nice videos Marty! Here’s to sunshine 🌞 and tight lines! 🍻
excellent kayak, only sun protection is missing
Real test - oyster beds
For the price I wouldn't expect a flat bottom. I'll be interested in seeing how it performs on open water, in wind. I see custom deep skeg mods happening.
Did you try fitting everything into the backpack? I mean the seat and paddle?
I just wouldn't feel safe in it , I'd be paranoid about sharks , my last boat was a 31ft steel cutter which made me feel more secure
Hi Bro,
Can it use a 22lb. or 36lb. Trolling motor?
I can't wait for mounting the jet engines!
Marty whatever you do DON'T drill a hole in this one! lol ;)
Can you tell us what it weighs, it looks pretty cool
Wilderness needs to do the Recon HD in an inflatable
Inflatables ftw!
Marty, is that a drain hole under the seat?
My only concern, which is my concern with all inflatable boats is HOOKS.. I am pretty sure I would not be out on the water more then an hour and I would goof up and poke a hole in it.
How does it do in the wind?
Was this the kayak at iCast?
How does water drain?
Sweet deal
How come you don't show how to break it down wet, after a trip?
The only issue is the time it would take to disassemble when the sun is setting. I'd be ripped apart by mosquitos to and from the lake.
Hmmmm, is that alligator and shark bite safe? 😂
I wouldn’t be afraid of regular alligators but I’d be very worried the was an alligator with rabies. It would be totally unpredictable!
One person only kayak?
You’re making me nervous with your being out there with alligators.
Did anyone else hear Predator in the background at the start?
I hope that’s not a no wake zone 😅
Ok, but where is wilderness today?
I wish it had pedal drive
Se ve vien pero el problema los anzuelos un lagarto que se le ocurra morder o un tiburón puede ser ,y adiós 😅
I was using an inflatable before you were born
its excellent but definately not in my budget thanks :)
My pelican weighs 40lbs lol
That sucka is nice but a pretty penny
looks like someone used your seat design
I bet this kayak wouldn't last if fishing in rivers with rocks in it!!! Lol no matter what it's made of nothing can take on sharp rocks might pop up!! Even metal and steel canoes can't take on rocks that might not be seen. There's so many videos that would make you think about an inflatable kayak or canoe, I'm just saying watch the video's.
Very major fault (to my mind) is a single main air chamber. In my opinion there should be at minimum 3 separate chambers.
The reason being, if you puncture 1 chamber you only lose a minority of the buoyancy.
I think 6 chambers, one as an inner chamber that will keep the basic shape (a kind of loop), 4 chambers around the sides, and a base chamber.
Well, you look in shape. 63% of Americans are now considered obese. So I don't seem them pumping this up. Especially after you said, "that was a workout".
That’s a neat kayak. Just not for me. I’d have to live somewhere that only has really remote access to see a need for this. But still, cool boat.
