*We’ve only used it a couple of times **enjoyable.fishing** recommend but it was great! Easy to inflate and deflate, perfect for the 2 of us and our pup.*
Ive been fishing all my life and lived on the lake with my own boat as a kid and i can honestly say kayak nowadays are so badass. Really the most important thing on a boat is the trolling motor and electronics. The boat just gets you there.
That thing looks like it's build like a tank. I was looking into buying one too but I already have the ascend 12t and and it's lighter and more convenient for one person to carry. Plus I didn't like the rails on it. They weren't sturdy enough, trust me when I say you will lose a big fish and your rod holder because the rod holder WILL pop out with a little force
I hear the seat doesn’t hold up too well. I want to buy this for my lady to join me fishing on my big fish 108 with Newport vessels motor. I’d plan on putting a feel free gravity seat in that bad boy if it fits if not fabricate seat so I will fit. Realllllly nice kayak and outstanding features for the original price of $1050.00 usd. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💎
The factory seat tends to fall out of the groves. I have had a problem with these. But Ascend is aware of it and will give you a replacement. Idk if this is still an issue on the newer models. Other then that no issues. The chair is very supportive and very comfortable.
Never been big on the Ascend brand, mainly as I don't see any of their yaks being good for the salt, flats maybe, but not the yak I would go to chase Pac Salmon or Butts with.
Saw this yak yesterday. Dude had the copilot setup with his TM and he was standing with no issues. Made me question my purchase of the Pelican Catch PWR100:). would have to have a trailer tho.
That looks like an amazing kayak. I wish more had the trolling motor mount and set up. The only thing is, it scares me to think about being in a river or creek where I might have to carry it. How has it been loading, unloading, and portaging it?
I made a kayak cart for this rig and will be uploading a video of it soon. Makes it super easy to transport. I will also make a video on how I load and unload it from my roof rack.
i find the tray under the seat fits better between the seat and bracket with the rope towards the back. i wish ascend would have done a better job of explaining this stuff.
Bought two units...missing parts and the worst customer service I have ever had...the kayak is great but if you want customer service....this is not the company you want.

Great kayak for fishing or just exploring
Sure is. I love fishing out of this kayak.
Wow! Big, wide, OPEN, and built for power. Truly like a 1 man bass boat. Yaks have come a long way, baby! I might need to go see this one.
Great video I am thanking about buying one
excellent tour! i'm getting one this week. huge! i'v heard of it refered to an aircraft carrier.
Awesome you’ll love it. It is huge but I like that I have to ability to fish standing up in this kayak.
I like this one open cockpit. More stable looking. Wider. Not so cramped sitting all the time
One of the major reasons I got this kayak was the open cockpit. I can spread out and stand and I don't feel cramped at all.
Love your video brother, great description and very honest
Very nice, very big.
Thanks!
This is definitely gonna be my first kayak. Not a bad price for what it comes with!! I guess I'll have to price out a trolling motor now.
At what point do they stop being a " kayak"
Sick yak bro
Thanks!
Gonna sub gotta feeling this Yak gonna be pimped out 💪 thinking grabbing the same Yak also
I appreciate it. It's a great kayak .
Sick kayak brother, working on getting mine done. Configuring steering after my shifter is done!

Would the transducer that close to a front motor/prop cause any misreads or funky outputs on the finder?

How are you liking this kayak now ?
Never been big on the Ascend brand, mainly as I don't see any of their yaks being good for the salt, flats maybe, but not the yak I would go to chase Pac Salmon or Butts with.
Bought one yesterday. Six inches of snow. Its in back of van which now will not start.
Saw this yak yesterday. Dude had the copilot setup with his TM and he was standing with no issues. Made me question my purchase of the Pelican Catch PWR100:). would have to have a trailer tho.
I actually put this kayak on the roof of my Jeep. I have a video of how I load and unload coming soon.
Can you still pade this or is it only for use with a motor
I've paddled multiple times and it is doable. Not the best though. Motor is definitely the way to go.
@@aclifffishing thank you

@@aclifffishing awesome man. Looking forward to seeing it.
They are getting to a point that it really isnt a Kayak any more its a boat. This thing is way to heavy. Great review.
No tie downs for battery? That’s a major oversight.
For some maybe. I have not had any issues yet tho.
What’s the price tag? I’ve been looking for them in literally 4 bass pro shops. Can’t find one to save my life and can’t get it online.
I purchased mine online for $1000
@@aclifffishing where did you order it from? Did they deliver??
@@ramblinoutlaw my local cabelas. No I went to go pick it up.
@@ramblinoutlaw you can get it delivered if you want I choose to pick up
Where is this yak sold?
Bass Pro or Cabelas.
i find the tray under the seat fits better between the seat and bracket with the rope towards the back. i wish ascend would have done a better job of explaining this stuff.
That’s true but for the purpose of video I just put it underneath the chair.
What is the height of this kayak?
Roughy 14 inches
@@aclifffishing >Thank You Very Much!
Could this be used as a tandem?
I’ve seen photos of two people in this kayak and it has the room. But personally I would not recommend it as it was designed for one person.
@@aclifffishing too bad. It would be great if Ascend made a tandem to single. Also add in a pedal drive system.
