Peddle kayaks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you are talking about the PDL drive from old town (and similar lesser known competitors) I have heard they are great. Buddy of mine sold his outback and got into a sportsman 132 and loves the new ride. I think like anything else tho you may have to give them a test drive before biting the bullet.

I called the bed shell vendor about the order status of the Yakima racks I had ordered. Yakima was telling them December at the earliest. I canceled my order and Rack N Road in OC had them in stock. Now i need to find a couple new peddle kayaks to put up there.

I like my Old Town Predator PDL but I don't have to roof rack it. Now it's either on a trailer if I take two or in my truck bed if only taking 1

Like my name says, I got a hobie lynx. It is lightweight and fast. It's a bit slappy and loud, and it's a similar feel to my standup boards that I used to fish off of, but way faster obviously. I love the seat and the easy to use rudder controls. The pedal drive pulls out easy too. I find myself pulling the drive out and lifting the rudder when I go through some kelp or grass and get riders that I need to let loose. The only downside for some may be that it doesn't have a hatch to store things in. I see that as a plus though since it's foam filled and virtually unsinkable. I love it. It took 3 months of waiting once I paid my deposit at fastlane, but it was truly worth the wait! Hobie engineering is worth every penny.
