Fishing Kayaks

What should I consider when looking to buy a fishing kayak?

When looking for fishing kayaks for sale, there are a number of important factors to consider, such as:

• The length of your fishing kayak, tandem kayak or pedal kayak.
• The stability of your chosen kayak, depending on its purpose for angling, white water kayaking or other activities.
• Storage for when not in use.
• Portability for carrying on roof racks.
• Considerations for kayak fishing also include rod holders, appropriate length fishing rods, dry bag storage, space for fishing gear and tackle boxes, and room to house additional angling gear such as life jackets, gaffs, pliers, paddle leashes and other waterproof equipment.

What is the difference between a fishing kayak and a regular kayak?

Even though they may appear the same, there are some key differences when it comes to regular and fishing kayaks in Australia. A notable feature of fishing kayaks is that they have an elevated seat. The purpose of this is to give the angler an elevated vantage point and offer more efficiency when casting and reeling.

Although regular kayaks don't have this feature, they are easier to transport and involve fewer moving parts. When boiled down, the type of kayak you choose to purchase depends on how you intend to use it when out on the water.
