Just got a Perception Sport Pescador 12 and here's what it came with:

Tankwell w/ Bungee
Paddle Parks
Flush Mount Rod Holder
Scotty Baitcaster Rod Holder
3.5 lb Anchor Kit

I know I need a comfy seat, a PFD, a radio, a GPS, a paddle(s)... anything else?
My budget like most is very limited, can someone trow out some affordable, yet decent brands to get for what I still need? I won't take her out yet 'til I'm fully prepared to do so.

Maybe a game clip and a gaff or lip grip or net? also some leashes, make sure leash everything you don't want to lose it.

Althought i have not flip yet, also i don't like all these leashes around my kayak, but that is the only way to avoid lose your gears.

Actually you don't need to take out after fully prepared, a PFD, a paddle and a rod, you can do some light fishing in bay or lake, and get use to your kayak.
