About this item
- EFFORTLESS PEDAL DRIVE: Propel yourself easily to your favourite lake fishing spot or take on the surf with this incredibly powerful fin pedal drive system, that’s easy on the knees. Use the flaps to get closer to the action with a quieter drive, that doesn’t get stuck in grass or pads, loves the shallows near stumps and docks, and weighs (only 11lbs) a lot less than a prop drive, allowing you to take more gear.
- ULTIMATE FISHING PLATFORM: This innovative fishing kayak has a stable "W" hull shape for either seated or standing action, a large cockpit with 3 secure storage hatches for even the roughest conditions, 4 track rails for mounting fishing rods holders and accessories, 6 rod holders and of course, a bottle holder to satisfy your thirst.
- ALL DAY COMFORT: Long trips have never felt so comfortable, sit in a stadium style cushioned chair with quick drying breathable fabric that provides increased comfort while customizing the adjustable back rest and rails to meet your preference. Thick foot pads provide standing comfort and maximum grip when you need it most.
- EASY TO CARRY: This professional pedal drive kayak weighs only 68lbs (unloaded) making it easy to lift onto your roof or tailgate and be at your secret fishing spot in no time. It has an incredible 500lbs load capacity, to take you and all your essential gear no matter what’s biting.
- SIMPLE TO STORE: The 11’ length makes this kayak a breeze to manoeuvre and store. Robust build quality and testing means this kayak can be stored flat, on its side or in racks. Also, the flap pedal drive system is very lightweight and has a flat shape, for convenient & secure storage under your car seat or on the shelf at home.

Wide bladed rudder for tighter turningBy adding almost 1.5" to the width of our rudders we've increased our rudder width by a massive 35%, delivering tighter turns in confined fishing spots. |

We now use cam-locks which are simpler (only 2 parts), accept a wide range of pedal drives, not just our own and last much longer. We still offer click-n-go for those that want to buy them. |

The 11' Reel Yak arguably has more features (plenty of storage, rod holders, awesome rudder, etc) than any other kayak maker... at a reasonable cost. Sure, one could go buy a Nu Canoe, Hobie, etc, but you are going to spend 2000-3000 more for the same features as the Reel Yak and are going to have a unit that weighs 40-60 lbs more. I had a minor issue, but Reel Yaks set me straight with their customer service and a coupon, which was really nice. The pedal drive is really smooth, has plenty of power, and works well in very shallow water (easy to pull up to a landing without removing as long as the pedals are fully extended... and it takes 3 seconds to pop the peddle drive out of the brackets if the landing is shallow). One can stand on it, but it does take relatively good balance in rough water... such is the nature of lightweight kayaks. The weight is another aspect I love... so easy to toss on the SUV rails and ratchet strap down by myself. I don't see how one could flip the unit on the water... the driver would spill first. My only complaint is that the unit should be sent with extra bolts, nuts, etc.
ETA:
1. Installed Reel Yak's trolling motor mount system. Super easy to install... and it works great. It allows the trolling motor to be deployed into the water, or hinged back across the back of the kayak. I would highly recommend using lightweight trolling motors, such as Watersnake (I put the 24 thrust on mine). I clamped my trolling motor (battery box/battery were strapped down via bungee and the straps Reel Yak has installed) to the storage area behind the seat. I was able to achieve 4 miles per hour with this set up on the Watersnake high setting. 2 mph on the low setting. When trying heavier 55 lb thrust motors, this thing was crazy fast... 5-6 mph or more depending on current.
2. I took this kayak on a large lake during some very windy conditions. I did not have the trolling motor modification at this time. I was able to take the kayak 4 miles (per my well mounted fish finder transducer that Reel Yak makes possible with their fish finder compartment) that day with the pedal drive only. Yak held up well in choppy water.
3. Reel Yaks customer service hooked me up with their improved chair straps at no cost. These all metal straps are far better than the original.
4. I took this kayak on a 4 night, 5 day solo camping trip near the Canadian border on a state park. I hauled gear (tent, sleep, food, tackle, firewood, etc.) across a lake to a water access only site. I was rolling lightweight, but this kayak rocked in terms of weight capacity. The amount of gear I could store in the hull of the kayak was astounding; I brought an overkill of 5 rods with no problem. Just be smart to know your gear weight and overall weight limitations. I weigh 190 lbs.
5. With a trolling motor and a back-up battery, I explored nearly every part of a 1,000 acre lake in northern Minnesota. I caught every species of fish you really can on that lake. This kayak made that trip and experience possible.
6. One can easily troll crank baits with it. I use a heavy bait caster, 30 lb braid, 40 lb steel leader using the high setting on the trolling motor, and I have caught tons of pike this past year. Brace the rod between your legs and till around the lake as you please.
7. This kayak rocks.
I put it on the water yesterday. It was unstable (needs optional pontoons in photo). The flap drive wobbled and popped out of place. Customer support sent me new locks that work much better (see photo).
Kayak has a place for my transducer, (7) rod holders, extra equipment rails and lots of room and storage. It comes with a paddle and assembly tools. The bottom is fairly flat and my old wheels fit on the back. This kayak does not have a reverse. The seat is comfortable with metal back-support clips and it slides back and forth but does not adjust up or down. The steering is a little stiff. The flap drive needs (2) M5 brass grease fittings which I ordered on Amazon. The kayak comes with an assembly booklet but does not explain the extra M6 screw or M5 set screw. This kayak is better suited for lakes than rivers.

Bent the connecting rod on one of the fins when I ran into an underwater stump on my 2nd time out. Not sure how fast I was going, but I was fishing so no moving too fast.
Bilge drain hole is in a terrible location. No wat it will drain without extreme effort on my part.
Both 'bags' that sit in the hatches do not stay in place.
Tracks work very well for rod holders, sonar, and light weight tiedowns.
No good place for my anchor retrieval system.
Edit after a summer of use. Dropping review down to 1 star for durability. The pedal drive need to have nuts and washers replaced twice because the fell off during use. The rods holding the fins bent and don't stay aligned. The rudder cables get loose. And the center port waterproof seal didn't last for 1 seasons use - and it is really irrelevant because once water gets into the bilge it is nearly impossible to get dry and then the only think keeping your stuff dry is if you have it in a dry bag separate from the kayak.
