hey everybody welcome back to wendell fishing darren here uh i'm feeling great i've been sick
the last few days and i'm excited out of all of my fishing kayak modifications i'm gonna show you my
top five and this channel's for all things fishing and i especially love kayak fishing if you love it
too please hit that sub and bell notification and i'll continue to keep content like this
coming your way let's hop into the top five kayak mods on my yak and i'm going to tell you
why they are my favorite if you happen to like them too all the links to everything that i'm
showing you is in the description below and these mods are my favorite for one of two reasons either
they make my life easier out in the water or they help me catch more fish mod number five
3d printed seat risers and under seat storage i kind of slid in two and the one there but
i have a hard time fishing when i'm sitting down i do it however i'd rather find my spot and stand
up and fish and i have better accuracy with my casting and skipping and i just find it to be
more comfortable because i'm up and down all day long i'm constantly falling back into my seat
it's pretty long drop and so i invested in some seat risers it makes it easier to get up and down
i also like being higher up in my yak uh you would think that would make you feel like you're going
to tip it over however it does not the added bonus of raising your seat inches higher is now you have
more storage and for anyone who kayak fishes there's not a lot of real estate on these kayaks
and so every bit matters i simply bought this bad boy and it's turnkey placed it under your
seat and now you have all your lures your hooks your weights your scents your leaders i even
fit my scale in here and if you're like yes please i'll throw that link down in the description below
all right mod number two is these green running lights man i love these things i'm usually out in
the water early in the morning i'm usually pulling up and it's still pitch black i flicked this bad
boy on and now i can see everything including the back of my car as i'm taking everything out of it
put it in my kayak i run two batteries one for my lights and the other to my fish finder but this
isn't the reason i installed these uh this is just a bonus the reason i installed green lights i've
had some people write comments ask me why i didn't put red lights which indicates the vessel's port
side or left side or green lights indicating the starboard side well the reason is because
i was interested in attracting fish green light become my favorite color and many other anglers
out there use it because it doesn't provide a lot of glare and it penetrates darker water better
which allows you to see fish much better and guess what follows all those bait fish to light or my
kayak the game fish and it's a blast watching bass slam the bait fish right next to your boat
early in the morning when the sun is coming up i run these lights to a 12 volt battery and connect
them with a female slide connect or spade connect you also need a toggle switch i'll tell you what
in my description below i'll put all what you will need um to create these running lights i
have them both for the inside and outside all right my number three mod is the phone holder
mine's attached to my propel drive which is nice because it's right front and center however i
created a video on uh all the other things you'll need to attach the rig to your track mount as well
uh here's why i'm huge fan of the phone owner especially having it front and center it's just
easy to respond to people and pick up the phone uh i used to have it in my pocket and i just knew it
was just a matter of time before i fumbled this to the bottom of the leg also it's a pain to have to
take it out of your pocket to take a photo every time you catch a lunker also my hands by that time
are either wet or slimy uh having this holder it's perfect because you don't need to touch the phone
if you have an iphone series available from your lock screen you use these voice commands take
a picture or take a photo and siri will open up the camera app and then you just command it take
a square picture take a panoramic picture take a video take a slow-mo video basically any mode for
photos and videos will work except for portrait mode i'm not sure why just doesn't work all right
my second favorite mod is the kayak crate with rod holders man these things are awesome you can
buy them new they're expensive 160 170 and don't get me wrong they're probably really nice but you
can make one of these your very own for under thirty five dollars here's the reasons i love
it storage i mean there's a ton of storage in here you get down in here i have all my lures my tools
horn you can put your jackets in here you can flip this tighten it up it's got bungees under here so
if you've done your hat does your sunglasses uh i got keys sometimes i can put in my backpack
or simply take the carabiners put them on here the bungee uh anything can go under the bungees
here so you don't have to turn around and open this up all the time second are the rod holders
i have six of them i could figure out how to put more on it i would i just love running a variety
of different rods i have them fanned out as you can see here they're not all straight up and down
which sometimes i get lucky because sometimes i'll hit a bridge that because they're fanned
out i can get under it without having taken all my rods out i also like it because uh in the design
you can see these bungees on each one of these rod holders so once you put your rod in here you
can turn around and actually secure them in so for some reason you were to tip over your kayak
you don't have to worry about losing all of your rods to the bottom of the length also anything you
have in here under the bungees is going to stay and anything you have inside your kayak crate is
going to stay also because part of the design is having a little lock here so if you flip your yak
everything attached to this kayak you're not going to lose all right and my number one
favorite kayak mod this guy i've been fishing for a full year before i made this investment and i
wish i would have made it sooner the yak attack promega rod holder these things are awesome these
are the rod holders i use to troll with i've never been a trolling fisherman but man when the bite
dies out and i'm just going insane they need to land the fish i turn around into my kayak crate
and pull out the big guns they're fairly easy just to attach you just stick it on what angle you want
push that little latch forward they're not coming off tie on a crank bait
drink some coffee take a phone call watch the latest youtube video and just wait for
the end of that tip to bend over and boom you either cut yourself a bass or a crappie links
