Old Town Topwater PDL: 10 ft 6 in Pedal Kayak First Look
I take a look at the Old Town Topwater PDL, a 10 ft 6 in pedal propeller drive fishing kayak, at ICAST 2018.
What’s in this video
The Old Town Topwater PDL is a 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m) pedal kayak with a propeller drive, and I checked it out at ICAST 2018. I wanted to see how a pedal propeller drive works on a shorter fishing kayak like this one.
Here’s what I found: it’s fast on the water and easy to maneuver. If you’re shopping for a compact pedal kayak for fishing, the Topwater PDL is one to put on your list and check out in person.
Quick takeaways
- It's a 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m) kayak with a pedal propeller drive.
- It's fast and easy to maneuver on the water.
