Description
With years of innovation and design, the all-new Bonafide River RVR119 Fishing Kayak is finally here. The RVR119 was built for the explorer, built for the hardcore river fisherman. You need the right kayak for the job when accessing those hard-to-reach places. One that is outfitted with the proper tools and design that will enhance your experience and allow you to catch more fish. The focus of the RVR119 is its hull-ability, mobility, and fishability.
The design of this kayak features a raised bow and stern, similar to that of a drift boat. This design allows you to navigate moving water coming from either direction. Excelling in current and moving water, this innovative hull design features a drop skeg system. When the skeg is deployed, you enable the ability to track straight across the water. When the skeg is retracted, the hull becomes a maneuverable river kayak in a fast-moving current. Designed to bounce and run over objects while afloat on your favorite river, this hull was explicitly made for this terrain.
Getting your kayak to and from the water and toward your favorite fishing spot requires maneuverability. The RVR119 kayak measures 11ft 9" in length and 35" wide and weighs only 85 lbs making it lightweight without sacrificing size and top-quality features. With six grab handles placed strategically around the boat, loading and unloading your kayak is easier than ever. Slotting perfectly in a truck bed that utilizes the handles as tie-down points. Easily attach a drag strap to the kayak and walk or drag your kayak on the trail or in the water.
What good is the hull without the top-of-the-line features and components equipped on the RVR119? Designed and built with an integrated Anchor Wizard anchoring system at the bow and stern. With mounting plates at the cockpit for easy access, the cables are run internally along the kayak eliminating potential snags or tripping hazards while in tight quarters. The fully removable SS pod provides dry storage when needed or equips you with your favorite graph and transducer set up in one compact portable design. The spacious and open cockpit design provides space to fish and room to lay out and organize your rods. With storage capability at the bow and the stern, you can easily slot your YakAttack BlackPak Pro, which provides additional tackle and rod storage. With additional mounting points and gear tracks located around the kayak, you are left with a variety of options to add your favorite mounts and accessories. The RVR119 is also ready to be equipped with your Power-Pole Micro Anchor and your Torqeedo motor. With the proper accessory mounting plate, you can equip this to be the ultimate fishing machine without interfering with other accessories.
The Bonafide River RVR119 kayak is built for the swift, shallow water you venture onto. River anglers for years have been looking for the perfect river-specific kayak, and Bonafide has knocked this one out of the park with this one. An innovative design that is equipped with the latest features allows you to compile the ultimate river monster!
