Top 10 Fishing Kayaks
I'm gonna make a list of the top 10 fishing kayaks of all time just to throw on the website or newsletter or somewhere, thought it would be fun to get some input. I haven't come up with the list yet, but here's some contenders, in no particular order:
Cobra Fish N Dive OK Scupper Pro Malibu X-Factor Hobie Revolution OK Trident 15 WS Tarpon Series Malibu Stealth 14 Malibu extreme OK Torque Hobie Pro Angler What you got? |

maybe look at overall sales. for instance, no mention of the prowler 13/15 yet they have been proven fish killing machines for a long time, and still are awesome fishing kayaks and very popular. durability and longevity are important.
how about versatility? some kayaks are great in one type fishery, but would be a tough ride in others. some are good for many things but don't excel in any (which is why I love my prowler 13 by the way). for instance, the pro angler would be useless up in malibu. you'd never get that thing through the surf where I launch. (nor up and down the steps at esco!!) neither the torque. how about price or simplicity? a scrambler XT or drifter can't be beat for that. |

Started with a SPTW & really liked it. Moved on to a P15 & really like it.
I think I just really like fishing out of a kayak |

Well seeing as how most kayaks were made out here (until OK moved recently) there is bound to be more on the list from the West Coast. I see no problem with Brians start to the list other than skipping the Prowler 15. |

OK Torque?
I'm curious as to why you put the Ocean Kayak Torque in your top 10. I have a '13 PA 14 and a '13 OK Torque. The Torque is fun but nowhere near the quality fishing machine that PA is.

I've owned cobra tour, fish n dive, xfaxtor and a prowler. I now own a hobie revo and pound for pound the best kayak, that's for someone like me @ 165lbs. Once you peddle to the dark side there's no going back.

owned an x-factor, Prowler Big game, and now a Malibu Extreme...
X-factor was a great boat. But the Extreme is by far hands down my favorite. I plan to buy another one in the future. |

What, no Scrambler XT? I would take the new X13 over any other kayak on the market

Fact of life. The only major East Coast brand we regularly see on our Pacific Shores is Wilderness. If you can't buy it, it can't be a west coast classic. That knocks out Emotion, FeelFree, RTM, Hurricane, even Native (although at least one SoCal shop sells a couple of their models).
