Boonedox Landing gear is a MUST HAVE

To each his own...I think this thread proves that.

Each person including the originator has made good points.

But I can really relate to Choc's statement about the efficiency of his 12 foot paddle kayak. I have and will continue to catch more fish in my 12 foot Ultimate paddle kayak than my other two fishing kayaks. The reason is simple. It's the lightest in weight and the easiest for me to transport from my garage to my vehicle and at the launch.

Really large fishing kayaks border on being boats. And sometimes with an array of accessories we try to turn them into boats. At some point they cross the line to where a trailered Jon boat would be just as practical and even less costly. But again, to each his own. The important thing is that our kayaks give us access to waters large and and small, deep and shallow. They allow us to follow the fish exceedingly well. That's their real benefit, even if some are beasts on land.

I agree with your statement completely. Having a kayak is a personal choice that must cater to the person's ability and circumstance. There are kayakers who may be unable to lift of handle a larger kayak, or some kayakers may have storage issues with a heavier or larger kayak. Some may get a kayak to fit their body size and style of fishing. Some may not have the income or want to spend the amount of money that it would take too buy and outfit a larger kayak or add a larger electric motor and fish finder.

For me, my current outback fits my style of fishing. It is the maximum amount of weight that I would want to deal with at my current age with physical injuries. I can fish, troll and you know....crab out of it. I catch all that I need for food and fun. To a kayak is not about how many fish that I can catch and keep. it is about getting out on the water and enjoying nature. The exercise and catching food is a bonus.

For all the land fisherman, try out a kayak and see what freedom you will experience.

A yak is not a boat and has different pluses and minuses. It REALLY gets me when people think it is just a poor man’s boat. I have both and they each have their own purposes. Besides, my yaks cost more than my boat.

Love my boonedox. It is so easy to use and totally out of the way. So much easier than my scupper and sling carts. In fact, those were such a pain that I often carried my yak rather than use it. I finally dialed in lifting my 13’ slayer with boonedox on the roof.
Yeah, agree, a boat is a different animal and can’t be compared. After two boats, you couldn’t give me a boat because they are a PITA money pit. Ok maybe I’ll take a Hewes Redfisher if somebody wants to give it to me.

Boonedox Landing gear is a MUST HAVE

I am little spoiled when it comes to kayak cart. My first kayak(Bought used) came with Boonedox landing gear pre-installed. Not sure why he decided to put one on 10.5ft yak...lol I love my boonedox, but Wilderness system HD cart looks really nice too.
