As an owner of the Pelican Catch 130...I have given this thing hell with no mercy. The original drive sucked but the replacement one has no issues at all. I have loaded this thing where you cant even see the kayak when ive gone kayak camping . I could paddle or pedal this thing all day long . Freshwater , saltwater , inshore or offshore never had any problems. Love my Pelican Catch 130.
Can you pull a handle to go on reverse like the hobies?
@@InshorePursuitFL No, you have to pull it out and put back in backwards to go reverse.
@@josefloridaflatsfishing2478 better anyway. Less moving pieces to wear down.
Hello Aliex thanks for your great videos.
I have pelican catch 130 and i tested it on big waves inshore (about 6 ft swell) facing waves and it didn't flip over with the feeling of total control over my pelican in this big swells.
I had a small issue with the long bolts inside the drive fins and i fix it by myself.
It is a great kayak for the price range and it is very rigid.
I have The pelican 130 it’s a great fishing platform even for my 280 lb Atlas figure. The fwd rod holder is a big plus . Under the seat scuff makes for a great transducer placement And is protected by the whole design plenty of water drainage through the Drive adapter. I have not had any drive issues probably only because I use a modified water snake with an insert. Drive is back lol . The Vibe looks like a great kayak as well with a lot more features and is faster but it sits lower in the water . With all that said I’m going to buy my wife the vibe when its really for me 😀
I've owned the Dorado, a bunch of cheaper kayaks and the catch 130. I love my catch 130 it's light enough to take anywhere. Just bought the big fish three water heavy is all get out! But I like it better than I did my feel free Dorado. And I bought all these because of your reviews! Thank you! I would recommend the pelican catch 130 to anybody, as long as they're not wanting to stand up fish....
I do take the big fish over the dorado I was thinking of putting two motors on the dorado just for
Fun
Great Video. Your right about crazy times. . The Vibe seat and Perch are big time back ordered, but like you said, this thing is next level. and the whole reason I am going Vibe. This company has great ideas. I am kinda a Hobie snob so it takes alot to get me to change but Vibe has garnered my attention! I do love the simplicity of Pelican. I would own a Pelican if I had a bunch of kayaks like you but I have to be a little more picky since 3 kayaks is pretty much my limit.
I have a shearwater 125 and it’s an okay kayak. The rudder and steering needs an update. It has a lower profile than my Bonafide 127 so it’s better for drift fishing as the wind doesn’t push it as much. The drive is nice for bass fishing. I prefer the Bonafide but each has it’s own strengths.
Awesome vid!! Always great info from you, thanks!
Thanks brother! I think we got a new boat !!
@@AliexFolgueira Thats amazing!! congrats!!
Pelican Catch 130 HD Price, value, construction. I also now have Hd 110 for my partner she loves it. Best of all weight for both easy to handle. Love your videos.
Would you say the 130 is noticebly more stable than the 110? I want the lightest and the most stable one and can't decide wether i should go for a 110 or 130 😅
The only thing I have had a problem with pelican was the router cables easy fix other than that it's been a grate kayak👍👍
Thx for the video Aliex!
Thanks victor
I've had the shearwater for 2 years now and I've beat the hell out of it and it's held up really well. My biggest issue, and this is no fault of vibe, is that it's really heavy and really damned big. Obviously this is great when your on the water because you have tons of space and stability, but storing this thing and dragging it to the water can be a huge pain. Even with a cart or landing gear. Again, not an issue if you can just back your truck up to where you want to launch or have the space, but if you don't, be prepared for some headaches.
That said, it's stable all day long on the water and has amazing storage options. I'm yet to go out and NOT have someone comment on how it looks. The pedal drive is nice but definitely takes up space. I've been hitting very shallow marshy backwaters so far this year for big channel cats and bowfin and this thing has allowed me to get into some great areas for them and pull in some absolute units. Vibe customer support has been really cool to work with too
Expect long wait times though for delivery. My x-drive system was ordered in December 2021 and arrived in late April 2022.
Good video and nice walk thrus
Thanks for the advice I’m trying to make a choice between the two lol
Always educational bro, good job!
When are you coming down ?? We need to do a head to head kayak flip catch clean and cook
What's up buddy...what's your opinion on the pelican catch 130?
Im working on my DIY Kayak.. Nice kayak man..
Could you compare a native slayer max 12.5 to the shearwater? I already own the shearwater but I'm thinking of switching
Awesome one, if it were for the looks, I will go for Shearwater, for performance of rudder, and simplicity Pelican
Yup 👍🏻
Very informative
I have never been on the shearwater but looking at it it doesn't look like it's as light as the as the pelican 130? And that's one of the key factors I love my pelican! And the fact that the company is so easy to deal with!
I had the Pelican Catch 110 and sold it to buy the Old Town PDL 106. Sooooo glad I made the switch because the Pelican Catch didn't have the reverse for the pedals. It was annoying fishing and having to lift the drive up and turn it just to pedal backwards. I sold it and bought the Old Town which has the nice drive on it.
Old town pdls are epic!
Pelican hydrive 110 vs hobie passport 10.5?
What stores can you get the Shearwater at? I had a pelican catch 100 and sold it and wanting to get something bigger.
Aliex, I know have both these kayaks. I like the Catch 130 but it is slow and catches the wind real easy. My Shearwater I have only been out on it two days (around 7Hrs total). I have to say that the Shearwater feels more stable with the seat in the high postion than the Pelican in the stock position. The Shearwater is fast and doesnt catch the wind as much. But with the Shearwater you are going to have a wetter ride due to its lower profile. I would defiantly recommend either one!
