Overview

The Pelican Catch Classic Angler is a sit-on-top fishing kayak built around a tunnel hull design that prioritizes stability above all else. At 10 feet long and 58 pounds, it strikes a practical balance between on-water performance and the realities of solo transport and storage. The tunnel hull creates a wide, flat platform that remains steady even when you stand to cast, and the generous deck space keeps your gear out of the way of your feet. The ERGOCAST CLASSIC seating system adjusts between a high and low position, giving you the option to sit elevated for better sightlines or lower for a more stable center of gravity during rougher conditions.

Fishing-specific features are well thought out for the price class. Two flush-mount rod holders keep your rods secure and accessible, while two 4-inch rigging tracks and two accessory eyelets allow you to mount fish finders, camera mounts, or other accessories. Storage includes a front quick-lock hatch for valuables and a rear tank well with bungee cords for tackle boxes or coolers. Paddle tie-downs, adjustable footrests, and a built-in bottle holder round out the convenience features. The hull is constructed from high molecular weight polyethylene with additional internal flotation that meets or exceeds ABYC safety standards, and the 350 lb maximum capacity accommodates most paddlers along with a reasonable amount of fishing gear.

Key Features

STABLE: The tunnel hull offers amazing stability for a secure and steady ride. It also makes it incredibly easy to get in and out of the kayak. There is also plenty of deck space aboard this fishing kayak to prevent you from tripping on gear as you stand up to cast lines and reel in fish.

COMFORTABLE: The ERGOCAST CLASSIC dual position seating system is one of our most comfortable fishing chairs. It's adjustable to a high or low position and offers different levels of support.

PREMIUM FISHING FEATURES: Bring all your essential gear aboard this fishing kayak thanks to its multiple storage options, including a front quick-lock hatch and a rear tank well with bungee cords. Additional premium features include two flush mount rod holders, two accessory eyelets, and two 4" rigging tracks to set up your accessories. Finally, we added paddle tie-downs for when you need to free your hands, adjustable footrests and a bottle holder for your convenience.

SAFE: Our unique manufacturing process allows us to include additional flotation inside the hull of all of our sit-on-tops in order to meet or surpass ABYC standards. This fishing kayak holds a maximum weight capacity of 350 lb. The kayak's flatter hull design also provides exceptional stability to ensure peace of mind during your ride.

LIGHTWEIGHT: Made of an exceptionally durable high molecular weight polyethylene, our kayaks require less materials to be built. At 10 ft and 58 lb with ergonomic carrying handles, this fishing kayak is easy to transport and store.
