Knarr FD Fishing Kayak - 2023

Knarr FD Fishing Kayak - 2023

Description

Why We Love The Jackson Kayak Knarr Fishing Kayak

The Jackson Knarr Fishing Kayak is built to conquer big water and tackle big fish. It has been developed with valuable insights from offshore, inshore, and tournament anglers to ensure top-notch performance. The hull is expertly designed to deliver speed, stability, tracking, and exceptional handling on oceans and large lakes.

Moreover, the Knarr is packed with an array of features that set it apart from the competition.

The bow of the kayak boasts a flat surface that is perfect for a bow-mount trolling motor (not included). It also includes a generously sized hatch for conveniently storing the battery or extra gear. Similarly, the stern is designed to accommodate a stern-mount motor (not included) and features a bait tank and security bars for securely strapping down batteries, coolers, and tackle.

However, if motors are not your thing, fret not. The Knarr comes equipped with the Flex Drive Mark IV peddle drive, which offers fast and quiet propulsion, leaving your hands free for fishing.

The cockpit of the kayak caters to the needs of anglers. Traction pads ensure stability while fishing in a standing position, and the EZ Hi-Lo seating system allows you to easily adjust the seat height by lifting the front, providing optimal positioning for both pedaling and fishing. The kayak is also designed to seamlessly accommodate a fish finder with a convenient scupper hole and protective transducer cover. Furthermore, accessing the prop for maintenance and keeping it free from weeds and line is a breeze. The boat's molded geometry and TriTrack channels enable easy installation of electronics and hide all cables, ensuring a clutter-free fishing and pedaling experience.

When it comes to storage, the Knarr does not disappoint. It can hold 6-8 fishing rods and comes equipped with two flush-mounted rod holders, three rod tubes on each side of the boat, and a TriLock Side Stager that pairs perfectly with the rod tubes, elevating your rods and keeping them easily accessible. The improved steering system allows for more responsive turns, featuring two easy knobs that can be operated with either hand to control the rudder.

In addition to the fantastic features mentioned above, the Knarr provides ample space for cooler and tackle storage, security bars and rails for tie-downs and accessory mounting, and several included accessories. These include a red safety flag, a stand-assist strap, a YakAttack Omega Rod Holder, an Orion side mount cup holder, and the new Jackson Kayak multi-box for tackle and tool storage.
