Boy, that's a hard question to answer. All three, sit on top kayaks, sit inside kayaks and canoes can be hard to stand and fish from. Some are a lot better than others. It's hard to find any one to be the best for every style of fishing. I have a sit on top Hobie Outback that has the pedals. It is perfect for the style of fishing I do, or at least 95% of what I do.
