[ This is my go to fishing craft for the ocean. it has a lot of rocker which helps the boat in choppy conditions. I have paddle every kayak imaginable and this is one of the fastest. Its stable with tone of comfort like tracks and a super comfy seat. I spend up to 8 hrs on the water when I go out. I also guide trips out of this boat. it has a high weight capacity, unmatched bomb proof drive, super fast, and stable. I do n't stand up on this kayak but I am sure you could on a calm lake. My favorite boat from Old Town

[ I love the new colors! I really appreciate the price drop+ new features( front hatch and through hull mount) I got this to replace an Old Town Predator( 2020) I bought used off someone. The Predator was way too big for my small car and was a bit annoying to transport to the beach. This is a foot shorter and 15lbs lighter which does n't sound like much but it feels way better. I ca n't think of a single thing to complain about!

[ Purchased in 2021 and have enjoyed it every chance I get! Generally fish the Great Lakes, and it handles the rougher water and beach launching in the surf very well. The peddle drive makes several miles trips out on the water pretty easy, not to mention keeping your hands free from the paddle. Large rear and front wells are great for the dog/ kids to come along. I can walk it down a few blocks to the lake with a small cart with ease, so it's not too difficult to move around.

I have used this kayak for a few weeks now and I am extremely pleased with the Pro upgrades Old Town has made to the 120 PDL. The new features such as larger through hull ports, bow mount capability, and a larger deck make this boat a top option for kayak anglers as well as recreational kayakers. It works great if you want to upgrade as you go with a motor or keep it simple and just get out on the lake with the PDL drive.

[ This new kayak is laid out very well! It was very easy to rig mine out. Bow to stern includes as the upgrades that users have been asking for, from bigger hatch, predrilled wiring ports and power pole mounts on both sides of the stern. You can customize the kayak however you wish without many DIY solutions. I ’ ve decked out mine with gear and love it!

[[ Employee of johnsonwatercraft] I 've had the pleasure of being able to fish out of the PDL 120 Pro a few times now, and it is great! Old Town did an amazing job listening to consumer feedback when doing the redesign of the new features. The kayak has everything I love about the standard PDL models, with all of the new features that I 've been wanting! Still extremely stable and easy to pedal, but now has a ton of new features that make fishing out of a kayak even more enjoyable.

Covid has been a mixed blessing for us, and probably Old Town as well. In our case, with all the lockdowns going on, we and many more have turned to more outdoor sports. As someone who grew up fishing, kayaks quickly got my interest as the best option to get on the water. Thanks to YouTube I quickly discovered pedal kayaking after many hours, combined with the fact that I 'm a Mainer, Old Town rose to the top of the list. I 'm 68 so I wanted the smallest and easiest to move and haul around, so the 106 was a no- brainer. The bad part of Covid was that even in Maine these boats are hard to come by. I wanted 2 of the Photic Sportsman PDLs, but in the end could only find 1, plus the older identical boat, the Boreal Topwater. There's not much difference, except the new Sportsman seat is great for a large guy like me rather than the older Topwater seat. Ice went out on my small trout pond 2 weeks ago, and I 've been out every nice day so far, ca n't wait to get on a bigger lake! These boats are so stable, ca n't wait to try standing and casting!

I bought this 3 weeks ago but the cold weather and water in New England kept me off the water until today. What a pleasure. My last kayak was a good one. It was a 13 fooot LLBean rebranded Perception sit in kayak with a better than average seat and two rod holders. It was a good kayak but for fishing it lacked. Plenty stable for kayaking but don ’ t reach too far for that 2. 5 lb bass. Don ’ t ask mee how I know.. I am 6 ’ 3 ” ”, 240 lbs( yes my doc doesn ’ t like that) and 66 years old. I found the Sportsman 106 PDL to my a dream. Much easier to in and out of, I can move around and really enjoyed the 3 hours I was out on a lake today. The pedals gave me a good work out. I loved the instant forward/reverse which allowed me to effortlessly hold the kayak in position while a I fished. There was slight breeze which didn ’ t seem to affect the handling. I will report later on a windier day. There was a bass tournament on the lake today and unlike my last kayak, this one handles the wakes from the 200 hp boats wit aplomb whether the wake hit the stern, bow or sides. Just makes me feel a whole lot more confident. As for stability, I stepped off the dock into the kayak and sat down. I was amazed. I did not try stand up as as one gets older ones stability on terrafirma is not as good as it used to be). I enjoyed this day of fishing( although I wish I good brag about the fish I caught) more than any day in a kayak. I was comfortable and could easily move about the boat. That PDL system is awesome. I did paddle through shallow water with PDL raise and yes you get some water in the boat but it goes out the scuttles. The two tool wells in the cockpit area are a small thing but make a bid difference. It was great to have the hook remover, fisherman ’s tool, line cutter etc close at hand. Small thing but great idea. Awesome boat Old Town. Thank you I hope to get years of pleasure out of this.

