Hope your surgery goes well and you recover soon.
That does look like a good deal... and with the rudder too. However, I'm not loving the Sprite ~ lemon/lime camo pattern. |

Ya think insurance would bite? I agree the color isn't helping the guys cause but I'd imagine it'd be highly visable on the water. |

I've never seen one of these kayaks, are they pretty stable? It looks like it could be top heavy.

I also have rotator cuff issues in both shoulder and after learning how to paddle the right way they have felt better.

The Mokens are on my shortlist... I really like the new hatches and the new rails. My current ride on the water is already very similar... (made by same factory).
It's just that the updated chair-type on the Native Watercraft and Jacksons seem to be the new way to go. May just take you up on that offer when I get closer to my purchase. Thanks! |

It seems like every time somebody asks about a Jackson, the Moken name comes up. If somebody asks about a Hobie, do people recommend trying out a Malibu first?!?!

The Cuda 14 is good for our style fishing because it's stable and it covers ground quickly. The Cuda 12 would work out here but it's a little wider to compensate for the length without losing stability. You are able to stand up fish on both. Both are good boats.

I've paddled both, the 12 is nice but better suited to smaller waters. Ponds, lakes, bays ect. It would be fine in LJ but if the wind or swell kicked up it would make for a bumpy ride. A smaller boat is nicer off the water for transporting and storage but the longer boat is better on the water. If you are looking for 12' kayak options from Jackson the cruise is a sleeper. Super stable and nice open deck layout. Sight fishing skinny water in the back bays would be killer on the cruise especially if you fly fish.
