The Best New Single or Tandem Inflatable Fishing Kayak
The newly redesigned Blackfoot Angler is a complete game changer for inflatable fishing kayaks. Designed for comfort and stability. The boat is decked out with the new AG Framed Seat with high or low settings and has plenty of room to add an optional second seat for tandem paddling. 9 Universal Mounting plats are included for adding a variety of fishing pole holders, bait tables, action cameras and more. The 40″ wide Inflatable Drop-stitch hard bottom floor with EVA traction pad allows for a comfortable and stable standing platform for casting. The cockpit and deck bungees allows for plenty of storage room for fishing tackle, dry bags, coolers and other gear. For extra storage and optional gear, the new Aquaglide Mollie Plates and mesh bags are perfect for extra storage or the optional Aquaglide Cup Holder, tool bags and first aid kits.
The Blackfoot is made of single layer commercial grade Duratex material and welded seams for lightweight and durability. A fish ruler is printed on the pontoon for easy access. The Drop-stitch inflatable hard bottom floor is made in the same way as an inflatable Stand Up Paddle and allows for a stable solid standing area as well as giving the kayak increased glide, durability and rigidity. New for 2021, Aquaglide has added EVA deck pad for added traction. 5 Scupper drains in the floor allow for quick easy drainage and allows for the kayak to be paddled on lakes, rivers or even mild whitewater. The bow and stern is outfitted with a durable nose cone to protect the nose from damage and includes an easy to carry handle and universal accessory mount for, anchor systems or action cameras. The built-in splash guard helps keep the cockpit dry while paddling. A universal US Fin Box allows for interchangeable fins to fit your paddling conditions. Included is an tool less fin screw and plate for easy installation of the the Aquaglide Posi-track Weed-less Fin for effortless tracking.
The AG Framed Seat allows for a high or low sitting position. Setting the seat to the higher level allows for better visibility and easy casting while the lower seat position will be more stable. The breathable back rest with built in storage pocket is fully adjustable with two easy straps. The under seat shelf is perfect for storing tackle boxes and other easy to access items. The seat can easily be removed for a beach chair while on land.
The Aquaglide Fishing Cooler is included with Blackfoot. The soft cooler features 4 built in fishing rod holders, front pocket, zippable storage area for maps and paperwork as well as velcro on the bottom to secure to the floor of the kayak.
River Crossing 173L Storage Backpack comes with all Blackfoot model kayaks and features a fully zippered bag with outer paddle pocket comes with mesh side panels for drainage and breathability. For easy carry, padded shoulder and waist straps they can be easily stowed away when not in use. Eternal straps for attaching the AG Framed Seat. This allows for clean easy transportation and storage. The River Crossing bag even can be checked in as luggage on a flight.
The Aquaglide inflatable kayaks are the way to go. They are extremely well performing kayaks that are not only durable but lightweight, easy to transport and require very little room to store.
