Prowler 15 or Fish and Dive - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

taggermike · 04-08-2011, 07:38 AM

I've owned both the Prowler 15 and the Fish and Dive and I thought they were both great kayaks. They are hard to compare because they are so different though. Every one here has recomended the Prowler and I do to but the FnD has its strong points. At 200lbs you don't need a kayak with so much floatation and stability but then again it's unlikely you will ever dump the FnD. I liked the little seat in the bow of the FnD and took my kids fishing with me. I thought the FnD went through the surf, in and out, much better than the Prowler. Like always, try them both and see what you think. Mike
