This week the team at our Queensland Sunshine Coast showroom finished rigging the Profish Reload & Profish GT ready for Paul Worsteling to use on the very popular IFISH TV Show. In this blog we will give you a sneak preview of the kayaks and ow we have rigged them for Paul to enjoy some of the best kayak fishing experiences in the Viking Kayaks
Profish Reload -Premium Fishing Kayak : Fast, stable, and easy to manage on and off the water, this is the kayak of choice for anglers seeking touring endurance combined with the stability to land record class fish!
Profish GT - Compact Fishing Kayak :Compact, easily managed and incredibly manoeuvrable, this is our new "4WD" fishing kayak. The Profish GT is brilliantly stable and will appeal to salt and fresh water anglers looking for a dry ride.
Viking Tackle Pod
First step with both of these kayaks is to fit out the Tackle Pods with Lowrance sounders, we have installed the Elite 4x Chirp & Elite 5HDI Sounder and Chart plotter
Load & Go with the Tackle Pod™ *The Tackle Pod™ system offers a worldwide first: a fully integrated and removable sounder, battery, and transducer setup combined with a large tackle storage space. It’s now quick and easy to remove or reload your valuable sounder, transducer, and tackle - the ultimate in convenience.
Lowrance Elite 5 HDI CHIRP Combo w/card
Lowrance Elite 4X CHIRP Colour Sounder
This is the most amazingly comfortable kayak seat! Good supportive, padded high back with a well padded seat. Plenty of adjustments so you can make it fit exactly to your liking. Extra padding for those long hours of fishing we have added our custom made Seat Cusion. Being closed-cell foam, the cushions won’t take on water and get heavy, and are brilliantly easy to keep clean.
Running Rig (Anchor Trolley) :
Adjustable Multi Fit Kayak Running Rig, made with Stainless Steel fittings and using Spectra Cord (a non-stretch cord). A Running Rig is used in conjunction with an anchor or Drift Chute (Drogue) and can be set off the front or rear of the kayak simply by pulling the cord through the pulleys.
Now with 'Toe Tab' foot controls for superior control. The 'Angler' blade works fantastic, plus there is no requirement for an up haul - super convenient. The Profish rudder system will make the kayak much easier to manage in windy conditions and currents.
We know Paul has some great gear and the best way to ensure its safe is with an affordable high quality leash. Designed to attach your rod securely to your kayak. The extra length makes casting lures and baits easy. Spectra Cord end loops around the rod and the s/s clip attaches to the grab-line or saddle on the kayak.
RAILBLAZA goodies:
The team at RAILBLAZA delivered some goodies to make sure Paul has everything a kayak angler would need for a succesful day on the water. Mounted to the kayaks we have StarPort & StarPort HD mounts ready to take any of the great accessories in the range from RAILBLAZA. The C-Tug Kayak & Canoe Trolley will ensure getting the kayak to the water is effortless.
RAILBLAZA Rod Holder II : Robust, versatile, and value for money, it will hold your rod, you choose which position.
Flush Mount StarPorts: The RAILBLAZA StarPort is a unique and versatile multifunctional mount, which is used in a huge number of applications and allows users to fit and swap out our full range of RAILBLAZA accessories.
Camera Booms and Mounts : RAILBLAZA has a comprehensive range of photography mounting accessories to help you achieve that perfect shot from any angle. We have put in Pauls kit the Camera Boom 600, 150 and the Camera Mount Kit
