Old Town

Sportsman Big Water Pedal Kayak

The PDL Drive is a pedal propulsion system designed by Old Town that allows you to move your kayak forward by pedaling, similar to riding a bicycle. This hands-free navigation is especially beneficial for activities like fishing, as it enables you to cast your line and manage your gear without needing to paddle, making your time on the water more enjoyable and efficient.

EVA deck pads are made from a durable foam material that provides excellent cushioning and traction. They help prevent slipping, allowing you to stand comfortably and maintain your balance while fishing or moving around in the kayak. This added stability enhances your overall safety and enjoyment on the water.

Flush-mounted rod holders are built-in features that securely hold your fishing rods when not in use. They are designed to be level with the kayak's surface, preventing snagging and keeping your rods out of the way while you paddle. This design maximizes your space and ensures that your gear is easily accessible when you need it.

The bow hatch is located at the front of the kayak and provides access to a storage compartment. It is designed to keep your gear dry and secure while you’re on the water. You can store items like snacks, extra clothing, or fishing equipment, ensuring that everything you need is conveniently within reach and protected from splashes.

The stern well is a storage area located at the back of the kayak, designed to hold larger items such as a cooler or tackle crate. It often includes bungee cords to secure your gear in place. This feature is particularly useful for anglers who need to bring extra equipment or refreshments, allowing you to maximize your storage capacity while keeping your kayak organized.

Absolutely! While the PDL Drive is excellent for fishing due to its hands-free navigation, it is also perfect for recreational kayaking, exploring waterways, or simply enjoying a leisurely paddle. Its versatility makes it a great choice for anyone looking to enhance their kayaking experience, whether you're fishing, sightseeing, or exercising.
