Jackson Kayak

Cuda 12 Kayak - 2014

The fine lines on the Jackson Kayak Cuda 12 Kayak belie its ferocious fishing features. Light and lithe, this sit-on-top boat slices through the water without hesitation as you go after the prize catch. Whether you're fly fishing or doing a little fresh-water trolling, your rods won't get wet whether you're on the move or sitting still, and the rectangular center storage hatch hides your secret weapon, a rod called Wanda.
Sharp V up front helps the boat hew a fine line into the reeds. The Hi/Lo seat gives you a low profile or stadium-like seating when you need a clear view of your surroundings. You can fit two regularly sized plastic tackle boxes under the seat and, so long as you're riding high, you can grab 'em without standing up.
Bow and stern storage hatches hold your dry bags full of snacks and dry clothes. The center storage hatch will hold extra rods or your tent if you're planning a full weekend on the water. Paddle holders prevent chips and dings when you need both hands free. The GoPro mount holds your waterproof camera so you'll have digital documentation of the one that got away. Ram Tough Tubes adjust depending on what you want: keep your rods at attention when you're cruising through the salts, or let them hang low when you're trolling in a fresh-water lake. The skid plate protects your boat on the way from the car to the lake, and the Jackson Kayak long-load safety flag protects your driving record if the boat butt hangs off your roof a little too far for the taste of local law enforcement.
