This kayak is very customizable to fit the task at hand, whether it’s fishing, hunting or just paddling along with family or friends. The YuPIK also incorporates a moving standing pad system, the company’s StrapDown gear track for 360-degree storage security and a new, fully trimmable seat pan.

Add in a comfortable and breathable ElementAir seat and rod storage options, and it’s a potent angling tool for kayakers. The 120 PDL’s universal transducer mounting systems allows for any fishfinder to be placed without excess hassle. The DoubleU hull offers solid stability and a 500-pound weight capacity, meaning it can be loaded up with fishing tackle and gear. The PDL pedal-driven system itself comes with a 5-year warranty, and a rudder is included with the ’yak. The newest member of Old Town’s Topwater line, the 12-foot 120 PDL offers a hands-free, pedal-drive kayak along with a lot of great fishing features.

The layout has also been reworked to offer a diverse functionality that extends beyond fishing. The new hull has been reshaped from the previous Kilroy model for additional storage and stability, and the kayak includes Bow2Stern gear-and-seat track systems. Jackson Kayak’s new Kilroy HD offers an incredibly versatile sit-in option with a number of great features.

Add in Hobie’s Vantage Seat for comfort and a host of other built-in angler-friendly features, and this is truly a versatile fishing machine for the serious kayak angler. The Kick-Up Fins, meanwhile, automatically retract upon impact, which allows anglers to go shallower than they have been able to go with previous pedal-driven systems.

Hobie’s website has some really cool videos illustrating the impressive maneuverability of these ’yaks. This system allows the angler an unprecedented array of movements - literally in any direction. Hobie’s latest is chock-full of features for the kayak angler, not the least of which is the MirageDrive 360 propulsion system with Kick-Up Fins.
