Kayak vs Bassboat

[SLP]

So, what do you guys think of this yak?

http://nativewatercraft.com/outfitting.cfm?boat=3. I have a buddy in Madison, WI that can get me the TEVIS version of that at cost.......

That looks awesome. I never had one so i couldn't give you an educated opinion about specifics, but it looks real nice. Does it have an option for pedals? I was looking at one where you had the option to pedal it with your feet and keep both hands free. I thought that was a neat feature.

Pedals are an option.....as is a motor.......I'd do the pedals, but they are different than the hobie's.

It really looks nice. Hope it works out for you.

This is just one of 11 different options I'm trying out in madison, WI in a month.

I have a good friend that owns rudabaga up there, and he has a few for me to try out on my swing back from Canada.......I'm taking the Yakima rack, so who knows........I might end up bring one back

Several brands do have the pedals. They can be useful for some types of fishing, but not so useful for others. Since the pedals run below the yak you need deeper water to run them (around 2 feet for some). In some of the areas I fish that will not work. They also tend to be larger/heavier. If you are trying to cover a lot of water, they can be useful cause you can cast and pedal or troll hands free. Pros and cons for each, just gotta figure out what works best for how you want to use them.
