This kayak is for the angler who wants pedals on a budget. If you fish small lakes, ponds, slow rivers, and inshore saltwater and want to keep your hands free for casting, the Bite FD delivers that for hundreds less than premium pedal kayaks. It is a great first pedal kayak and a smart choice for anglers who fish tight, shallow spots.
