Thread: My first kayak. Need opinions

while i cant say any thing about the others that you have mentioned. i can tell ya about the feel free 13 and the sg 130. the feel free 13 is a heavy kayak.and the wheel in the keel is great on hard surfaces but its useless in the sand. as for the sg 130. i have one and its a great kayak. very stable to even where you can even stand and fish from it. and its got plenty of storage. i dont take a create with this kayak. and the best 4 parts of this kayak are. the new upgraded seat, you can fish or just paddle in ether the high or low position and its a very comfortable seat. its comes with a rudder and paddle and best of all the price. and it meets what you are looking for in a kayak
Length: 13' Width: 33" Capacity: 550 pounds Weight: 74 pounds. hope this helps you a bit rob

I found a smoking deal on a Jackson Cruise 12 from a local guy just wanting to get rid of it. It is the angler model, but no rod holders. It has the insert for Ram Balls to install. It also came with an Aqua Bound paddle and a set of sea to summit transport wheels. Hardly a scratch on it. I really wanted a Cuda 14, but this was too good a deal to pass. Though, if another deal comes along, I will pass this one off to my wife and I'll get a bigger one. Did not get a chance to take it out tonight, but hopefully tomorrow.

Take a look at the Pelican Catch 120.
Known for their lower priced basic kayaks, this one has some really nice features for $750. I am still considering my first kayak and this one moved to the top. I especially want one you can stand up in, not so much to stand up but for the stability. Academy sports carries them along with several other big store chains.

You'll like it. Enjoy the ride.

I took it out yesterday and had a blast. Now I just need to get it outfitted as a decent fishing rig.
