- I have had this FeelFree Lure 11.5 for over four years now, and the day has finally come to sell it. Obviously it was a great kayak, but at this point in my life, it just wasn't right anymore. In this video, I chat a bit about some of the pros and cons of this particular rig... Oh, and by the way, I bought something new with the money :D
I will never speak poorly about any kayak company as I feel there really aren't any bad kayaks on the market. It is all about getting something which fits your needs on the water. I feel I have found that with the kayaks I now have!

Yeah buddy!!!!! Loving it! When I saw the title I was hoping you were getting a new yak! She looks big, stable and super comfortable. And just a little quick trip out and you slimed her. Awesome! Can't wait to see more of this bad boy on the water 👍
You will like it - as you know, Native kayaks are beasts, and this one is freaking 36” wide. My goodness, it’s so comfy!
Nice man! You are going to love the Slayer 12XC!
Dude I already am! Stay tuned because I just took it out again and I flipping love it 🤠
@@FishAnything Oh, I'm tuned like Willie Nelson's gitfiddle!
Always nice to get a new toy.
Yeah, I can’t help but constantly buy and sell gear! It’s just fun to me 🤣🤣
This thing looks like a beast! I've always been quite impressed by Native kayaks, cant wait to see what you have planned for this one.
Thanks Bradley - yes it is a beast and I’m super excited to fish it in the river tbh. It’s built for wonderful river fishing. And Native has been my favorite line of kayaks for some time now, so I’m super pumped to be on board with them.
Ha ha, nice music on your drive and great video!
Thanks!! 🤠👊🏽
I'm planning on getting one of these for rivers in Virginia... Thanks for the video
Awesome, I think you’ll love the kayak! It’s a great river rig 🤠
I'm excited about it 😁👍 appreciate it
Is it a cathedral/tri-hull? Would you say it would be more stable than the big fish 120?
That was an omen, Ethan. You just acquired a Panfish Yak. Congrats!
It is filled with panfish mojo and I’m very excited about it 🤣
Nice pick-up on a demo 12 XC. Bought a new kayak a year ago and it came down to the XC vs the Lure 11.5. Long story short ... I fish from a 11.5 but wished I had gone the other way. Anxious to hear more about your time in the 12 XC ... spring 2020 is just around the corner :)
Thanks Jim! It’s been an incredible kayak in the short time I’ve had it 🤠 can’t wait to fish out of it more!
@@FishAnything ... Just unloaded my Lure 11.5 ... any more insight into the XC now that you've been in it for awhile ... how does the speed compare to the Lure? ... Thanks
@@JimHickeyFishing what don't you like about the lure?
@@kevingonfishing6023 ... the Lure was okay and worked well for 3 seasons but I wanted a more open boat with operable horizontal rod storage (FF added it to my 2020 but it's not that great)
That was a pumpkin seed my friend. tight lines D.C.
Thanks my man! 👊🏽 I always catch pumpkinseeds and forget that’s what they are every time 🤣 that was a solid pumpkinseed 😸
Unbelievable, I just upgraded to my Hoodoo Impulse 120 fin drive. I listed my 2021 Tempest 120 pdl Monday night, and It was gone wednesday morning. With atleast 21 calls. This sport is just awsome. And I run a Bixpy with the fin drive. Awsome boat! I love the Native fleet. They're solid. 😎 🙏 🎣
Awesome! I love kayak fishing, and half the fun is trying new rigs lol
Neat! Tight Lines!
Thank you 🤠 tight lines
nice vid akbar, some good views came with this vid :)
Thanks Dorgan 🤠
nice kayak man!
Thank you!!
Nice!
Thanks!
New kayak, new size of fish being caught by Online Outdoorsman!! No more dinks. Looks like it'll be a fun one.
Woot woot! Thanks Neal, you need to come test it out. My gosh is it comfortable 🤠
@@FishAnything that sounds good
Has your kayak got a wheel .. if so, would this wheel be suitable for transporting the kayak, perhaps from a car-park to the water ... Or is it really just for beach use. ? It seems a very useful feature with the Feelfree kayaks, I’m surprised other manufacturers don’t adopt this idea.
It’s a great concept which I miss however it definitely makes it track worse in my opinion. I like the design of my native kayaks and I purchased a c-tug to transport them longer distances down a ramp.
@@FishAnything
Thank you for your answer.
Would the optional skeg make tracking better?
I am going to buy a sit-on kayak and I'm 99% certain I'll buy the Feelfree Nomad.

