The Pelican Sit-on-top Fishing Kayak is an impressive watercraft that offers a great combination of features, performance and value. It's lightweight yet sturdy construction makes it perfect for fishing in all conditions, while its comfortable design ensures hours of enjoyable paddling. We found the kayak to be stable enough for standing up and casting, even with larger waves or windy conditions. Its tracking was excellent when going straight ahead, but we had some difficulty making tight turns with it due to its length and width.
The Pelican Sit-on-top Fishing Kayak comes with plenty of storage options including two large cargo hatches located on either side of the cockpit as well as four bungee cords at the bow for securing additional gear. There are also two rod holders mounted on either side just behind the seat which can easily accommodate rods up to 8 feet long without having to worry about them slipping out during transit or use. The built in paddle holder is also a nice touch that allows you to keep your paddle within easy reach when not in use.
In terms of comfort, this kayak does not disappoint! The adjustable padded backrest provides ample support while sitting down, allowing you to enjoy your time on the water without feeling any strain on your lower back after extended periods of paddling or casting from a seated position. Additionally, the molded footwells provide extra stability while standing up - something that many other sit-on-top kayaks lack - making this model ideal for those who like to fish from their feet rather than their seats.
Overall we were very impressed by what we experienced with this product; both in terms of quality and performance – especially considering its price point! Whether you're looking for a reliable fishing companion or simply want an affordable way to explore lakes and rivers near you then look no further than the Pelican Sit-on-top Fishing Kayak!
