In this video, the presenter shares their opinions on certain types of kayak fishing gear that they believe should be avoided. They express skepticism about relying on reviews, as many are influenced by companies offering free products in exchange for positive feedback. The first piece of gear they roast is the Backwater Assault hand paddle, which they find unnecessary and a waste of energy and plastic. They also critique fish finders under $120, highlighting issues like waterproofing, accuracy, and limited functionality. The presenter also advises against purchasing cheap kayaks under $300, citing poor comfort, design, and durability as reasons to avoid them. Another piece of gear they deem worthless is the anchor brush gripper, expressing their belief that tying off the kayak manually is a more efficient alternative. Lastly, they question the necessity of rescue steps, suggesting a DIY solution using a piece of rope and PVC for a fraction of the price. The presenter also provides recommendations for better paddle options, advocating for fiberglass blades with a fiberglass shaft. Overall, they share their personal experiences and opinions on these items, encouraging viewers to consider their own needs and preferences.
