hey guys welcome back to wendell fishing daryn here and today i'm going to share with you 17
epic fishing kayak modifications for 2021. i'm going to walk through and share with you
my least favorite to my favorite starting with number 17. this switchblade this guy right here
holding my transducer the problem was the saying still really like it i'd actually prefer to put um
the transducer in the hole with some putty which i heard it works pretty well and so as you can see
here it's already cracked so not a big fan even though i didn't modify it i would not buy this
again all right moving on number 16. it's a diy keel guard now i actually really really like this
um modification the thing is kind of boring it's on the bottom of my kayak i just did a
video on this it's a kydex kilguard one's right here there's also one in the back protect your
investment i'll throw that video up in the cards you can check it out yourself all right number 15
is the extended rudder this guy right here you can buy a boondocks if you want to they're expensive
80 bucks um with some plexiglass and uh a few bolts you can create your own extended rudder
all right moving on number 14. the garmin striker 4 that fish finder right there uh nothing too
crazy about this thing it's an entry level fish finder it's going to let you know the depth know
if there's fish underneath you but nothing super crazy so uh i like it i'll probably upgrade here
in the future but it's number 14. all right number 13. the behind the seat backpack this
is pretty simple um they actually make backpacks for the native slayer but they're pretty expensive
so literally just grab this guy for 15 at walmart and with a little rigging you can put it on there
it's never going to come off number 12 we have the native watercraft landing gear these guys
this is pretty awesome prepare for some sticker shot from these bad boys because it's pretty
expensive but how else you gonna get this thing to the water without dragging along the concrete so
highly recommend not leaving home without those all right number 11 is the diy boomstick i got
a video on this how to create this um you can it goes up and down the camera up there you can put
it angles and it's pretty sweet to get that over the shorter shot um if you're someone has your own
channel all right you guys are ready for this one number 10 i believe i'm losing count is i
installed these i didn't do a video on it but man boom led lights i ran off a battery in the hall
i had them on the inside both sides now i did take this out in the middle of night once and it's a
little overwhelming the lights on the inside so if you're gonna do a diy mod on your yak and put some
leds i would highly recommend leaving them just on the outside of your yak or putting at a double
switch one that controls the lights on the outside of your yak and another switch that controls the
lights on the inside of your yak number nine we have the 3d printed seat risers getting this thing
up a few more inches and because of that i have that underneath which i'll share in just a moment
but these are pretty cheap i got them for like 20 25 bucks off a 3d yak online uh and they're great
um so i i'm up and down on my kayak all the time and so these are really nice because it kind of
limits that drop because i'm always dropping back in the seat so it's not too incredibly exciting
it's the steering upgrade a lot of times these native slayers come with metal as their cables
and as you can imagine they just rust and they pop so this is a dyneema cord which i highly
recommend have had any issues i've had it out for a couple years all the links everything i have
here you can go down in the description below and check those out and purchase those if you want to
number seven we have on top of the propelled drive i have a ram phone mount this is awesome my phone
fits perfectly in here just highly recommend this i always have my phone here which is nice
you can give it commands take photos on this you can actually also put over your track mount with
a t-mount adapter and i have a video of that also my kayak fishing modification number six
is my all-day power instead of constantly changing out the batteries on your gopro
simply buy a power bank and a long extension type c and i run this all the way up my boom and
i never have to change out battery db power is my favorite this thing's pretty awesome we are to the
final five number five is my versastack under the seat storage um really easy pulls out has
all the stuff that i need to be changing two of them here and man as you can see just with a
little bit of real estate on a kayak having some under seat storage is highly recommend but in
order to get that under seat storage you're gonna need to buy some seat risers because that won't
fit under there without these all right number four we have the tool holder this is a native
watercraft tool holder guys my lighters in here i have my scissors i got my pliers you can put fish
grips you can put anything you need in here at one time i used to always stick my phone in here
so these are awesome my number three is really simple it's just a pedal upgrade they come with
the the propel drive and they're expensive it's like 800 bucks for the same you try to buy it new
or more nowadays and they come with plastic pedals come on so i upgraded these for like
these like 15 20 bucks um they're mountain bike pedals and aluminum so they're not going to rust
and never never slipped off or anything yet so these are awesome all right number two i love
these things the yak attack omega pro rod holders on both sides they do a lot of trolling another
great place to put your your fishing pole waiting for changing out line um they're fully adjustable
they come off they go on easily you can kind of put them at a variety of different angles guys
this is awesome i did a video on this as well if you want to learn more about it check it out all
right and number one number one is this guy the diy kayak crate with six rod holders and a top
uh i built this one of my favorite videos really easy really inexpensive to build one of these also
what i love about this is you kind of create your own netting here so you can throw your power into
there i got my scale under there you can put your hat under there and it's not going to blow away
because you got this webbing so really inexpensive to create i'm going to throw the video up in the
cards guys and guys there you have it if you love kayak fishing love this sort of thing hit that sub
