| Finding the right kayak to fish from can be a challenging process even if it isn't your first. Like buying a car, there are lots of makes, models and styles to choose from. And just like buying a car, it's a lot easier to shop if you know what you're looking for before you go to the "lot". In this section, you can find images, specs and information links for some of the kayaks most commonly used for fishing. Only sit-on-top kayaks are shown here since they are by far the most dominant type of fishing kayak. New models and manufacturers will be added as they become available. If you aren't sure what type of kayak you are interested in, try the selection guide first to help narrow your search and then come back to the links on the left. Once you have a 'short list' of possible choices, visit your local paddle shop and test paddle as many models as possible. Many shops will rent you a 'yak' for the day so you can try fishing from it and will apply the rental to the purchase price if you decide to buy. Ultimately, choosing the right fishing kayak for you is a very subjective decision; what's perfect for someone else may not necessarily work well for you. Take the time to look around and definitely try before you buy! | |
