WTT MTB for a kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jtw0524 · 06-09-2016, 08:44 PM

Well I know its a long shot but I am looking to trade my mountain bike for a kayak. It is an Intense Carbine 29C and is the pro build with many extras. Bike is a 2016 model and may have 50 miles total on it. It retails for 6900 and has well over 1000 more into it. The reason I'm willing to trade is I crashed pretty good and broke my arm and with a new baby at home my wife is not really happy with me. Kayak fishing is something I have been wanting to get into and and figured maybe this is my chance and well I probably won't break my arm doing this. What I am looking for is a complete set up preferably a hobie pro angler. Let me know what you have if interested. I have a ton of photos and can send you anything would like.

Sweet bike.. Same thing happened to me, but I just slowed down on the bike and spend more time on the water.. Either you fall down a hill or drown.. Risk are risk..

Damn, I wish I had a pro angler sitting around right now.

Sick whip and GLWT!

Something tells me your wife won't be 100% happy with you spending every free minute pedaling a hobie around, cleaning rockfish in the kitchen, and splicing spectra loops for your jigs when you're supposed to be changing junior's diapers

Lol jkjk you;re prolly a model dad and I don't mean to troll....but srsly fishing will dominate your LIFE bro.

What I would recommend if you cannot find a trader here, is to craigslist it. If you can sell for half of what you paid for it you will get yourself I nice hobie rigged up ready to rock!
I traded racing dirt bikes for fishing and although I miss it ALOT, fishing can be just as fun at times. And a little safer than 100mph in the dirt on two wheels.

See ya OTW
