Get a second hand viking or ocean prowler .. can't go wrong and well proven .. also well within your budget]]> Sat, 08 Jun 2024 06:44:34 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839016&title=first-kayak#1839016 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839013&title=first-kayak#1839013 Author: BananaBoat

That brands website has a dedicated fishing pedal kayak which is $1600 (sold out) Ive seen a few of these on the water, but not in rough water conditions

I am guessing the 1200 pedal kayak you're looking at would have stability issues being more of a recreational kayak compared to a fishing pedal kayak

You really need to get on to the facebook kayak fishing pages & ask there. Ive read a few reviews on that brands pedal drive kayaks, both negative & positive.... interesting tho is that some owners didn't like using them in the rough

Inquire about the warranty on the pedal drive mechanism itself & individual parts for servicing

Kayak market is quite subdued with Old Town/Ocean Kayak pulling out of NZ and the fire at the Viking factory. Old Town make some great pedal kayaks, but they are very expensive. I did have a semi-serious look at the Wave Passion kayaks and owners say they are fine if you're well within the maximum stated carrying capacity. ]]> Fri, 07 Jun 2024 17:08:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839012&title=first-kayak#1839012 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839011&title=first-kayak#1839011 Author: Fishing1993

Hi it depends on your budget. A 2nd hand Viking or Oceankayak Prowler would be preferable. Look on Facebook marketplace for good deals.]]> Fri, 07 Jun 2024 13:50:20 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839009&title=first-kayak#1839009 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138609&PID=1839008&title=first-kayak#1839008 Author: Fishing1993
