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 here we go and there she is the native slayer propel 10 as
you can see i've done all kinds of modifications to it so 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 is the saying still really like it i'd actually prefer to put
the transducer in the hole with some putty which i heard 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. the 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 the 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 with some plexiglass
and a few bolts you can create your own extended rudder and make sure your kayak actually takes
turns at the rate of what you wanted to so i like this guy 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 depth know if there's fish underneath you but
nothing super crazy so 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 of walmart
and with a little rigging you can put it on there it's never going to come off i don't take this
thing off i ride down the road it's flapping in the wind never a problem but a great way to
grab some additional storage for your yak number 12 we have the native watercraft
landing gear these guys this is pretty awesome that's how i get the boat from my
and there you go i can drag it along uh the ground so and then to kind of push it right
into the water prepare for some sticker shot from these bad boys because it's pretty expensive but
how else are you going to 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 so if you're looking into that i'll throw the video up in the cards uh diy boomstick i also
cross utilize this thing because i take it make other videos work on my great wolf lodge
for with my kids um i take this off the kayak and use it as kind of a big giant selfie stick
so it works well 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 in 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 3d seat risers highly recommend
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 so they're kind of pricey but man i don't know what i would
do without it my probably the phone would probably be at the bottom of the lake somewhere number six
is my all-day power instead of constantly changing out the batteries on your gopro simply by 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 batteries so it's always great to have extra power whether to charge your phone or keep your
gopros going out on the water so 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
uh 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 just sticks right here to the track mount with a couple screws
and man you're good to go highly recommend one of these for your yak 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 gonna rust and uh 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
um you could you guys you can see it's holding it kind of fans out the poles which i really like um
and so instead of all being up straight in the air i just like having i know it looks like a
giant peacock in the water i guess but man 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 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 gonna 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
and bell notification the like button and i will keep them coming alright guys see you later bye
