Native Mantaray12 review

This is my first yak but I have to tell you I love it there is nothing like kayak fishing it is addictive I have always loved fishing but this takes it to a new level. I bought mine used its a 2009 I felt safe in it the first time out, the seat is the first thing you notice, very comfortable and has great support I spent 5 hrs in it first time out. I have been in a few other yak's since I bought mine and would not trade it yet it moves through the water with little effort and has great glide to it. Tracks really nice for not having a rudder on it. storage is good and forward hatch does not leak at all the well is big enough for a milk crate and small cooler all you need. the only thing I wish I had was a bigger access hatch between my legs to store a tackle tray or anything else would be great like the ones you see on a hobie. the flat surfaces are great for mounting scotty rod holders or flush mount rod holders. there are no scuppers in the seat area but have not noticed allot of water in the seat area either this yak has plenty of scupper holes to drain any water that may come in. I have taken plenty of water over the bow out striper fishing at night in the chesapeake bay. If your looking for a new yak do yourself a favor and at least try one out before you buy!