I am a 78 yr old who recently purchased his first kayak, the Sportsman 106 PDL. I was looking for a kayak to primarily use for nature photography. Considering my age and this would be my first ever kayak, stability was a primary requirement. I wanted to feel comfortable and safe, especially with expensive cameras and lenses. After much online research, I narrowed to Old Town and a couple of other brands. I completed my research with phone calls to the brand customer service reps. Ken Stinson was especially patient with my questions, listened to my desires and concerns and offered honest pros and cons of the Old Town products as related to my stated need. As a result of my online research and Ken's advice, I purchased a Sportsman 106PDL. So far I have had it out four times, all in good weather and water conditions. I quickly found my sweet spot for easy continuous peddling. The kayak has amazing stability, allowing me to twist and turn with confidence to get the shot. I also stood in it my first time out and was very surprised at the stability, although I doubt I will stand while shooting. The peddling, with instant reverse allows me to keep my hands free to catch those quick shots. At 101/2 ft, it fits in the bed of my Ford Ranger pickup. My nature photography and kayaking friend has been amazed by my Sportsman PDL. So far my Sportsman 106PDL has exceeded my expectations.

Much nicer than the Scotty product, and if you get the Starport HP mount instead, a much lower profile mount if you ’ re doing a non- fishing trip and don ’ t need the holder mounted. The included mount can be used in either a low profile( more hole cutting, more secure) or high profile setting. I have one mounted in front of me, and the adjustable angle means I can switch it to vertical, and troll with a rod in front of me instead of behind. Gimble at the base caters for different length rod handles. Secure lock on base. Bought more of them.

This is the 4th Lifetime Kayak I ’ ve owned. It ’s by far the most stable which is crucial for somebody such as myself who frequently has one of my young kids or my petite Labrador retriever abroad. Sometimes both at the same time. I can comfortably maneuver around to grab/move gear around while on the water. The seat is very comfortable which makes it ’s easier when paddling for long periods of time. The only thing I ’ d change is the weight of the kayak. Aside from that, I highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering it for leisurely paddling, fishing, or even hunting out of

[ The manta angler exceeded my expectations. I have owned 2 other kayaks and this is the first kayak I didn ’ t feel like was going to tip over when I am in choppy water or catch waves from bigger boats, which is important to me because I usually fish bigger bodies of water. I stood up in it and casted and felt very comfortable doing it. I like where Lifetime placed the wheels on this because it is easy to move around on solid ground and the kayak doesn ’ t want to tip over because how far apart they placed them. The Manta is surprisingly easy to paddle for how big it is and tracks very well. My favorite feature is the four rod holders on the back. I put a fishing net in one of them and put three rods in the others. I like that I can keep the rods out of my way while paddling to my spots and can easily get to them when I am ready to fish.

