WTB Wilderness Thresher - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sorry for late reply guys. Those were Thigh Straps for extra control in surf, not standard equipment. That 155 shown in pics above has all of my gear on it up at Outdoor Retailer this last week.

Flint is a new color that is replacing sand. It is a Tan grey and Black camo. Probably would be better suited for the Desert Camo name and the Desert should be Urban if I were naming them. Other than maybe the names, Shane did a great job on all new Confluence colors this year.

The seat on the Thresher is the same Phase 3 AirPro that we have on the current Tarpon line of boats. It is awesome.

Where are the side handles?
I cant imagine they built a yak without them??

They are a molded under grip on the boat as opposed to a standard Webbing handle or IM handle. Super grippy and easy to use plus they arnt in way while entering/exiting boat or paddling.

CJ can you post a picture of the handles please.

Guys it is rough having to WAIT for the new yak. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Bummer.

Front/Rear or the side grips?

I am sure I can source some for ya. My boat is still just a few weeks out.

CJ when I roll out of this thing, which I am sure to do at some time, I can get in from the rear, but can I grab that side handle to get leveraged to get back in?

Side grips please. Waiting, waiting, TOMORROW is SEPTEMBER 1st. Hope it ships Tuesday and arrives soon!!!

At least I can wait the week out in Gonzaga. CJ, would you go ahead and install the Dragonfly with battery please.
