misfish Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) JP . Nice to see ya. Ditch creek fishing. LMAO, That was funny. When will they come out with a float reel? Edited July 11, 2018 by misfish
PUMP KNOWS Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Posted July 11, 2018 Thanks, I was having a hard time with the links. Before they would just pop up but they weren't doing that for me today
misfish Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 No worries. Always willing to help a brother out pump.
kickingfrog Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 I thought maybe I could swing something and go, but my contact is in Vegas on vacation.
AKRISONER Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 Zoom's TRD Craw is by far the best thing I have seen so far. The only company making realistic craws at this point was OSP and they were charging $20 + a pack.
mamona Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah, Pelican is probably the cheapest pedal drive. I love Hobie's Guardian Shield
Snidley Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) They lifted the Hobie drive almost unchanged since patent protection is done. Overall it's probably a much cheaper option since Pelican is made here and Hobie is made stateside. The price of the Hobie's has reached ridiculous levels. The Hobies are also heavy making it a pain to hoist them up on to your cartop. This one is 85lbs so it's reletively easy to get them up. The only problem I see is that they look cheap and that somtimes indicates that they are poorly made. I expect to see them at Sail soon. I read it's $1495 USD which is cheap compared to the Hobie and other like driven kayaks. It will be interesting to know if they copied the old Mirage Drive with bushings or the new Mirage drive that uses berrings Edited July 13, 2018 by Snidley
misfish Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 I have a question. Can one buy the pedal drive separate? I'm sure I could made a bracket on my toon to set one up. That would be cool.

Old Ironmaker Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 I want it all. When I win the big Lotto I will get you that barge Brian. I promise and a promise from me is a signed contract. I'll get you other guys those lures.
woodenboater Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 If the Shimano DC really works, imma gonna drop some coin and get one. Not that I don't love picking at nests lol

Maybe they are caught up in today's world. Make it simple stupid. 1
woodenboater Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 yup. learning how to throw with a baitcaster is fundamental but that doesn't mean we can't adapt or use newer tech. I'm happy to see a company that's doing more than just keeping on, keeping on

woodenboater Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 with my luck, not much. but it would make for a more efficient lure washer lolol

BillM Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 Shimano has been making 'DC' reels for a long time. This one is just affordable

There are lots of pedal style kayaks coming out in iCast. It is good to have some competition. Hobie really is over priced.
