That's got to be one long paddle to move that wide beast....

Looks like it's going to be too much to drag around. I love the rod gutters tho.

Seems like overkill to me. I can't imagine paddling a 37" wide yak.

Great for lakes and serios bass guys. I think it would be to much to paddle into the wind on a choppy day.

As a former FND owner that used a 220cm paddle, it might not be too bad. The hull design looks efficient, unlike a FND. If you use a 240cm paddle I would probably be fine. Just put the seat in the low position do paddling, learn proper technique and fish.

Well, the PA 14 is only 38" wide and it paddles ok if you use a longer paddle AND learn how to steer and lean. BTW it carries a lot of fish, nice this time of year.

The boat is huge but not impossible to paddle as it is the same hull as the Big Tuna.
Werner Paddles is now making paddles in a 250cm size to meet the needs of these new wider boats and higher seats. The industry is changing and going in this direction for most boats. I wouldnt be surprised to see some cool new boats for our market in the next year ot 2 though.

A 250cm paddle would push it along no problem. Personally I wouldn't fish a Big Rig in LJ or be very keen on surf launching it but it's a sweet boat. For the bays and lakes that we have it would be a real killer.

It looks Jackson is focussing on the east and gulf coast. When I fished the outer banks of NC that boat would have been sweet. The power pole is rediculous in open water but they are graet in the shallow sounds and back waters. I used to just shove a broom stick through a scupper hole and in to the mud. Mike
