this makes me so happy to see the light weight and the classic out fishing, everyone i talk to says this is impossible for some unknown reason, awesome fishing rig!
I just did a Humminbird helix 5 di/gps on my '19 spark trixx and can't wait to try it out once warmer. That a 2 or 3 up? Trying to rig up storage in back.
that might be a little difficult to carry the gear. I suppose anything is possible. I would choose a fish pro but if you only had enough for a spark then why not
What's the other guy on? An old polaris? I'm actually watching the video cause I wanted to see how a smaller craft similar to the older skis handled fishing from it
@We Try Motorsports so the sl750 I'm looking at would be a bit less stable than that slt 780, since it's 1 foot shorter in length and has a 2 inch narrower beam. How would you compare the stability to a kayak? I've kayaked before and hated it way too tippy, I've been in a cabelas pond prowler boat and it wasn't bad and has nearly the same dimensions in terms of length and width as the older polaris
@@Catboy-hr2qp it's less tippy than a kayak but it has a higher center of gravity so the higher you are on the vessel it starts to become unstable. I never really felt unstable on the spark, but I have tipped over one time. only because I was being an idiot lol. anyways best way to find out is to try really.
@We Try Motorsports yep I've never jet skiid or fished from one before but hopefully this will give me a chance to try it without dumping a ton of money
Looks great! Just got a 2021 Trixx and looking to build a setup like this. Are those eyelets on the back of the Trixx just threaded in or did you have to put a nut on it? Also did you strap the rack to the tow hook as well? I remember your other video you weren't sure what to do there. Or is it strapped at the back of the Sea Doo.
Hey thanks for watching! I guess I can highlight it in another video but I used stainless everything - I did use a nut on the eye bolts. This was also with washers up top, a smaller washer with a lock washer down below, then the nut. Where the step is supposed to be, I threaded in a small eye bolt (on the right). Then I used turnbuckles to hold everything to the ski. A total of 3 turnbuckles. It's very solid... Aside from one time I launched myself off a large wave, landed sideways and my rig fell off haha.
I use the already pre drilled holes on the back of the ski on each side. I sandwiched the hull with stainless hardware. The eyebolt on the bottom, I threaded in a stainless eyebolt that matched the step area.
@@rosariofalzone5008 mint. the turnbuckles are designed to loosen and tighten as needed. no damage to the hull and no problems so far. The only issue I had is when I fell off the ski and the system dropped but I did not lose anything. it's in one of my videos lol

not that it is impossible, but it is SUPER unstable. It will be nothing but suffering. I have 2022 Trixx, trust me I know :D
I found on my fish pro that if I stood up and leaned forward I could go 9mph with the nose not rising. Food for thought.
Love the vid!
I'd build myself one if I had a one, great vid as always though!
Well done! Trixx Ahoy!
I love this especially the older ski with the fishing rig on it might buy a old ski and throw some rods on it
Can I get a vid of his Jetski setup

I recognize that ramp in Mitford. I have a trixx also
Never seen a Sea Lion running so well 😂
Put LOCKWIRE on your turnbuckles. I did the exact same thing on my spark and they will vibrate loose if you aren’t paying close attention.
wow dude 11,504 veiws with 103 likes and 0 LIKES?! WOW!! nice content
great video, so the old polaris got the sea doo linq set up on the back too?
these are actually not linq systems, they're home made! they connect with turnbuckles
@@WeTryMotorsports thank you
@@Rkhoi check out the how-to and make videos of it. you'll enjoy it!
How many miles can you go with full tank?
What is the weight in kg of that anchor and does it work
Looks cool! If you fell off, how would you climb back on?
I did actually in a later video lol, if you're in shape it works but if you're not... don't fall off lol!
@@WeTryMotorsports link to that video? I'd like to see.
@@jetguyfly1 go to my channel go to videos it's probably only about 15 of them down

Think it would be possible to scuba dive from a spark or would it be better on a bigger jetski
that might be a little difficult to carry the gear. I suppose anything is possible. I would choose a fish pro but if you only had enough for a spark then why not
Is this in ct

1996 Polaris SLT780. It was a 3 seater. It was a bit more stable than the spark but less degree of tipping point.

@@Catboy-hr2qp giddy up!! give it a try and let us know how it goes
How does the trim system do with that fishing rig?
Great lol
@@WeTryMotorsports building one this weekend

Is your spark 2up or 3up
2up
How did you put the eye bolts on ?
I use the already pre drilled holes on the back of the ski on each side. I sandwiched the hull with stainless hardware. The eyebolt on the bottom, I threaded in a stainless eyebolt that matched the step area.
@@WeTryMotorsports hows are they holding up ?
