Like u/NerdyTurtle20 mentioned, the Hobie 180 drive does work with the Vibe pod system and I have used it before borrowing from a buddy while mine was all locked up.
#Vibe shearwater 125 review pro
Ownership delivers a whole new level of pro angling performance and powerhouse personalization written in limitless tight fishing lines and uncompromised confidence with every cast. Vibe sent me a replacement pod that had since been redesigned as well as replacement flippers because I had damaged one while trying to get them separated, also in less than 5 days.Īll of that being said, I can't recommend the kayak enough and their customer service has been nothing short of amazing. The Shearwater 125 has been engineered from the water up to be the world’s most versatile and customizable fishing kayak. After some back and forth with Vibe on ideas, I cut the pod in half to remove the pedal system. In this video, we get a review of the Vibe Shearwater 125 versatile fishing kayak.What is unique about this kayak is that it can be powered by paddle, pedal. I luckily I had just started, so paddling back with the pod out wasn't too much of a problem, if I was on a lake I probably would have kept fishing but on a river with moving water it didn't seem safe with the huge hole out of the center of yak.
The Vibe Shearwater 125 is another great option in that same regard as it features a smooth and speedy pedal system and can be purchased for well under 2,000 in many cases. Pedal drive kayaks have exploded in the recent years. Vibe had a replacement to me in less than 5 days.Ģ) The pedals partially slipped through the pod and I could not remove them, day on the water ruined. In this article, we review pedal kayak models that we think will dominate the market in 2021. Day on the water not ruined, but I did have to countersteer with the rudder a bit. The most complete and customizable fishing kayak ever, the Shearwater 125’s speed and stability is only exceeded by its limitless options for angling customization and its incomparable choices of pedal, power or paddle acceleration, thanks to the Vibe X-Drive pedal system, Bixpy Jet motor, Vibe Evolve paddle, or the unique combo of all three. I have had two issues with the x-drive system, both having to do with the actual pod the pedals slide into.ġ) The latch that holds the pedals in place broke on the right side, causing the pedals to lean left. The Vibe Shearwater 125 has so many amazing features that it is hard to test all of them in one video So there will be plenty of Shearwater 125 videos comin. Fully loaded, this figure jumps to 109 lbs, so you’re almost certainly going to need a buddy to help you get it to and from the water. I've had the SW125 for a couple seasons now, and I love it! Few things that come to mind. The Vibe Shearwater 125 has a starting hull weight of 82 lbs, so it’s already on the heavy side, especially when compared to this review of the most lightweight fishing kayaks on the market.
