Another great vid Loz, appreciate you taking the time to diligently go through all your setup is an open honest way that you are so great at. Awesome to see some weight off your drag to the beach even 2kg can make a big difference after 8-10hrs on the water! Grats on the new yak.
Very informative Laurie, thanks! I used to have the reload, on my return to NZ I opted for the 400 (still on the old style) mainly due to less weight to lug around.
Great vid thanks, I love seeing how people organise all the clutter… I’ve got a Raymarine element and it fits in my reload nicely coiled up (it is a tight fit however). Interesting what your say about the wind affecting the 400 less, thats quite a big deal eh?
That’s impressive making it fit, I turned the alarm down to a lower setting but the fluctuating voltage still sets it off, have to say they’re a nice unit to use 👍
Great vid and ideas, I have both the older 400 and reload - I’ve found 400 is more stable but a barge to paddle compared with the reload, and those handle straps on the original 400 are a shocker, I target kingis on livies and one issue I’ve had is how to land / handle really large kingis occasionally, it’s pretty dicey compared to snapper trying to drag these things onto the yak to dispatch - have considered outrigger tubes to add stability- any thoughts based on your experience - I’ve seen your vid landing a good king without to many problems?? Cheers Karl
Karl, hand in the mouth for Kings, they don’t bite. There’s a great example with Rex in one of my West Coast vids, putting a big king in the rear well. Interesting your comments on the old 400 v the reload. The new 400 is a different yak, big improvement.

Very nice to see the features of the new 400 and how you have customized it. Alas, we'll probably never see that in the USA.
There seems to be plenty of Reloads in the States, could just be a case of asking the distributor if you want a 400

Nga mihi Andy, we need to have a fish together this summer 👍

Thanks for the feedback, it would be interesting to see how you find the new version when you get to paddle one.
Awesome mate, was a bit torn between 400 and reload. And by the way congrats on cracking the 1k subscribers 👍👍
AAli are you back on a yak?
It was looking like the 4000 watch hours would be the tricky one but the Lure Masters vid sorted that one out 👍
@ i am seriously considering getting another one. Might have to borrow your old one for a bit 🙏. You deserve recognition mate. Well done.
Awesome Vid Loz, Love your Mahi!!
Cheers boet
Nice mate 🍻

Did you manage to coil it all into the cylinder?
Have you turned the voltage alarm down on yours?
It’s a great sounder but the alarm 😬
@ yeah I coiled it around the sides and then did a vertical coil in the centre. I haven’t turned off the voltage alarm, should I?
I actually have turned it off, i just checked👍

Yeah it’s pretty sweet alright👍do you know how to get the 3d scan window to show as full screen?

Cool vid where do you get those dry bags
I make them myself, if you’re after one message me on messenger or Instagram (potty_softbaiter)
I could make you an extended rudder if you need one Loz
