Jackson Kraken VS Wilderness Systems Thresher - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ewhitney60 · 03-15-2016, 11:59 AM

I'm in the process of searching for my first kayak. I have tested a kraken and a wilderness system and I am torn between the two.

What is everyone's thought of the two?

I am about 240 lbs. and I have a bad back which draws me towards the kraken 15.5 because of the extremely comfortable seat. However, I like the setup of the Thresher 155 as far as the fish finder storage/transducer mount. Neither seem to be a very bad choice however maybe there are other types of kayaks that i should be pursuing?

To give you an idea, I will be doing inland ocean fishing mostly and some bigger lake fishing. Feel free to openly speak of your opinions and experiences!

Thanks Guys,
Evan
