Reel Yaks Pedal Kayak Fishing Angler

Effortless pedal drive
Ultimate fishing platform
All day comfort
Easy to carry
Simple to store

The Reel Yaks Pedal Kayak Fishing Angler is a great option for those looking to enter the world of kayak fishing. This 11-foot pedal kayak offers plenty of features and storage options, making it an ideal choice for anglers who want to take their skills on the water. Weighing in at just over 50 pounds, this lightweight boat is easy to set up and transport from one location to another. It also has a flat bottom that allows it to glide through shallow waters without difficulty. Plus, its comfortable seat with metal back-support clips slides back and forth but does not adjust up or down - perfect for long days spent out on the lake or river!

The Reel Yaks Pedal Kayak Fishing Angler comes with a smooth pedal drive that provides plenty of power and can be removed easily should you need to navigate shallow waters. There are also seven rod holders located around the boat, as well as additional equipment rails where you can attach extra gear such as your fish finder transducer or trolling motor mount system (which is sold separately). And speaking of trolling motors: we tested out both Watersnake 24 thrust models and heavier 55 lb thrust motors on this unit - achieving speeds of 4 mph with the former model, 5-6 mph with the latter.

When it comes time for storage, you won't have any trouble finding room aboard this vessel - there's plenty! Not only does it come equipped with bungee straps so you can secure items like your battery box/battery behind your seat; but its hull offers ample space so you don't have worry about bringing too much along on your next excursion. And if stability is something that concerns you while out in choppy water? Don't fret: we were able to test this kayak successfully against strong currents during windy conditions...and never once did we feel like tipping over was even remotely possible.

Finally, when shopping around for a new kayak don’t forget about customer service – which Reel Yaks has proven itself exemplary at! When I had an issue they sent me replacement locks free of charge; plus they offer improved chair straps at no cost too (these all metal straps are far superior than what originally came included). All told? If you're just getting into the kayaking game then look no further than Reel Yak's Pedal Kayak Fishing Angler – its value really cannot be surpassed!
