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 mine about three weeks ago and have been out in it a lot and i absolutely love it. It is the sturdiest kayak I ’ ve ever been in! The PDL drive is easy to pedal and it moves pretty quick too.

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.

There is plenty of storage space and this kayak is very stable and sturdy; I 'm 6' 4 '', 260lbs, had a full cooler and plenty of gear, and had no issue

I bought this kayak last year and could n't be happier. I took it out on a small lake and fished for about 10 hours straight( caught a nice mess of bluegill). I expected my back to get sore, but the seat is so comfortable that I had no issue. I think pedalling is also helpul, as it keeps the blood moving. I ca n't wait to take it out again this spring. There is plenty of storage space and this kayak is very stable and sturdy; I 'm 6' 4 '', 260lbs, had a full cooler and plenty of gear, and had no issue whatsoever. I 'm very happy with my purchase.

Old Town Kayaks are addictive. I started out with a Topwater 120. Then I bought my wife an Old Town Sportsman 106 PDL because she had a hard time keeping up with me as I paddled. I then had to buy myself a Sportsman 120 PDL to keep up with her. These kayaks see a lot of use from long trips around our mountain lakes we live near to hauling them to the Gulf every year for vacation. I am 6 ’ 4 and 220 lbs. and this kayak is stable for enough for me to standup and fish on. No problem with rough waters in the ocean. I have had breakers lapping over the top of the bow and the kayak never loses a step. These are the only kayaks my wife will set foot on. My next step is to add a motor to my original Old Town 120.

The best kayak I have ever owned. I started out with an Ascend FS12T, winds and waves were an issue, not anymore. The OT PDL120 is stable and quick, I am 240lbs and 5 '' 11 male. The kayak is great and confidence on big lakes is super important for obvious safety reasons. I have had water over the bow many times and crashed through 2 foot boat wakes with ease. Thank you Old Town. I will buy another one in the future.

Horizontal rod storage for kayaks refers to the method of securely holding fishing rods in a horizontal position, typically within a kayak or on a storage rack. This storage style is important as it helps prevent damage to the rods and keeps them organized and easily accessible during fishing trips. Proper rod storage can also enhance safety by minimizing the risk of rods becoming entangled or causing obstructions while paddling.
Horizontal rod storage systems are typically made from durable materials such as high-density polyethylene, aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic. These materials are chosen for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand outdoor conditions. Additionally, some systems may incorporate padded or protective elements to further safeguard the rods from scratches or impacts.
When selecting horizontal rod storage for your kayak, consider the size and number of rods you need to store, as well as the available space in your kayak. Look for storage solutions that offer secure mounting options and are compatible with your kayak's design. It's also beneficial to choose a system that allows for easy access to your rods while ensuring they are safely secured during transport.
Yes, horizontal rod storage can be utilized for various types of watercraft beyond kayaks, including canoes and small boats. The versatility of these storage systems allows them to be adapted to different vessels, ensuring that fishing rods are kept organized and protected regardless of the type of watercraft. When using them on different boats, ensure the storage solution is compatible with the specific design and layout.
A freestanding horizontal rod storage rack offers several benefits, including portability and ease of setup. These racks can be placed in various locations, making them ideal for use at home, in garages, or at fishing sites. Additionally, they often provide ample space for multiple rods, keeping them organized and preventing damage while allowing for quick access when needed.
