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.
