Big Rig

BIG RIG for a BIG GUY. I'm a 6'7" 370lb little guy :). I recently bought a 2019 Big Rig HD and absolutely love this thing. I never thought I would feel this stable/comfortable on a kayak ever! Just like most big guys I do have lower back problems but I feel completely comfortable in this seat, in both the upper and lower positions. I actually prefer the upper position. If you happen to be a slightly larger than average individual like myself I highly recommend to at least do a demo ride and feel the comfort for yourself. P.S I am able to stand up with ease!

Not my first kayak, But this is my first Jackson kayak. I'm no little person by any means at 6' and 355 lbs. This thing still floats in very shallow water. While the Big Rig is no light weight or a speed demon it gets the job done in comfort.

I will trailer it to make it easier to handle alone, But for now I can get it on and off the roof rack alone.(figure out a rope trick)

The Big Rig has lots of storage, and once I get home I just pack everything up in the kayak and it's all right there waiting for me next time I go out. For me it tracks and paddles straight even without a rudder. It's a smooth ride easy to get in and out of.

This is opening up bunch of new fishing spots for me. I absolutely love fishing out of it.

If you're a bigger person I would say go try one on for size, you have nothing to lose and I would bet you'll buy it.

The big rig is the second kayak I've owned and it is great the seat is good on my back its super stable I stand and fish out of it. At 6' 285# not many kayaks handle my weight, gear, and big feet well. It is a little heavy to load alone but watching the jackson kayak video on YouTube it's not as bad as I first thought. It's no speed demon on the water but it tracks very well it also doesn't catch as much wind as I figured it would.

I was almost killed at work - a 3000 lbs steel pipe fell from overhead and I ended up with exposed spinal cord, shattered pelvis ,compound fractured ankle and leg, shattered elliac creast,and other stuff. I had to sell my sit-in-side Pungo 120 due to back issues and not being able to sit low for extended periods.

My new Big Rig from Jackson is perfect, I can sit and have free movement and stand when needed, the stand up bar is great now that my balance is off. It's heavy but with my low trailer and kayak dollies I am good with help. It paddles like a lighter kayak, has extra space for gear, fishes like a dream, I am glad I chose the big rig and have never regretted it. I would recommend the rudder attachment and a electric motor to anyone in my condition or older folks, I call it my handicap kayak, but hey I still can get out and enjoy life so that makes this kayak a winner in my book.

I know it was probably designed for the heavier kayakers out there but it is a dream for slow rivers and lakes,my dad has one also he has been retired for several years so be is getting up there in age but loves his Big Rig also.

I purchased the Jackson Big Rig this summer in order to use it for fishing on lakes and small rivers. It has exceeded my expectations. It is the best Kayak that I know of for standing up in and fly fishing or Bass fishing. It has one of the most comfortable seats on the market, and the design and layout is perfect for any type of fishing.

Although it is fairly large, I had no trouble keeping up with my friends when there are two people in a canoe paddling hard. My only issue with it is that it is fairly heavy, but I am still able to load it myself on top of my SUV. Otherwise, it is the perfect fishing platform.
