Fishing kayaks

Fishing kayaks are one of the most unique, interesting and dynamically growing branches of recreational kayaking.
A great variety of movements and activities must be brought to one platform.
(rowing in calm water, or in drifts, in the wind, sitting in one place for hours, or constantly experimenting with spinning while standing, or pulling the kayak through a dam embankment, etc.) Authentic fishing kayaks must serve all of this. Not to mention the issues of color, transportability and resistance. Everything must be within easy reach, very comfortable and quick-drying seats and seating positions are needed. It is no coincidence that the really famous, reputable fishing kayak brands on the planet (Perception, Jackson, Feelfree, 3waters, Pelikan, Native, Hobbie, RTM, etc.) were created by old reputable kayak design brands in cooperation with professional, knowledgeable fishermen. Kayaks 3-3.8 meters long are primarily designed for continental rivers and inland waters, and 4.2-4.5 meters long for seas and oceans.

The rise of fishing kayaks in the USA started more than ten years ago, the first wave has just passed here, and the cheaper, lower quality fishing kayaks are now starting to be replaced by more elaborate, professional American, Australian, and European types. Meanwhile, the fashion for pedal-driven and electric-driven fishing kayaks also started.
