In the past, MKs, Cobras, and Hobies comprised the mix in our fleets, but these new players from back East are easily becoming contenders....
My Yak upgrade fund is growing slowly, but with the number of new models getting closer to double-digits, it's getting hard to make a choice.

Well I'm a Pro Staffer for FeelFree Kayaks and I can tell you that the Moken 12 and 14 are well designed for the type of fishing that we do out here. The seat that comes with the Kayak is the most comfortable I have ever sat in for a Kayak seat. It sits up a little higher than the OK, and tarpons. It has a really cool standing platform just in front of the seat with scupper holes under the platform so that water doesn't pool up where you sit. The rod pod easily holds 9' rods. This past weekend I had 6 rods that all have conventional reels attached, bait net, gaff, and gear stored inside for landind in the surf. The Kayak paddles fast smooth.
They also have smaller kayaks for lakes and bays that are equally as stable, with the casting platform, and the great seat.
If you want to demo the Kayak let me know and I can meet you or I can get the local sales rep to maybe throw together a demo day.
