So you like kayak fishing, but you sometimes get a bit uncomfortable? Maybe you wish you were sitting in a comfy chair, not with your legs stretched out flat in front of you? Maybe you wish you could stand up from time to time? And maybe, you wish you didn’t have to always paddle back to shore? The inflatable fishing kayak genie has granted you these three wishes with the StraitEdge Angler Pro kayak. It has all the great features of the StraitEdge Angler, but with a comfy folding chair that sits on a rigid drop-stitch (DS) floor, an extra mounting rail for all your accessories and a fin box that allows you to attach the ElectraFin propeller.

TESTIMONIAL

Durable
The side tubes have covers that are made from PVC tarpaulin. This is an ultra-thick, triple layer material that is very difficult to puncture.
The gray patches on the side tubes are additional reinforcement on top to give added protection from abrasions where you might be hauling a fish over the side.
The floor is made from high-quality drop-stitch, with a non-slip mat over the top. Extremely durable and rigid – ideal for kayak fishing.
The StraitEdge Angler Pro kayak is quite wide across the beam, which means it is very stable.
It also has a drop-stitch (DS) floor that can be inflated to 4-6 PSI, making it quite rigid. Combined with the non-slip traction pad, the DS floor allows you to stand up and see into the water as you fish.
Sit in a Chair While you Fish
Yes, that’s right an actual chair!
If you find it uncomfortable, or even painful to sit with your legs flat in front of you, this chair is a dream.
It’s made of mesh for breathability and quick drying, and it folds up if you want more space to stand.
Fast
Want to go kayaking and really move? The StraitEdge Angler Pro Kayak has a few unique features to help you go fast:
The aluminium ribs in the bow and stern prevent yaw (waggling) and help cut through the water
The rigid drop-stitch floor prevents drag to keep your momentum up as you paddle
The deep water fin (that you can take on or off) will keep you tracking straight, even in choppy water
The extra length means you will zoom through the water!
Advanced Elements have patented this awesome design – you won’t see another inflatable fishing kayak like it on the market.
Mount Heaven
If you like gadgets, you can go to town with both a front AND rear accessory frames.
Hook up your fish finder, your rod holders, your go pro, PLB, anchor … whatever you can think of!
Rail mount diameter is 24.6mm / 1inch
Motor Attachment
Advanced Elements have solved the motor mount problem!
The fin box in the hull allows you to connect the E-propulsion Vaquita battery-powered propeller.
You can sit back and relax after hauling in your catch and let the silent propeller glide you home.
Note – propeller sold separately.
Huge Capacity
If you are a big guy or gal and you want to load your kayak up with lots of gear, you’ve got 180kg of capacity to work with.
Both of the side tubes have velcro straps for attaching fishing rods or your paddle when not in use.
There are also bungee straps across both the front and rear thwarts for strapping on gear.
AND … there are stainless steel d-rings for drift anchor and stringer attachment.
Easily Portable
Want to travel to exciting fishing destinations with your kayak? No problem!
Just pack it up into its bag (included) and throw in your vehicle, boat or even on an airplane!
The StraitEdge Angler Pro Kayak bag comes with removable backpack straps and weighs only 20kg – perfect for easy transport.
Versatile - Open Ocean or Calm Lake
You can open the ports to make this a self-bailing sit-on-top kayak if you are out in choppy conditions.
If you want to stay dry in calm conditions, you can just close the ports.
Set-up Instructions for the StraitEdge Angler Pro Kayak
I've only used it once so far but found it easy to set up and go despite not having kayaked for decades. Your recommendation on this model for me was excellent, versatility to store on my larger boat or throw in the back of the car perfect. Purchasing and delivery a breeze, highly recommended, might look into that electic motor in th future.