I had the opportunity to be chosen to receive and review the new Manta Angler from Lifetime Products. Took it out for a couple hours before we got rained out. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of paddling and how well it tracked. I expected it to be more cumbersome with the width and shape but it performed alot better than anticipated. It even glided with decent momentum when not paddling. Same thing with turning. I did n't have a problem maneuvering it around. The stability standing up was amazing. I felt quite comfortable moving around and never felt `` tippy, '' or like I had to compensate for balance. The stand assist strap is great. I really like the front bar for an anchor and like the addition of the 2 pole holders behind the seat to make 4. I 'll probably use the extra to put my nets. The handles we 're great for loading/ unloading. The wheels underneath are nice for ease of maneuvering around while getting ready, but I would question the longevity of the plastic material and would n't rely on it too much for long- distance transport. The rear storage well did seem a little shallow upon first look, but after taking it out, I feel the stability makes up for that. It does have a ton of space and overall deckspace, which is awesome. I 'll probably add a couple of padeyes to the center of the kayak to hook stuff to. The gear tracks are made of plastic but feel solid. The front gear tracks and rod holders are a little too forward to comfortably reach on the water but could be used for different things or Gopros when banked. Same concept with the front hatch, but that's typical with front storage on all kayaks. The stability DOES allow you to crawl forward and reach them or reach them while standing. The adjustable footpeg design and being able to adjust the distance while sitting is great. The trolling motor mount I have n't installed yet( I dont own a trolling motor) is a great feature as I see a lot of people rigging their kayaks trying to figure out how to mount one.( I might actually buy one now that im getting older.) I did choose to use the paddle that came with it because, well they 're nice enough to provide one and was actually quite impressed with it. Lifetime stepped their game up with the paddle. I felt little to no flex and never felt the need to switch to the spare paddle I brought. Overall, I really like the kayak and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. I feel they definitely hit the nail on the head for what it's advertised as. A super stable fishing kayak at a great price.

My Old Town Autopilot 136 in gray Ghost Limited Edition arrived yesterday. Was wrapped nicely in heavy gauge plastic to protect it. After unwrapping and looking it over I found the Kayak to be of very thick and well- built materials. It is a heavy craft but the quality is amazing. Customer service was very easy to deal with and quite helpful getting me the answers I needed. Very spacious kayak and lots of room for everything I want to add. Cons- I wish they gave an option for aluminum rails to replace the plastic ones. Though the plastic ones are strong I just like heavy duty for fish finders etc. I also wish they would list the model number of the included trolling motor to make it easier for looking up spare or backup parts. Would I recommend this kayak to friends? without a doubt.

The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has truly revolutionized my fishing experience! After owning this kayak for several years, I can confidently say it ’s worth every penny. The standout feature for me is the Minn Kota trolling motor with Spot- Lock technology. Being able to anchor in place with the push of a button, regardless of wind or current, has allowed me to focus entirely on fishing instead of constantly adjusting my position. The stability of this kayak is unparalleled, giving me the confidence to stand and cast without worry. Its spacious deck and makes it a breeze to organize all my gear, while the comfortable seat ensures I can spend long days on the water without fatigue. What truly sets the Sportsman Autopilot apart is how it transforms the way I approach fishing. I can cover more water efficiently and position myself perfectly for each cast. Whether I 'm exploring new waters or revisiting my favorite spots, this kayak makes every outing more productive and enjoyable. If you 're serious about fishing and want a reliable, feature- packed kayak that will elevate your experience, the Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 is a game- changer. I can ’ t recommend it enough!

[ As an angler that has fished in several brands of kayaks I couldn ’ t be more happy with the Autopilot. Having a spotlock enabled motor already integrated in the kayak and not having to fumble around with extra wiring and aftermarket products makes a huge difference. Also the Ember color is very visible from long distances. The kayak is very stable, relatively quiet, and just all around cool!

I ’ ve had this kayak for a month and it ’s my favorite kayak I ’ ve owned! It ’s extremely versatile, from fishing small skinny rivers to large open bodies of water. The cockpit is very spacious and the drainage is well thought out. It ’s built like a tank just like all the Old Town ’s I ’ ve owned. It ’s bone dry inside the hull after every trip. Sit or stand, it ’s very stable and tracks well, especially with the upgraded rudder kit. I ’ d highly recommend the foot steering to go with this kayak. It equals more casts on the water and( hopefully) catching more fish! The ability to motorize this kayak with bow or stern motors or just paddle makes this the most versatile kayak I ’ ve had the pleasure of using on the water. 5 stars!

