With so many built-in fish-catching features, we didn't have a choice but to give this kayak a 500-pound capacity.And, by the way, you can only get it at West Marine.Did we really say this kayak will hold a quarter of a ton counting you, all your gear and your day's catch We did. We also said it had many built-in fish-catching features. Our Pompano 115 STX Sit-On-Top Angler Kayak was designed for serious fishermen and fisherwomen. The kind that can tell how large a bass is going to be just from the size of swirl it makes going after their topwater buzzbait.With a load capacity usually reserved for pack mules, the Pompano 115 STX provides such a stable ride, you'll find yourself standing up to sight cast and fight fish with confidence. We've even made it easy to stand up by adding an assist strap. When you do sit down (like when you're cruising across the lake to be first on the prime fishing spots), you'll notice the premium high-back seat is padded and adjusts for your paddling comfort and efficiency. The seat can be moved forward to paddle, aft for more standing room or totally removed for storage and transport. You will also appreciate the adjustable foot brace system that allows you to not only adjust for your leg length, but to change your leg positions for optimal paddling and then shift positions or stretch out during the day as needed.We also added one of the handiest features to the Pompano 115 STX since we started shipping kayaks to the store of your choice for free.

Just make sure you arrive at the store to pick it up with a vehicle and/or rack that will accommodate your new 11'6", 76-pound fishing partner (we wouldn't remind you to do this if it didn't happen more often than you'd think). So what new feature did we include A removable electronics pod.What's the big deal about this removable electronics pod Try zero, as in nada, draft after the transducer is mounted. That means your transducer won't catch on weeds or other debris in even the shallowest of waters. Setting up your fishfinder is quite simple. Just install the fishfinder on top of the pod, secure the battery inside the pod and attach
