Why this might be the Kayak for you:
The Pelican Strike 100X Angler Kayak is designed to make kayaking easy and comfortable with improved features. This simple looking kayak is the best combination of simplicity and brilliant engineering.
The re-designed hull has drastically improved the maneuverability and tracking of this kayak. A short stubby skeg at the rear of the hull keeps the kayak from drifting off the course and helps in tracking the kayak straight.
Being only 10 feet long, it still provides great storage capacity and the rear part of the kayak is very spacious to keep the fishing gears. In addition, the dry hatch is an ideal place to store things, as the hatch always remains dry even if the kayak tips over.
As far as the durability of this kayak is concerned, the material used in the making of Pelican Strike 100X Angler Kayak is the new premium RAM-X material, which is much stronger and stiffer, so the performance of the kayak will remain unaffected for a longer period.
- New and improved polyethylene structure, RAM-X Premium offers improved performance and aesthetics of the kayak on both moving and still water
- A great kayak, especially designed for paddlers
- This kayak offers plenty of storage for gear and fishing poles
- Special chemical addition on the deck that creates a glossy, premium finish
- New design with performance hulls at the bottom of the kayak provides greater speed, better tracking and more stability
- The adjustable foot pegs are easy to use and possess the ability to accommodate wide range paddlers
- Weight is amazingly light for such a well-built hull
- The handles can be too flimsy
- Strong winds affect its tracking
- It is not as stable as compared to other angler-inspired kayaks
