Sure, it's not as nice as the $1500 ones, but with a few modifications of your choosing, it's a very fishable kayak. I wouldn't recommend trying to stand up in it and fish, but I think it makes up for that with its lack of weight and ease of paddling.
The foot pegs are terrible and pop out of the tracks, but with a little garage engineering, I fixed mine. I also replaced the seat, although the original really wasn't as bad as it looked to me. Other additions I made include: full length anchor trolley, milk crate with lid and rod holders, fish/depth finder, and horizontal rod holders.
Anyway, if you have a lot of disposable income, there are better kayaks. If you're on a budget, the Talon is well worth the money and will get you fishing. Personally, I like mine more than most of the kayaks I've seen for double the price.
