Bite FD Pedal Kayak – Stability, Speed & Fishing Power

Unstoppable Stability and All-Day Comfort

The Bite FD delivers the kind of stability that lets you breathe easier, stand taller, and fish longer. Its ultra-wide 35″ platform gives you the confidence to move, shift, and cast without hesitation. High deck rails and a supportive, ergonomic Comfort Seat 5.0 keep your body relaxed and balanced, even on those marathon days when the water calls from sunrise to dusk. This pedal kayak glides smoothly across lakes, rivers, and inshore saltwater, giving you effortless control and a steady ride that keeps your focus where it belongs—on the next catch. With every outing, you feel more connected, more in command, and more at home on the water.

Hands-Free Fishing Power for Serious Anglers

Built to elevate every cast, the Bite FD comes fully outfitted for anglers who demand more from their gear. Massive front and rear tank wells with bungees swallow crates, coolers, and rods with ease. Gear tracks line the cockpit so you can mount fishfinders, rod holders, and cameras right where you want them. Side-hull tackle recesses keep essentials within arm’s reach without clutter.

At the heart of it all is the Flex Drive Mark IV pedal system—fast, smooth, quiet, and incredibly responsive. You can pedal into perfect position, hold yourself against wind or current, and chase fish without ever putting down your rod. Sneak into shallow zones, slip along structure, or slowly stalk your next trophy… the Bite FD’s hands-free performance gives you unmatched fishing precision.

Built Tough for Exploration and Adventure

This kayak isn’t just tough—it’s designed for real-world adventure. The sealed hull resists water intrusion and keeps unwanted critters out, making prep and cleanup nearly effortless. With a generous 400-lb capacity and manageable weight, you can load up rods, tackle, electronics, and a full cooler without weighing down your day. The stern’s bolt-pattern mount is ready for accessories such as a PowerPole or trolling motor, giving you room to grow your setup as your fishing style evolves.

From calm mornings to windy afternoons, the Bite FD keeps you stable, secure, and ready for whatever the water throws your way. It’s the perfect mix of durability, comfort, and performance—built for anglers who crave freedom and thrive on adventure.
