Yeah, the Tarpon 120 is probably one of the most purchased fishing kayaks out there. In addition to the Tarpon, the Ocean Kayak Trident with the Rod Pod is very popular. You could also look at stuff from Native Watercraft. But in most cases these things are over $1000 new. My thing is that these things hold value well and you cant touch one, even used, for what I am looking to spend.
I wanna spend $600 or so on teh kayak, paddle, and PFD... so going to BPS and buying the Ascend is the only real option. Luckily it is a pretty good kayak.
A very unique idea (and teh one I would go with if I had teh cash flow...