Very exciting update to the Sportsman lineup. Always been a big fan of Old Town's paddle kayaks because they offer stability with performance and rigability. This one takes that a step further as you 're able to rig the kayak in WHATEVER way you see fit. It's awesome to be able to mount the Stern motor and also have a quick on- and- off option for a bow- mounted motor like the Minn Kota when you want. After spending a couple of months in mine, I love how comfortable it is and how much space it has in the hatch. Definitely has made the longer days on the water much more manageable.

Kayak Fishing Wisconsin
I was able to try this kayak for a day, and this is what I found. Three things stood out to me right away. Large open cockpit, tons of metal track front and back as well as bow and stern ready mounting locations for motors. The kayak I used was rigged out with a Minn Kota Kayak Terrova Bow- Mount Electric Trolling Motor with GPS – 55 Lb. Thrust, the optional and IMO definitely recommended rudder system and a Mega Live 2 with a 9 '' explore unit. First stepping into this kayak, I felt good stability with no problems standing to cast or setting the hook. There was room for gear in the back, under the comfortable seat and of course plenty of room in the cock pit. This kayak moved well with the Terrova and had great maneuverability especially in combination with the rudder. I feel this kayak is a great option as an introductory kayak to just paddle but can grow with you should you desire to rig it out with a motor or any other electronics. It really gives you a lot of options with an easy to rig and sturdy platform.

I ’ ve spent a lot of time in different fishing kayaks, and the Sportsman 120 Pro is one of the most well- rounded platforms I ’ ve used. What stands out to me is how much usable space you get without the kayak feeling oversized or difficult to manage. The stability is excellent, especially when standing and fishing, and the layout gives you plenty of room to customize the kayak around the way you actually fish. I really like the under- seat storage, the amount of track space available for accessories and electronics, and the open deck that makes it easy to move around without everything feeling crowded. For me, one of the biggest advantages of the 120 Pro is that it gives you a great foundation to build from. Whether you want to keep things simple or add electronics, power, storage, a bow- mounted motor, and other accessories, there ’s plenty of flexibility to make the kayak your own. Overall, the Sportsman 120 Pro feels stable, comfortable, capable, and thoughtfully designed for anglers who spend a lot of time on the water. It ’s a kayak I ’ d feel comfortable recommending to both newer kayak anglers and experienced anglers looking for a platform they can grow into.

The Pelican Catch Classic 100 weighs only 58 pounds and slides easily on and off my truck. Plus, I 've already caught a lot of fish. I use a seat cushion that adds about 3 inches to the chair of the kayak and puts me up a bit higher. The kayak is great for about 2- 2. 5 hours of fishing.

Flush mount rod holders for kayaks are designed to securely hold fishing rods in place while you paddle or fish. They provide a stable and convenient way to keep your rods accessible without taking up valuable space in your kayak. This allows for hands-free fishing and enhances your overall fishing experience on the water.
When selecting a flush mount rod holder, consider factors such as the type of fishing you'll be doing, the size of your kayak, and the rod types you plan to use. Look for holders that offer adjustable angles and secure mounting options to ensure compatibility with your kayak's design. Additionally, consider the material and durability of the holder to withstand various water conditions.
Yes, flush mount rod holders are generally designed for easy installation on kayaks. Most holders come with mounting hardware and instructions, making it straightforward to attach them to the kayak's hull. However, it's important to ensure that you have the right tools and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for a secure fit.
Flush mount rod holders are typically made from durable materials such as high-grade plastic or stainless steel, which resist corrosion and wear from exposure to water. These materials provide strength and longevity, ensuring that the rod holders can withstand the rigors of fishing and the elements. It's essential to choose a holder made from quality materials for optimal performance.
Most flush mount rod holders are designed to accommodate a variety of rod sizes and styles, making them versatile for different fishing applications. Look for holders with adjustable features that can securely grip various rod diameters. This flexibility allows you to use your preferred fishing rods without needing multiple holders.
Flush mount rod holders offer several advantages, including a sleek design that minimizes clutter on your kayak and a low profile that reduces the risk of snagging. They provide a secure and stable way to hold your rods, allowing for hands-free fishing. Additionally, their installation can be more permanent, offering enhanced durability compared to other types of rod holders.
