Description
Jackson Kayak conquers the water with a completely new type of fishing platform. Meet the Knarr FD, a kayak 100% dialed in on the challenges presented by oceans and large lakes. Bring on the surf, current, wind, tide, and the elements - these are the focus of our design.
Working with a team of expert big water, big game, and big tournament anglers, designer Tony Lee hand-shaped the hull with their challenges in mind. The Knarr is crafted for maximum speed, stability, handling surf, and tracking in any weather or water conditions. This remarkable kayak combined with the new FD Mark IV (Patented) makes this our most efficient pedal kayak ever.
Features:
- Our Flex Drive Mark IV (Patented) is the product of four years of constant evolution. The latest version of our Flex Drive is faster, quieter, and more durable than ever before.
- New steering improves turning in any condition. Simple, one or two-handed operation turns easily in big waves or tight spots.
- Tall gunnels provide protected gear storage for rods and gear. The ‘yard sale proof’ rod management system is capable of securing 6 rods inside the kayak’s gunnels, keeping them safe through launching, landing, or when not in use.
- Featuring YakAttack's top-loading geometry, Jackson’s TriTrak (Patented) is factory-installed around the entirety of the boat, providing almost unlimited gearing solutions. Using the channels in the TriTrack, installing electronics, and hiding the cables out of the way is a breeze.
- The bow and stern are designed with trolling and electric motor installation in mind. This is due to an adaptable four-bolt pattern on the stern and a flattened, mountable area on the bow along with geometry to add foot-controlled steering.
- Includes the Jackson Kayak Multibox, a multifunctional tackle, soft plastics and other storage management system.
- Jackson’s new EZ Hi-lo (Patented) seating system takes comfort to new levels and allows you to raise and lower your seat with one hand.
