TRAK Kayaks

Does anyone have any experience with these for fishing? A bit pricey but seems like an interesting concept.

It looks like Trailhead in Ottawa is a distributor.

Definitely an interesting boat if you're in the market for a packable expedition kayak. I think the traditional closed cockpit style would make fishing from it a little difficult though.

I've seen these (or a similar kind) in an outdoors store here in Yokohama. I don't recall the cost which leads me to believe it wasn't out of the ordinary for a yak. The frame appears light but sturdy and it looks like a normal yak once assembled.

The pack is rather bulky, more suited to throwing in the back of a van or a pick-up....not sure it would fit in the trunk of your car. I agree with Todd, the closed style might make it a bit awkward to jump out occasionally to do some wading.

it those look like a great kayak..great quality.

but pricey..my 2 cents.



if you look into that link.

the 1600 models would be like 4000$...a good amounth off $$$$..

but qualily is there.

but if somebody is looking for a fishing kayak.

better go see gwright(Float, Paddle and Fly ) and will get something that will be a bit better for fishing and for that price you can get a couple off them. all rig up to.

The portability intrigued me. However they are expensive so probably not in the budget.

there is a lot other model off portable kayaks that are cheaper.

and dont get me wrong some off inflatable kayaks are very portable and very stabile and fun.

can put them just about anywhere.

and they go down falls and rapids so tuff to.
