Who the Loon 106 Angler Is For
This boat fits anglers who want a light, easy kayak for ponds, small lakes, and calm rivers. If you launch solo and don’t want to wrestle a heavy boat onto the roof, the 54 lb weight is a big win. It’s also a great pick for beginners, since the sit-inside design feels secure and the huge cockpit doesn’t trap you in. Cold-weather anglers will like sitting lower and more sheltered from wind.
Stability
The Loon 106 Angler has a wide, forgiving hull for a 10’6″ sit-inside. The extra width and volume keep it stable when you reach for gear or turn to grab a rod. It’s not a stand-up platform like the bigger sit-on-tops, but for seated fishing it’s steady and predictable. The sharp keel line helps it track straight instead of wandering.
Seat and Comfort
The Active Comfort System 2.0 seat is the best part of this boat. It adjusts easily, has thick padding with ventilation so you don’t get swampy on hot days, and supports your legs on long paddles. Thigh pads match the seat padding, and the foot brace system adjusts to your leg length. The 56″ x 23″ cockpit is roomy enough that you never feel squeezed in.
Storage and Rigging
The removable workdeck is a clever feature. It gives you built-in storage and a USB port to keep your phone charged on the water. A Click Seal stern hatch with a bulkhead keeps dry gear separated from the cockpit. Bow and stern bungees hold extra gear, and flush-mount rod holders are built in. The anchor trolley system lets you position the boat in current or wind, which is rare at this size and price point.
Paddle Performance
The Loon 106 Angler paddles the way Old Town’s recreational hulls always have: easy and forgiving. It’s zippy enough to cover a small lake, turns quickly in tight spots, and the sharp keel line keeps it from spinning in circles like cheaper short boats do. At 10’6″ it’s nimble in creeks and easy to maneuver around docks and laydowns.
Honest Drawbacks
The 325 lb capacity limits bigger anglers with a lot of gear, so check your total load. Sit-inside kayaks aren’t self-bailing, so you’ll want a bilge pump or sponge if waves come over. The shorter length means it won’t glide like a 12-footer on open water. And the workdeck’s USB port needs your own battery pack, which isn’t included.
