This is a great beginner kayak, however it also has a lot to offer the more experienced kayaker as well. I use this kayak to fish slow to moderate moving rivers. The carring capacity is great. The cockpit is huge and gives plenty of room to manuver or landing of fish. This kayak is not very heavy and I can easily carry this kayak and all of my fishing gear at the same time. I am a bass fisherman so I do take quite a bit of tackle. I really like this kayak and would recommed it to anyone getting into the sport. It is perfectly at home on a pond or lake and can also handle slow to moderately fast rivers. This is a great kayak for freshwater fishing and the price can not be beat.
