PA and Revo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yesterday was my first day on the PA, I recently upgraded from the revo. For all the reasons previously stated, I LIKEY! You really do feel like you are the captain of a battleship. One of the best parts is having the dry love seat.

Another thing I like about it is the angle of the seat to the peddles. On my revo after peddling long distances my legs would start to get a little tingly. I'm not sure if its because of the angle or the fact that I got up and stretched yesterday. It could just be my beer not getting proper flow to my legs.

Either way it was all good yesterday. You also gain a few clicks on the mirage drive. i went from a 6 on the revo to a 3 in the PA. On my revo, if you use a mast mount FF then you are almost kicking into your FF.

For my first day standing on it I could do everything but cast an iron. Still need some balancing practice, or try before the beers

I did notice I could throw the iron alot further just sitting down and being able to get my body into it.

As for the surf, I wish it would have challenged me a little more. But with the capability of taking your reels off and putting them in a dry bag and stowing your rods it could ease your stomach a little when you are coming in from that wide open WSB spring night with 4 foot sets to your back in the dark.

The rudder on the PA is nice because kelp wont get hung up on it, which is also nice for launchings and landings.

These are just a few of my first good impressions, hope to get some blood on it soon!

Did you try pissing standing up on the PA? Thats what i like about the PA... you don't need special waders to pee. you could stand military style and pee. A TEN HUT!!

Yep, just have to practice not whizzing all over the boat!
