Lifetime Tamarack kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I actually saw one of them at Costco the other week. Looked very well made and stable, but really nothing I would consider for a fishing rig. Good price at under $400 - I think they were only available in red.

Rocky - you are going to have to give me some tips on bringing the PA to Utah - I'd love to fish there this summer!

Lifetime makes folding PE tables and chairs sold at Costco and other stores.

It made sense for them to branch out with kayak molds a few years a go. Sports Authority carries their line for recreational kayaks for surfing, kid-sized kayaks for lakes, etc.

The Tamarack comes in red for recreational use, and a sand-colored one with a rod holder and a hatch. Can't beat the Lifetime, Perceptions, Pelicans, etc for value priced entry Yaks.

On the other hand, if you want a fishing yak with the extras, I would suggest you save your greenbacks and get a better-outfitted fishing kayak. You'll be glad you did.
