fishing kayak vs regular kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lckcpaddler2 · 07-14-2013, 03:13 PM

I am trying to decide whether or not a fishing kayak is worth the extra $$ or if I should just modify my regular sea kayak and make it fishing capable... I am looking into getting this one but I am just not sure. What do yall think? http://www.kayaktrader.com/malibu-xf...fishing-kayak/

Thanks

The only difference between a fishing kayak and a regular kayak is a line and hook. Don't get suckered in by marketing. Do your research and demo a couple kayak to find out what you want.

Be careful, tho. I "researched" fishing kayaks and all I want to do is add on to my kayak and buy a more expensive one. haha. It's addictive and the more I discover, the more I want!
