    Good to hear the perspective from someone who has actually used them quite extensively. Thanks!

    Thanks for the video. Biggest struggle for most of us is finding a place that carries these specific “purpose built” PFDs to try on before buying.

    Great , Great Video . I still cannot understand why people still do not wear a PFD. You must wear one at All times while Kayaking Period . 👍👍

    I have a Stohlquist Fishmerman. My opinion, buy the absolute best PFD you can afford! Appreciate the video!

    I had been looking at the Old Town Lure for a while, and came here to plug your affiliate link. Stock is running out- they only had grey in my size. Thanks for the resource.

    So I'm watching the video again trying to figure out what off to get and about the 6:22 mark I hear this braaat braaaawt . I'm grilling and looking at my chickens trying to figure out if there's a predator or something. It's your chickens! My family laughed so hard at me. Thanks for the info and entertainment

    Last year I bought a NRS chinook, I noticed now you are wearing any old town personal protection device. Is this your favorite vest now? And which model is it? Please leave a link. Thank you for all your support to us new fisherman.

    Great review..I like the old town's inside design to keep your body cool, but they camoflauge their colors and i rather been seen on a kayak then not. I have the newer NRS which i like the design, clips, and bright colors so you can be seen, minus the inside where it's not as cool.

    Does anyone make a CO2 cartridge inflatable PFD Fishing vest? Just thinking similar to you regarding the amount of space that is taken up in the chest area. Thanks, I appreciate your responses.

      Old Town Angler PFD. Its easier to layer up and stay warm than to try and find ways to be cool.

      I mount mine on a loop center chest. Check my latest video to see where I running it. I do wish it had a lash tab but it doesn't

    Love the video & your channel. Bout to purchase a fishing PFD. In your opinion, how important is it to have a high "viz" PFD out on the water kayaking?? Bight orange, yellow etc? Torn between bright orange & army green. If you can reply that would be awesome. Thnx for your time! 👍

    Nice video. In short, just go purchase a $30 mesh PFD of your size at Academy or Bass Pro. All those u showed are type III rated at 16lbs buoyancy. I can confirm the Kokatat Bahia has 2 and a half inches of foam up front. That’s WAYYYY too much. When u start adding junk to the vest, it will affect the buoyancy. If u want more buoyancy, check out NRS Big Water Guide at 22lbs or even the V model for whitewater at 25lbs. I love my onyx Camo mesh PFD. It doesn’t interfere with my paddle strokes nor my cast. Happy paddling 🛶

    You don’t have to wear the Kokatat so high.

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tried wearing it lower and when I sat in the kayak it put a lot of pressure on my abdominal area.

    • @JBFree87
      @JBFree87 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use a feelfree lure with the elevated seat and I’m 6’1, so maybe that’s why it’s more comfortable to me.
