Got me a Cuda - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makoslayer · 08-26-2013, 09:32 AM

Got my new Cuda 14. Its freaking awesome, though I already turtled when i didnt see a nice size wave crash on me. My buddy grabbed my gulp bucket quick. Lost a combo and 2 tackle boxes.

Initial thoughts on the Cuda.

BTW, Im coming back home to SoCal for a week. Its been a year since Ive been home and hopefully ill get stationed in SD next year. Any spots to hit near Oak Park? Im guessing somewhere in malibu to launch from?

I love the color on that thing!! Nice set up. How comfortable are you standing up in it? Sweet rig.

Man, the stability is amazing. Barely even feel it in choppy water. If it were flat i would be standing sight casting all day. It also comes with a pull cord to help you up.

Nice! I might get one after my Tarpon starts to fall apart. The JKs have a lot of sweet features.

my $.02 make sure to get the center hatch insert and the tackle mesh straps. They will help you a bunch....i lost two tackle boxes taking a rogue wave over the side....

Nice! I just got one myself. Made the switch from a hobie out back. The cuda is fast and tracks amazingly. I got the limon color. Very happy!

I just saw the picture. That's a beautiful kayak. I wish Hobie had some nice colors.
