Premium Fishing Gear

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.

Great kayak for the price. Amazingly stable on the water for a person with poor balance. Maneuvers great.
