Need a lightweight Fishing Kayak?
Permalink  

Here's something that you just can't miss out on if you are into Kayak fishing & are worried about weight & the issues with roof top loading.

A great deal at just a bit over $US8,000 for a great package.  

Not sure if their 'white glove' delivery offer includes Australia.

I see enough fishing kayaks in front of us. They are pretty well organised with rods, electric motor, esky, cappuccino holder, trawling data screen mount & lighting. Probably not a lot of money left for carbon fibre.

For $8,000, I'd want a decent outboard mounted to steer clear of crocodiles - especially with "Bert" dangling his legs over the side!

 With this one you'd be able to out paddle the snappy handbags.

BTW that's $11,500 AUD.

Looks like it could handle the ocean too. Well, at times anyway.





Keep Safe out there.