What is that metal board looking thing mounted on the front of the shearwater in front of the paddle sleeve/holder?
Good video... I have the Pelican Catch 130 in very good condition. Is the Hoo Doo pedal impulse fin drive compatible with the Pelican Catch 130 kayak & is it on par or better as a fin drive unit. It's about $250 cheaper than the Pelican Catch HD drive.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another awesome video🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hey Alex, question these to kayaks are different frame design which one will work going out 2 miles off shore????
2 miles out Shearwater will do better, easier to move on the water and I would have bixpy on the rudder
VIBE is my pick! The service is unmatched!
I've owned the Cubera and Shearwater and had bad experiences with both. Turned my back on vibe. Currently saving up for the Bonafide P127 when it drops!
P127 will be legit!
@@AliexFolgueira have you heard anything about the release date? I know they said fall but we haven't really heard anything else about it since icast
I can't find a pelican catch 130 for sale anywhere in Texas.
Aliex, on the bow of the SW125. What type of plate is that for a trolling motor
Yakgadget.com use coupon code aliexfishing saves 10% if you don’t see it listed reach out maybe they can add it
Have you had problems with the Pelican HYDRYVE pedal system breaking like I've seen on other reviewers' sites?
I haven’t encounter any myself
Well I owed the pelican catch 130, loved it but its a barge. So I just upgraded against your advise cause I know you hate the bigwater 132. I think it fit my needs, and I didn't want to pay 3,149 for an outback, but that's why there are so many options, and everyone needs are different.
Wheres a good spot to fish in largo Florida?
Id get the shearwater for the efficiency on the water. I want to get to my spot ASAP so itd be hard to say no to that. I did think about buying the shearwater but you can't get one right now. Only manufacturer i found currently making yaks still is Hoodoo Sports in Tx
Everything is sold out, incredible times we are living in ah ? What do you think about the hoodoos ?
@@AliexFolgueira well i havent recieved mine yet. It should be here in like 2 weeks. But man they look sweet, have a great balance of price and fearures and are doing some really cool things. Their impulse model has the ability to choose if you want a propeller drive or a fin drive. And they partnered with yak power and will install the whole system for you.
Can you add a hobie 180 drive to either of them?
It can work, you can get a drive well adapter for the Shearwater
You should compare the seastream angler 120 pd with the pelican since they are at the same price point.
Hopefully we get a 120 angler soon 😎
Vibe is $500 more dollars.
Cheaper and solid won me over. Heard about Pelican being the most stable too though, is that correct?
Probably compatible these two
hello aleiex i think whats the best on the ocean ? all kayaks are beased on lakes no manufacturers are basing on ocean kayaks. can u be involved on a real ocean kayak that can fish? feild tryed it and based on reviews we would all say no. we need a ocean kayak not a lake kayak
not just yr reviews but all reviews
Go check out Robert field, he uses a lightning strike kayak in some pretty bad conditions (while catching big fish, sailfish sometimes) but I’m pretty sure the shearwater can do the same, or similar.
Scuppers? The Pelican seems to only have 2 in the center and rear. The Vibe hasa full set. I looked up the Pelican and they say the drive pod is not water tight. So water can drain out there. But, that means water over the bow must traverse the boat to the cockpiut to drain. Could mean a wet day for the rider. The pelican has a lower overall capacity rating than the Vibe. The Vibe has 50 pounds more capacity. I read the customer reviews for the Pelican, most are centered on the drive. Even the new drive is mentioned as being faulty. I don't like the Vibe to start with. But, in a shoot out with the two I would take it over the Pelican.
Any of these drives go reverse?
No, but you can get the shearwater just the boat and buy a Hobie drive
@@AliexFolgueira oh ok. Will Hobie drive fit right in or do I also need to buy some type of adaptor to fit it with Shearwater?
Neither, I'd choose my Bonafide ss127 with trolling motor lol. Those are good Yaks, I'm just not a peddle guy.q
@Kao Yang I tried my buddies old town and while nice, I prefer the Bonafide. Both great Yaks, just like my SS127 a little better. I have bow mounted trolling motor with spot lock and GPS on my bonafide and I don't lose my center pod.
I'm leaning Vibe. Just looks better.
It does
Catch 130
Have you ever reviewed Brooklyn Kayak co?
Shearwater is a clear winner for me because you can pedal and have the Bixpy motor going at the same time on the rudder mount. You will go farther, catch more fish, feel less tired and enjoy being out on the water more.
Great points ! Now sw125 or Viking ?
@@AliexFolgueira With the Viking you don't get the comfortable seat or pedal drive. Viking however may be better for serious offshore conditions.
So much choice so no wonder you have so many Yaks!
I'd go shearwater
How would you outfit it ?
@@AliexFolgueira I'm not to fancy prolly just trolling rod holders and fish finder, then all the needed fishing stuff lol
I'd go with the Vibe, I have a catch 110, ready to move on from pelican, and honestly ready to move on from Hobie style drive to more of a propeller type drive..
Vibe should add a propel pod
do you think they are better, faster or do you just like the instant reverse?
What's wrong with the catch 110? About to buy one myself
@@thomasdegroof1004 it's slow, your not gonna be able to stand up, but it's decent starter, but for what they are asking for, you can get a better used kayak off marketplace. Lots of cvid buy regrets posted right now.
Both are too rich for me
I’m gonna do some vids on a cheap motorized yak
I would pick Shearwater over pelican all dayy
