Jackson Kayak

Cuda 12 Rudder Ready Kayak - 2017

The Jackson Kayak Cuda 12 Kayak houses an array of fishing-specific features to make your time on the water more productive and enjoyable. This sit-on-top kayak slices through lakes and mellow rivers without hesitation as you pursue your next prized catch when you're fly fishing for trout or throwing poppers for bass. Your rods won't get wet when you're on the move or posted up on your honey hole, and the rectangular center storage hatch hides your rod when not in use.

New to this year's edition of the Cuda is a two-layer standing pad that dampens sounds, harsh vibrations, and makes for a comfortable standing and fishing experience. A sharp V on the bow helps the boat hew a fine line into the reeds. The Ergo Seat is fashioned with a Hi/Lo setting that gives you a low profile when you're slicing through rough waters or stadium-like seating when you need a clear view of your surroundings.You can fit two regular-sized plastic tackle boxes under the seat and, as long as you're riding high, you can grab them without standing up. The center storage hatch will hold extra rods or your tent if you're planning a full weekend on the water, and paddle holders prevent chips and dings when you need both hands free. Even better, rod holders keep two rods at attention when you're cruising through the flats in pursuit of bonefish or allow them to hang low when you're trolling for striped bass. A removable skid plate protects your boat on the way from the car to the lake, and the Jackson Kayak safety flag protects your driving record if the boat butt hangs off your trailer a little too far for the taste of local law enforcement.
