My whaler’s been under a bit of a refit for a while now.....this little yak has gotten me by.  Hobie Revo 11, far from ideal but definitely better than my other paddle yaks.  
 

On a side note, bass fishing on the delta used to be pretty gentlemanly.  Over the past couple years, in both the yak and my 10’ Livingston skiff, I’ve witnessed some absolutely awful etiquette and behavior toward me while I’m in the smaller craft.

Dude right? Boaters, jet skiers, duck hunters  even the obvious bass fishermen just dont give a crap about us kayakers. I stick to my sloughs now, way too many close calls out on the main river/channel spots

What do you y’all think about Bonafide yaks?

I never used one, but they are extremely heavy. My local shop said the actual weight is right at 100lbs for the ss127.

I rock the 2020 native slayer 12.5. Big enough for my 6yo daughter to ride in the back. Width is ehh tho its 34.5 inches wide i believe. The titan series are alot wider . Still cast make gokd cast with swimbaits. Turning is a little wide (damn near 13ft long). Definitely not easy to lift on top of a car/suv. But i have a truck so i just slide it in the bed now
