I bought the Ascend FS10 Sit-in from Bass Pro in Springfield, MO on 2/28/15 during a nasty blizzard. I couldn't wait for the thaw but, it gave me time to rig the kayak with a fish finder and an anchor system. I've fished the Big Piney, Little Piney, Gasconade, Meramec, and Niangua rivers, Lake of the Ozarks, and several small local lakes and ponds with this kayak with awesome results! The "sit-in" can be somewhat cramped but, I'm the type who loads every type of lure and rod/reel I think I might need for that particular season and after all, it is only a 10 footer. This kayak is very stable and tracks extremely well. Whoever said that this kayak doesn't track well apparently needs to fine tune his paddling technique. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my choice.
