Well what can i say about this fine little machine
Weight/Transport
From a new kayak angler side i have found that it is easy to manage alone, which is good as i have a long journey to the launch site i regularly use so its light weight of 56lb is great.
Modding
Have found it is an easy kayak to put simple but effective mods on it without the need of drilling holes as of yet as most the usually places have already got threaded holes ready to just fit things to ;D
The little mods i have done it made a rod hold on the rod pod hatch and put a small plate on the rear end for the home made anchor trolley to fit to all done with screws/bolts no pictures of them but you can just see the cup part of the rod hold on the last pic on here.
Features
The rod pod is one of the best things i like about the kayak once again easy to mod due to the screw holes being there already along with the rod holder holes which is once again easy to mod something to fit in there but best thing of all it give me piece of mind knowing my rod is going to be safe for the launch and landing on swelly days.
The fish finder hatch i have not had use of a propper mounted one yet as mine is portable hand held but have found that it holds spare leads, towel, jig heads or bait well inside.
The front hatch area is big enough to hold my trolley dry bag with shoes, coat and anything else i don,t need while being out on the water.
tank-well is nice and large for all them fishies to fit in with a small place for a cool box but i use it for my anchor bag stores well just behind the seat.
Not much i can say about the flush mount rod holders behind the seat apart from they hold the rods nice and out the way from paddling and flicking a lead/bait/shad a short way.
The seat is good and comfy beats sitting on rocks/plastic boxes ;D
Paddling
So far have found it a nice paddle in strong winds and strong tide and even some nice size swells gives a newbie like me a good deal of comfort knowing it handles it all well
As for fishing spot on for landing even the dogs of the sea
And that is what i have so far for this kayak hope it helps ;D
