Some brands are big players in their industries. In the market for fishing kayaks, Old Town is one of the biggest. Here are 12 things you’ll love about Old Town fishing kayaks (though there are many more than these!).
Paddle, Pedal and Power Are Available
There are Old Town fishing kayaks outfitted with both power and pedal drive systems, as well as paddle-exclusive models for purists.
Old Town Fishing Kayaks Are Outfitted with Comfortable, Adjustable Seating
Many Old Town fishing kayaks feature raised, quick-drying, adjustable seating that offers lumbar support, to keep you comfortable during long days on the water.
Rock-Solid Stability
This doesn’t make them an outlier in this industry, but Old Town kayaks still offer rock-solid stability that enables you to stand. Many of them are even outfitted with non-slip EVA deck pads that offer superior traction.
Easy Handling and True Tracking
Old Town fishing kayaks are renowned for easy handling and true tracking nature, and those that are outfitted with PDL drives make it a snap to hold a position – hands-free.
Durable Construction
Most Old Town fishing kayaks are made from rugged single-layer polyethylene which is impact and corrosion resistant, and generally long-lasting.
Tracks for Expanding with Gear
Select models of fishing kayaks are outfitted with gear tracks that make them endlessly expandable.
Rod Holders and Tackle Depots Are Built in
Storage is not a concern when you choose an Old Town. Many have flush mounted rod holders (both forward and reverse mounted for trolling) as well as tons of room for tackle.
There’s Dry Storage
Most Old Town kayaks have at least one dry well or hatch, many have several. This makes it easier to keep your valuables safe.
Hold a Position Easily
In addition to the fact that PDL-drive-equipped models let you hold a position hands-free, many are equipped with shallow water anchor mounts so you can hold a precise position in shallow water.
Both Sit-In and Sit-On Models Are Available
Most modern fishing kayaks are sit-ons and Old Town makes several of them, but they also make sit-in models, too.
…More Than Kayaks Are Available
Old Town makes much more than fishing kayaks, and some of the best canoes in the world sport the Old Town name.
A Rich History
Old Town has a long and colorful history of producing watercraft, traditionally paddlecraft, and has been making canoes and kayaks for well over 100 years.
