  • PFD for Kayak Fishing

    Hi All,

    Does anyone have suggestions for a reasonably priced PFD for Kayak Fishing? Is there anything I need to look for?

    Thanks,
    Eric

      Thanks. Do you know if Bass Pro, Dicks or any retail stores carry them? I would like to try it on for size before buying.

      Thanks!

            Another for the Chinook... Just go by their sizing chart you'll be fine.

              I put together a short video showing 3 different PFDs that I have. I'd recommend all of them depending on your needs. Hopefully this helps.

                +1 for the Chinook. Very comfortable and has all of the storage space you could ever want.

                      +1 for the Chinook

                      BUT - The sales right now are to get rid of the 2018 version of the PFD because they improved the design for 2019. Do some research and if the differences aren't enough to make you pay for the 2019 version that sale could be a steal of a deal...

                      Here's a basic comparison from Marvin on the Mobbin' Outdoors YouTube Channel:
