Jackson Kayak kraken - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 10-17-2014, 03:11 PM

OEX Mission Bay and OEX Sunset Beach have em in stock, I got my delivery yesterday, took my demo kayak out local this morning. Will have it cleaned and ready to demo this weekend.

Lots to like on this kayak, stand by for our reviews as we spend some more time rigging and fishing these.

Livewell worked killer, released a lot of healthy bait after 5 hours of fishing. I came up with an idea to give you options of how high you want your water level to be, it is a big tank!

Casually breaking in the demo yak, well done sir - thing looks sick!

Andy, how much does that new ride sell for all rigged out?

Iceman · 10-19-2014, 09:18 AM

$1799 includes the tank, tackle box, the seat, lumbar pad, a total of 8 rod holders, 2 flush, 2 RAM tubes, 1 2007 RAM and a screw ball for track mount, 3 rod rack on tank lots of gear track and a Go Pro mount.

How much for just the hull?

Iceman · 10-19-2014, 09:57 AM

Troy, not offered that way from Jackson, but we could figure out a "buy back" on anything you do not want included.

I could do w/o the kook on deck. lol

I bought my two yaks from sunset beach, great sales and friendly. His guys helped me load them in my truck and tie them down. My big rig had a broken rail for the track system and Iceman ordered new replacements and had them drop shipped to my home. I recommend anyone looking for a Yak give him a call.

what's your "idea" for allowing optional water levels on the kkrate? i was thinking about this the other day after seeing how big that tank is.

Iceman · 10-24-2014, 03:01 PM

Justin, originally I just cut a couple lengths of 3/4 clear tubing and stuck them on a 3/4 nipple. This is just a male to female and drains into the tank well and out the scupper. I did have a sardine get sucked in and clogged it momentarily so I borrowed this idea from Hobie's down spout on their livewell. This works really well. I did a wrap of electric tape around the nipple to make it snug, I think shrink tubing would work too.

Ooh I like this idea! Thanks Andy, I'll ask the guys over at mbay OEX to build to this whenever mine comes in.
