Product Review: Eddyline C130 Fishing Kayak

Within the world of kayaking a new subcategory has recently opened up and turned into one of the fastest growing markets: fishing kayaks. About 4-6 years ago kayak manufacturers began making kayaks that were catered more towards an individual looking for a wide stable platform as well as the convenience of holding accessories such as rod holders, fish finders, bait boxes, and more. Many manufacturers have some sort of a kayak that fits this bill. 

Two years ago Eddyline Kayaks developed their first sit-on-top kayak the Caribbean. While being wide and stable it lacked options for adding fishing accessories. The C135 Stratofisher offers an even wider and longer option for paddlers as well as more options catered to the modern fisher. The C135 YakAttack is a 13.5' long 34" wide platform. The great thing about the C135 is that it comes in under 70 pounds which makes it one of the largest and lightest sit on top kayaks on the market! Similar kayaks weigh in on average around 80-90 pounds. 

Accessories: Included with the C135 YakAttack is an exclusive YakAttack BlackPak in Grey, a VisiCarbon Pro for enhanced safety day or night, an intuitive Zooka Tube for securing a spinning or casting rod, paddle clips, and a variety of strategically placed YakAttack GearTracs to enhance the on-water experience.

Another great feature of the C135 is the new Cloud10 Seat. It can be moved into 4 different seating positions as well as moved up and out of the foot pad to allow for standing. Made from anti-microbial foam and mesh this seat breathes well and allows for all day comfort!

Eddyline Kayaks are made out of their patented Carbonlite 2000 material. This is a thermoformed plastic that has great abrasion and impact resistance. They won't warp over time making the kayak a good investment! Eddylines are designed to have a good balance between weight and durability. 

The C135 has been awarded several awards including ICAST 2015 'Best Boat' and 'Best of Show'. It was also included in the Paddling Buyers Guide for 2015 as one of the top fishing kayaks!
