This will definately be my next kayak, due to the features and freshwater stable it so badly wants to be housed in. This will be ultimately suited to my Trout fishing expeditions in the cooler months on the Alpine lakes and will be teamed with a Scotty Downrigger to acheive presentation depth. While I have not had the pleasure of pedaling this terrific looking kayak yet there are plenty of reviews online showcasing the 'Pro Angler' in all its glory. The team at my favourite online read, Kayakfishingmagazine.net, have recently reviwed the craft and have nothing but praise. Keep a look out for the addition to my growing quiver!
"Ever wanted to gain access to the next new honey-hole but just couldn’t quite figure out how to get there? How about seeing that sweet spot back through the woods, brush or shallows that you couldn’t reach with a traditional boat? Better yet, what about that area that you’ve been dying to get down to, but there was no launch ramp or road leading down to the waters edge? Even worse, how about that absolutely perfect spot that has been closed off to traditional motorized boats?".
