Engineered to last, the system is manufactured using cast aluminum and finished off with heavy-duty components. The Lure 13.5 with Overdrive pedal drive also features a large bow hatch, front console, Gravity seat, and rudder with hand steering control. Paddle, pedal or power, the Overdrive system gives kayak anglers and recreational paddlers the flexibility to Feelfree all day long no matter where they choose to have fun! The lid has an inlaid cutting board for prepping bait or cutting fish and is insulated so the console can be used with the optional cooler insert to keep your drinks, bait, or fish cold. An integrated transducer recess and port make for easy installation of a fish finder. The Lure 13.5 still includes all the other great feature of the Lure family like the removable multi-level, multi-position extra wide Gravity Seat, Feelfree's wheel in the keel, and Uni-Track system. Pescador Pilot The Perception Pescador Pilot is an affordable sit-on-top kayak packed to the gills with fishing features and complete with the included Pilot Drive pedal drive system. The Pilot Drive is performance-engineered to achievethe perfect balance of simplicity and ingenuity, and is ergonomically optimized for all-day hands-free fishing. Outfitted with a Captain's Chairwith on-the-fly adjustable gear tracks and tension knobs, four molded-in rod holders, two YakAttack accessory tracks, a transducer scupper,and two storage consoles for mounting electronics.

Large and in charge, the Titan offers unsurpassed stability and ample room and flexibility to move around. Optimal for sight casting with plenty of leverage to reel in the catch, this is a fisherman's fantasy fulfilled. This boat features easy-to-reach horizontal rod storage with rod tip protection. Elevated First Class Seating is designed for comfortable transitions between standing and sitting, and it can be moved out of the way for a walk-around deck.

Wilderness Systems Pungo 120 The Pungo 120, the most popular Pungo in the family strikes the perfect balance of size and manageability.
