Goose vs Kayak Angler

My friend Chad, over at KayakBassFishing.com told me about this YouTube video and I have to share it!

Is that INSANE ??  A PFD not only helps you float in the water, it can help protect you from a Goose!  Luckily the Goose didn’t land on his head!!

Scotty - New Products coming soon!

Scotty recently came out with #427. You can see the #427 in action in an earlier post via a video that was sent to me by one of our customers in France. This product had it’s faults in that it didn’t swivel and made it very difficult to re-adjust the direction of your rod holder.
Well, Scotty has developed two new products that will correct this issue. These products should be available early March. We will have them in stock as soon as they come out.
If you recently purchased the #427 for the full price of $16.99, please contact us for a reduction in that price or an exchange for the #428. There might be a slight price increase and we will let you know when we get the products in stock.

Liquid Tite Fittings

If you are installing a Fishfinder, this product is for you!  It can be used for your thru-hull wires and can also be used on your battery box for either the fishfinder or a bait tank.  We sell the liquid tite fittings in three sizes - 3/8″, 1/2″ and 3/4″.

One of our customers sent in a review -
Paul Biediger, (Walled Lake, MI)

Just recieved and mounted my 3/4″ Liquid Tite Fitting in my Wilderness Tarpon 140 and it was very easy. Required a 1″ hole and and some tightening. I used it for my Hummingbird 190C fish finder and both the transducer cable and power cable fit perfectly! I highly recommend this product to anyone to keep their wires in place and the interior of their kayak dry. Thanks Hook 1 for having great products and selections.

A local kayak fishermen, John, just installed his fishfinder using the 1/2″ fitting and sent us some great step-by-step pictures -

He used the 1/2″ fitting for his Eagle fishfinder and found it was a tight fit for his wire to go through the fitting.  He used some silicone to help it through.

John said he thinks these fittings are probably better suited for a single wire or cable install.  The jaws want to squeeze symmetrically rather than in an oblong fashion.  He added some GOOP for security sake.

Scotty Double Gear Adapter

We just started carrying Scotty’s Double Gear Adapter #427. When you are using the Adjustable Rod Holder Extender #459, this #427 allows your rod holder to angle in a different direction than just forward.

But … the #427 doesn’t swivel … until now ….

Our Hook 1 Customer Dominique from France sent me this video with his changes to the #427. BUT … THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND MAKE THIS PRODUCT NON-RETURNABLE. I just wanted to show you what his innovation was -
