New to this so i have a couple of questions

[OKreally]

Jamie,

 

If you buy from Brookbank, be sure to get a quote for the entire package that you buy from them.

 

They'll usually charge full whack for the yak but give you a free paddle. Check what the free one is. Last year I bought a Prowler 13 from them and the free paddle was a Carlisle Simply Magic with fibre glass shaft....about £60 worth and adequate for a beginner. I've just bought my stepson a Scrambler XT and the free paddle was just a £30 cheapo, with heavy alloy shaft.....so I just paid the difference to upgrade to a better paddle....so basically, I got £30 off. If you're getting an elite, ie a more expensive yak, I think you should expect to get a slightly better quality paddle.

 

If you are also buying other kit such as pfd, cag, pants etc they'll give you a reduction on those as well...generally about 10%.

 

Deva Marine are based in Conwy and Anglesey (nr Benllech). They sell yaks and yakking gear (although don't specialise as Brookbank do). It might be worth getting prices from them as well.

 

Good luck.

 

Gloomy NB...Deva Marine are in administration!!

Jamie....you aren't gonna find many places with more yaks in stock than Brookbank. Have a day trip to Colwyn Bay, there is a fishing tackle shop with kayaks for sale on the pier there. VictoriaPierAngling.

I drove past DevaMarine the other day...thought it looked dead!

I mind getting the kayak itself online, but i think somewhere like brookbank would be good for the PFD paddle etc. as they seem to know there stuff

No sweat with putting it on a fiesta, I put a 15' yak on a peugeot 106.

You might struggle a bit getting all the fishing tackle inside it though....

 

 

and welcome to the club.

Hi Jamie,

 

Where are you based ? I note that you fish in N Wales area and went to Brookbank....I fish and shop on those places respectively. I'm based between Sheffield and Chesterfield.

 

By the way, Richi has a P13 and puts it on a Peugeot 206...or something like that anyway...similar in size to a Fiesta.

I've had Phooey's 15ft Dorado on there too and it is a 206

 

Speciman has a similar car and puts his 15ft scupper pro on it too
