ICAST is always full of hundreds, if not thousands of new baits.
Some of them really stand out from the crowd, others don’t. That’s reality.
One of the things that gets me really excited though, are things that can help us get fishing more. Anything that gets us on the water, having a good time, and catching fish is great in my book.
With the new Pathfinder kayak, that is what the folks over at Freedom Hawk Kayaks have done. We were all over the floor at ICAST, and there was nothing quite like this.
It was truly one of my favorites.
The Pathfinder Kayak
There were several cool items that Freedom Hawk brought to the show, but it is the Pathfinder kayak that has me really excited.
Featuring movable, removable outriggers for stability and ease of use makes this the most versatile kayak I’ve ever seen.
The outriggers can be placed in an inline arrangement, a “Y” arrangement, and a “tucked” arrangement. You can add a seat, a brace for a trolling motor (yeah, a trolling motor!), rod holders, and more.
Here is a kayak that will allow you to stand and cast. The stability that the outriggers offer is amazing. When you are done, they can be removed, which reduces the overall length of the kayak for easier transportation.
Time to start kayaking!
I haven’t been in the market for a new watercraft of any kind in a while, but I am now.
I love the versatility that this kayak offers, and am excited about the prospects of being able to cast or fly cast in a standing position. If you want some more information, or want to find a dealer, check out www.freedomhawkkayaks.com for more information.
