    My brother has me interested in kayaks. Unfortunately, he lives in Georgia and I in Texas. I will mostly be going alone so I was considering this one as that front deck looks like a great place for my 25lb dog to hang out. Thanks for the video.

    I only had one chance to take my 12T out on the water, it was fun. Had my 50lb dog in the spot behind the seat. About to get a drysuit so I can take it out in cold weather. I haven't started to look at mods yet but it should be fun.

    I’ve been looking for a yak myself my boats are a lot of work taking out and my friends never want to go so I’m usually by myself any bang for the buck yaks you recommend? I was on one a long time ago but I couldn’t tell you what it was but it was basic for sure but every fish I hooked I had no control I hung a 3 pounder in it and it drug me across the pond 😂 ended up getting to the Lilly’s but I managed to get her in just wasn’t crazy about that

    • @TUFFBASS

      Take a look at this one herebassproshops.vzck.net/vnY5z3, You can always get a more budget kayak but honestly you would be very happy with either the 10T or 12T. They are both very good quality and in my opinion best bang for the buck at the price.

      As far as keepers i would recommend a stringer that you can tie off on the side of your yak. Other than that a cooler coule possible fit behind the seat instead of a crate!

      It's strange, but at Cabela's/BassPro the reviews on the 10t are not great (lots of stability complaints) and the 12t are really good (lots of stability compliments). I don't know enough about kayaks to speculate why, but there is a significant difference between the comments on the two kayaks. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

      @@Bricknose5.0 They are both the same width so if loaded properly there shouldn't be much difference. The problem for some could be they are overloading them. Most people with experience say to stay between 20 to 30 percent below the max weight to be in the best performance range. That also includes not just you but all your gear and your dog as a few people say they bring with them. If you plan to bring a lot of stuff or are a little on the larger side I would go with the 12 foot for only $100 more. Happy paddling!

      I think complaints about stability may come from inexperience in kayaks! Also sit on kayaks tend to feel a little awkward if you're new to the sit ons vs the sit ins

    • @TUFFBASS
      @TUFFBASS  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I ended up returning this kayak as mine was warped which I discovered after making this video. I decided to get an Old Town sportsman 120 and it is WAY more stable. I can stand on my new kayak and do a full 360 and grab stuff behind the seat etc. the ascend is a good budget kayak, but with budget kayaks come cons such as quality, durability, stability etc. the cons for this yak ended up outweighing the positives for my use case.
