Alan Howell Profish Reload Review

Viking Kayaks Profish Reload Review by Alan Howell from North Carolina USA
To get straight to the point, the Viking Profish Reload is simply the finest inshore/offshore fishing kayak available. Ask anyone who owns one. There isn't even a close second when you do the math. More importantly, its also an amazingly safe offshore fishing kayak. I don't make either of these statements lightly. I've been paddling for almost four decades and have researched and tried well over a dozen fishing kayaks in different brands and… more

Motors on kayaks aren’t anything new but what’s been holding people back is short battery life and that they can be difficult to mount, well no longer thanks to this clever system that is revolutionizing the concept of kayak fishing.

NEW RailBlaza StarPort HD mount : A more stable mounting option for camera

RailBlaza have introduced another product that’s giving me even greater scope to achieve what I want when filming from my kayaks. One of the difficulties with rotationally molded product is the flex inherent with polyethylene. While often not an issue when fitting a wide variety of other accessories this can be a problem when mounting cameras.

The new StarPort HD has a bigger footprint and doubles the number of fastenings to four. This results in a much more stable mount even when not using a backing plate.… more
