- No better way to end the day than watching the sun go down from the seat of a kayak. Today I caught the sunset in the Oldtown Loon 106. This was my first time paddling this little kayak and I was impressed. It was well thought out, well made, and did exactly what its suppose to do. If your looking for a small portable fishing kayak for floating rivers or paddling close to shore, the Loon is a fantastic choice. If you like the looks of the smaller Loon but need some more speed or storage, check out the Loon 126.

Definitely a shoot out would be dope 12 ft loon vs pungo vs Saluda and the santee
Thanks for the review on the 106 old town loon that helped me out big time thanks again keep up the good work .
I have this kayak and can 100% say I LOVE IT!!! I tried out several sizes and styles before coming across this one and you couldn't pay me to trade it for anything else!
I can’t wait to see the shootout of recreational kayaks. This one is definitely on my list of possible purchases.
Love my Loon 120! A little heavy, but the most comfortable and adjustable seat I've sat in. Would love to see a review of a 120 or the 126 angler!
Thanks for the feedback. I’d love to get in one too. Especially as we move into fall and cooler temps on the water.
Great looking yak.. I really like old Town products.
I like the format 👊 Another great review.
Cool thanks for the feedback.
Another great review.
I love my loon. Sometimes it’s a little too stable and wide but it’s great. Got a skirt for it for cooler days. So comfortable!
Cool didn’t know they made a skirt for it. Thanks for checking in.
That's good to know that you can get a spray skirt for it!
Another great video
I have the OT Sportsman 120 paddle only version for fishing and I am adding the Loon 126 Angler to my fleet this year. Looking forward to having a sit inside option and it is hard to beat the quality of Old Town. Great videos and honest reviews. Keep up the great work!
Best loon review I’ve seen! Gonna hold out for a 120 but excellent video sir! Thank you
Thanks man! Appreciate you leaving a comment.
really enjoy your channel and watching your videos, may get a loon one of these days. We have a couple perception sound 10.5 that we love. Mostly paddle on the North Platte river here in Wyoming
Be nice to see a Loon 126 vs Pungo 125 review/shootout. As these are supposed to be the two most stable and comfortable kayaks in their class, with regards to price. Also can't seem to find any comparison of the two out there what so ever. It would be a good video to get some views for you I bet.
Would love to see a comparison on the 12 foot version vs the Pungo and the Saluda - but another great Video thank you.
love your reviews! I would love to see a video review on your best kayaks that you think would be best to bring your dog with you. I am looking to get a new kayak because I just rescued a Chihuahua and I feel my hurricane 116 is a little small to have her in the with mad I use the dashboard that comes with it.
Just got interested in kayaking and am appreciating all the knowledge your passing on. Would love to see a video comparing the Loon 126 vs Pungo 125.
Just filmed one on the main channel. It will be our next week
@@paddleboy84I've been trying to find the loon 126 video on the main channel and don't see it. Can you help me?
Hey just started kayaking, and have been enjoying your reviews! Keep up the great work! Also was curious what the toy y’all are playing the game with looks like a great fun??
Oh thats a Dead Fish Polo sponge. Basically a double-sided sponge with webbing holding it together. You use your paddle to toss it. If it lands on someone's board or boat you get a point. If they catch it, they get a point. If you flip you lose a point. The first one to 10 wins.
8:10 I was waiting for a Pungo comparison - great vid! hopefully you do a 12 ft Pungo - Loon shoot-out
Coming soon! Been traveling a bit for work. Shooting some new stuff for the main channel, but we’ll get on it soon!
It's a beautiful boat. It tracks nice, it handles nice, it has great stability, but one question remains. Can you get a spray skirt for that cavernous cockpit opening? Fishing in cold weather one might want one to prevent cold water from getting inside.
I haven’t looked. At that point I may just go with a pair of dry pants from Level six, NRS, or Kokatat.
You were in southwest Az?! I live in Yuma Az, as southwest Az you can get. We got a couple decent lakes around here. Come October to April perfect weather average of 75, Kayak all through the season.
We paddled 4 places in 3 days. It’s was a whirl wind and so hot! Excited to come back in fall.
I'm going to order the same but in camo color the Angler

pungo and OT are prime!!
Great content as always Dan. Looks like a pretty fast little boat, would you say that's accurate? What would you prefer between this and the pungo 105? Seeing them both, I feel like the Old Town just seems to have a higher build quality.
Side note, it does come with a paddle holder. It should be with the anchor, it's a taco style that screws into the pre-drilled holes on the side.
Ha! I’m the worst reviewer on the planet! I’ll check that tonight. I’ve got both the Pungo and loon. Both are sweet and similar build. I need to do a side by side.
@@paddleboy84 haha no you've got the best reviews in the business! I've been eyeing up the Loon 106, but was worried about slow hull speed being 31 inches wide. It looks like a quick little boat in this video, though!
Which kayak do you think would be better for a river system the lure 11.5 or oldtown sportsman 106?
I’ve never tried the Oldtown, the Lure works great on rivers like this.
Curious why someone might go with this over like a Moken? Seems like more room in Moken and less $. And maybe a bit better weight capacity.
The Performace of a sit in is better. They are also lighter off the water. More protection from the elements in cooler months. I’m not saying it’s better, I bet the Moken outsells this 10-1, but for some folks it would be a better tool.
Do you think it can be used on the coast or in bays like Key West?
there are better tools for the job. Longer is always better in bays. I’d also look for two bulkheads offshore.
Where do you put a Tackle box?
You’d have to be smart with your gear and pack light. There is room around the seat and in the front hatch, but this isn’t a kayak you’d fish a tournament in, it’s a two rod, one Plano box kind of kayak.
@@paddleboy84 ok ty
How’s the legroom for a taller paddler?
I’m 6 foot two and I had a few notches more than could have moved them
Anyone know where to get the thing they are tossing around that floats?
Right here! www.riverboundsports.com/dead-fish-polo-flippy/
May i ask how much these cost i have a cheap lifetime and want to upgrade after 5 years
I wish i would of bought this over the sportsman 106
Why is that? Curious to hear your feedback.
@@HeadwatersKayak i find the sportsman 106 to be a bit to heavy for me to comfortably carry and get on and off my vechile so this being 30ish pounds lighter would make it much easier
Agreed! Weights of kayaks listed on websites seem to be piper dreams now days. The weights of kayaks are getting out of hand!
How tall are you? Im 6'4". Does this boat have enough leg room for tall people? Your legs seem to fill it upp.
I’m 6’2” and yes it felt full. But doable.
