![]() This makes the Yellowfin 120 an excellent choice for those days when you want to go off exploring and covering a bit of distance. Hold a gun to my head and I'd probably say the Vibe feels just a bit more "solid" and well built, but there's not a whole lot of difference there.With an efficient hull design and reassuring stability, the Yellowfin 120 will take you on your next adventure in style and comfort! A sharp bow design cuts well through choppy waters typically found on coastal waters and open waters, and with a slightly pronounced keel down the length of the kayak, tracking in a straight line is made easier. The carrying handles on the Vibe are actually screw in handles where as the Pescador has rotomolded handles, which aren't as comfortable. One thing the Vibe does much better is the handles. You can check out my previous posts for a few images of each of them. All in all though they're both solid boats (at least in my eyes) for the price. There isn't anything I've found yet that I don't like about it outside of the tracking isn't great in faster moving water, that being said I'm not the greatest of paddler either. I do like the placement of the ones on the yellowfin quite a bit more. The Pescador's rod holders aren't great as they're fairly large so your poles will probably move around a bit, but you could mod it with something to make them a bit smaller. ![]() Taking either of those down 3 flights of stairs is NOT going to be fun in weight and in length trying to turn corners.Īs far as stability, well you're not going to be standing in either of them.at least not without a lot of balance. It didn't come with a paddle which was a bit disappointing as I do like the Vibe paddles quite a bit. The yellowfin did come with the scupper plugs looks like 6 in the sitting area and 2 behind in the open storage. We go out camping from our kayaks so that definitely weighed in on my decision. As I mentioned the Yellowfin is going to have my dry storage for you if that's important. The elevated seat is worth it hands down. The Pescador had a on hull seat that was just a wee bit too much on my back. That being said the seat was the main seller for me. I haven't put in a full "season" with the yellowfin yet, only been out on it twice I think. The Pescador Pro cuts out the front storage area in the hull, so that's something to consider if it's important to you.įeel free to ask me any questions you've got :) Tight lines! I was able to fit a sleeping bag, hammock and all supplies for a weekends worth of fishing in the yellowfin. Storage is better on the yellowfin if you're going on long journeys. I can't speak for the transducer mounting as I don't have a fish finder but everything else adds up fairly well, I do like the rod holders on the yellowfin quite a bit more. I highly disagree with the poster above calling them "expensive cheap kayaks" but everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion. I don't think you go wrong with either boat. Having a 10ft was important to me as well as the creeks we fish are super shallow and we have to drag quite a bit so the lighter the better and shorter the better. I learned my lesson and now leash everything down. Neither of them track super great, and in moving water they can be a bit tipsy and the maneuverability honestly aint that great, but if you're in calm water they're perfectly fine. That being said I love the Pescador but the main reason for the "upgrade" to the Yellowfin was the seat, to me the seat is worth it alone. ![]() Wow finally a question I can help with! I've got both, well I don't have the pro 10 but do have a Pescador 10.I use em for creek fishing, so can't speak to lakes.