So, I am getting back into Fishing this year! I would like to buy a Fishing Kayak in the Future! My Dad and I used to have a Canoe years ago. What would you suggest as a Beginner Kayak. I have heard that BassPro Ascend Kayaks don't Track well. And I was looking at one Yesterday at L.L. Bean. It was an Anger 120. List price was $699. It did have the dry storage compartment in the bow,2 permanent rod holder's etc ect! Any ideas on a decent Beginners Fishing Kayak?
Andrew Hirons I have an Ascend 12t and love it!
I've been fishing from my Tarpon100 for 9 years and love it (low cost, low weight, plenty of features)

Andrew - thanks for asking! Always happy to help 🤠 as Kobe and Larry said, the Ascend and Wilderness kayaks are both great options. I would expand a bit and ask the following: 1) how big are you? 2) do you want the ability to stand? 3) what types of water systems will you primarily fish? 4) price range?
After that, I’ll have a better idea of how I can help! Feel free to DM me on any social media site as well, I’m happy to go into detail there and it’s easier to see the messages.
I'm 5'11, 215lbs. Mostly fishing in Canals. I will budget for $1000.00. I will still have to buy PFD and Paddle. With that in Mind I have been looking at the Ascend 10t &Feel Free Lure 10 Kayaks!
Definitely think the FeelFree is a good option although a 10 might be a little short for you... You could look at used kayaks and see if you can find an 11.5 for a good deal! Also, I recently posted an entire series on the Native Manta Ray 12 XT as well which is a very comfortable kayak and affordable at the $899 price point. Based on your size, I really think you’ll be comfortable in most 11-12 foot kayaks. If you want the ability to stand with ease, the FF & Ascend are both great options. If you want to stand but feel like you’ll sit more often, the Native is faster and lighter so that’s why I like it. Otherwise, you might also take a look at Vibe kayaks which are pretty decent and affordable. DM me on IG, Twitter, or FB if I can help more.
Do you prefer the paddle kayaks to the pedal?
At this point, yes. I will definitely consider upgrading in the future when I have a bigger vehicle and more space!
You definitely got some good mojo with this kayak 😁
Kayak Outbreak is this the XC Alec fishes out of? It’s got HUGE mojo!
@@spraderstv8283 yep, that's the one.
MOJO!!! I love mojo, in fact.... Maybe we should name it Mojo??? Thoughts on the new name for the Slayer?
nice kayak. hope you got that grilled cheese and beer
I got the beer.... No grilled cheese 😥
Are you really tall or is the kayak just a little short? It looks like your legs don't even fully stretch out when you're sitting down. I wish my kayak was that wide, though.
I’m 6’6 and the Native is 12’ long! I didn’t have the seat extended back as far as it could go that day, but will definitely move it back further next trip.
yeah, you look a bit tall for that kayak..good luck with your next kayak
Thank you sir! The Slayer is a much more comfortable ride due to the adjustable seat which sits up higher 🤠
That’s awesome, buddy! Two kayaks, you’re a baller now. 😂 So how’d I miss you were on the Native Team?!? Did you already get your hat and performance shirt ordered ?
They have slacked on my swag 🤣 hopefully will get it soon! I haven’t made a huge deal out of it honestly. Just trying to remain unbiased while also showcasing the value of Native!
Which kayak you are talking?
I sold the feelfree and bought a native slayer 12XC as I showed in the video
doesn't lighter mean thinner hulls?
Potentially! There are numerous things which could impact the weight of a boat. Plastic type, amount of pre-rigged accessories, hull design, etc.
How tall are you?
6'6! Long legged goon :D
I have a 13 ft predator pdl drive
That’s awesome Dayton! Great kayak 🤠
I am to happy with my lure to ever sell it . But , I am 5’11”.
It’s a solid kayak, don’t get me wrong. Just need to get what best fits your personal needs! I’ve since upgraded again lol now I have a Native Manta Ray Propel!
Literally.
👀?
I was told by an outfitter that you could order a higher back for the lure seat for $60 .... For $1100 The seat back should be higher already..
Good point! Not sure why they make it so short but I agree it should be higher right off the bat. I have enjoyed my Native seats. They are comfy and offer plenty of support.
It’s like .....ditching your loyal girl for a hotter chick! 😵jk cool vid.
Haha that’s a great comparison! Thanks man
Do some more Crank so you can talk faster
No thanks
IMO the Feel Free is the much better option. Please enlighten me ONE thing the NS does that the Feel Free doesn't? An for literally half the price. It's slower, barely lighter and barely even wider or more stable. There's literally zero reason to sell the lure for that Native Slayer other than bragging about what you spent. Guarantee the native slayer gives you ZERO advantage over the Lure.......
