Looks good. How does that boat handle? Is it the 10 or 12 footer?

This is the 12ft, not the new frontier. I had the 10ft before and it was nice but I found it a little small for what I wanted. as far a stability the 10ft was great but definitely didn't have the speed like the other boats I was fishing with. this is why I went to the 12ft model but I haven't tried it yet....

compared to the other 12's and 14's I fished and paddled along with I had trouble keeping up. keep in mind the Nucanoe has a 42" beam which is really wide, so you lose a bit of speed but gain in stability.

hope that helps...

Hey thanks! I like the set up on the frontier as well. My yak is pretty much set up for trout and salmon, I can cast a fly or troll with a down rigger....

Down rigger will be on the next video.
