This kayak is designed for some of the most challenging paddling environments in the world and meant to be for the offshore and big lake kayak angler. This kayak marks the first collaborative design between legendary kayak angler, Jim Sammons and Jackson Kayak's design team led by Tony Lee. The end result is a boat shaped and built to accommodate those hitting the open water, those looking for speed, comfort, perfect trim and big water management. It's a paddlers fishing kayak! It's designed for punching surf, handling rough off shore currents, swells, beach landings and those wanting ultimate performance when putting in long distances to get on fish. The Kraken is also about landing big fish and will handle the weight, the gear, positioning equipment and managing the process. It accommodates live bait challenges, rod storage, fish finders and will come equipped with gear boxes (Plano Ammo-style box and custom JKrate) and, like all Jackson fishing kayaks, be ready to fish. "I have been waiting for a "Paddlers" fishing kayak that has all the features I need, can carry me and all my gear and is a joy to paddle for miles and miles and the Kraken is that boat." – Jim Sammons "The Kraken was a fun one to design, mostly because the core mandate was to build a great paddling boat for fishing, instead of a fishing boat we can paddle. The end result was pretty much all our design experience pulled together into one VERY awesome paddling kayak!" – Tony Lee. With all the challenges of the open water and big game, the Kraken will come with a truly unique set of features:
