Its been a few years since I walked thru how I rig my kayak. This video is focused on my Old Town Salty 120 PDL and how I rig it for trolling for Kokanee, trout, salmon, and Walleye.

You have a lot of stuff on there. I’m amazed at how you pedal,hook a fish and net it all at the same time. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍🎣
It would be cool to see all your different tackle box set ups!
That’s an awesome setup!
Thanks for the video and the discount code. Every penny counts nowadays, setting kayaks up to troll is pricey but, it is a boat right, everything marine is expensive.
Nice
Wow thanks for sharing I hope to get into a kayak in the next few years.
clean and simple.....nice!
I wish I could have one of those mounts on my inflatable kayak.
Because of you I just bought the salty pdl 120 and I like it. Now for my question does the Berley Pro Side Bro interfere with you peddling. I'm 6' with a size 10 shoe
No not at all. I wear a size 10 shoe as well
I'm getting ready to spend the money to setup like, you the "Pro" does! Best to use all your equipment in your setup! Also, I am looking at purchasing an oldtown PDL Kayak and wondering which model you recommend?
I fish the Old Town Salty 120 PDL but which is best for you will depend on a variety of factors.
I am 72 years old and selling my old ski boat. Hoping to purchase a Native Titan X next Spring. I know it's huge, but planning to trailer it. My plan is to initially pedal and hope to do some kokanee fishing. Wallowa Lake, and Dworshak initially. The question for you is if I were to get a motor would you recommend a stern mount NK180 Pro type or bow-mounted motor for trolling kokanee and trout fishing?
A bow mount is going to give you a lot more options as there are several models that GPS enabled which will give you the ability to control you trolling speed precisely and also to spot lock if you want to try Kokanee jigging. However, those motors are more expensive, time consuming to install, and harder to deploy and stow. Stern mount motors are cheaper and easier to raise and lower and can get you close enough to the troll speed to be effective.
Looks great! Have you tried the Yak Attack battery box/finder mount? Keeps from having to undo the transducer and power cables. Attaches to Gear Track as well. :D
I don't like cluttering up the kayak rails with that. Having it wired inside keeps everything out of the way and nice and dry
What is your opinion of power in current/wind between prop and mirage-type pedal drives? I still haven't bought my kayak, life came up and had expenses I wasn't planning on. Still intend to get the Lightning Nomad and rig it over the Winter. Not what I wanted but Murphy can be a real jerk. lol
One thing I definitely like about the Lightning Vs Old Town is a LARGE dedicated transducer pocket in the hull.
It has a lot more to do with hull shape than your pedal drive I think.
@@spiltmilt Fair enough
since you use snap weights with kokanees, what do you use the downrigger for? It’s the one thing I’m not sure I need.
It’s useful at times for deep water Kokanee
Any chance to post for me all the equipment you use here and model, name brand, etc.?
It’s all in the description
How tall are you? You mention that the downrigger set up works for someone of your height. Just curious if it would work for me at 6'1. Thanks
5’7” I suspect you are too tall for installation behind u
Did you have to drill that v lock base plate? Or does it come with 4 plate holes?
I had to drill it
@@spiltmilt Regular drill, or did you use a drill press?
Do you ever feel the need to raise the seat?
No
