The Old Town Canoes & Kayaks Predator PDL Fishing Kayak is a game-changer in the world of pedal-powered hands-free fishing kayaks. With this kayak, you can focus on what matters most - fishing. Maneuvering the kayak is a breeze, thanks to the award-winning and maintenance-free PDL drive. You can pedal in both forward and reverse, giving you complete control on the water.
The kayak is equipped with a rudder control knob that allows for smooth handling. In windy conditions, you can lock the steering knob into place to keep the kayak straight while fighting a fish. The design of the Predator PDL kayak is packed with features that will enhance your fishing experience. These include an adjustable Element Seating System, a slip-resistant Exo-Ridge deck, and an oversized tank well.
The Predator PDL also comes with a built-in fish finder transducer scupper, molded-in rod holders, and six drillable accessory plates for customization. For horizontal transport, there are rod tip protectors, and for storage, there is a large water-tight bow hatch with a Click Seal cover and a rectangular Click Seal hatch under the seat.
Installing, deploying, and docking the PDL drive is quick and easy, thanks to the patented docking system on the Predator PDL. This kayak has a maximum load capacity of 500 pounds, making it suitable for all your fishing gear. The hull comes with a limited lifetime warranty, and the PDL drive has an industry-leading 5-year warranty.
Please note that the paddle is sold separately. Old Town is a reputable brand in the canoe and kayak industry, known for its long legacy of quality craftsmanship.
