Review: Bassyaks The "Time Machine"

Most of the contestants in the Kayak Fishing ClassicS spend a lot of time on the water pre-fishing the areas of our next tournaments. Scouting an area is a key to success in any fishing tournament and it can take up a lot of time. In a kayak, just getting there can do the same. “Bassyaks” has the answer!

Diablo New Product Testing

We went out to test out some new accessories on the Colorado River last week, and couldn’t have had a better day on the water. Megan, Tyler and myself headed out with a Diablo Paddlesports Adios’ and Chupacabra, to Webberville for an afternoon float n’ fish. One Adios was rigged with a Torqeedo trolling motor, while the other was sporting a prototype skeg, and the Chupacabra was also sporting a skeg. We tried out all three and were very impressed with how all performed.

Diablo Paddlesports

After the great response to our first article about the SUP-YAK, we decided to check in on the Texas duo of Thomas Flemons and Jay Korbell to see how things were progressing and ask them a few questions.

YakAngler (YA) When did you first start work on the Sup-Yak?

Thomas Flemons of Diablo Paddle sports (DP) Standing up to paddle a kayak has been something that we have always done to scout rapids and stretch our legs, problem always was, how long can we stay up. When I saw the emergence of the Stand up paddleboard, and people starting to fish off them, I realized that there was a sweet spot in there for a multi purpose platform that you could comfortably sit or stand in to paddle or even pole. Like a mini-skiff for all waters, Huck Finn style.
