The Bite FD uses the 35 in wide Bite hull with a wide open deck that most anglers can stand on. The Flex Drive Mark IV propeller drive gives instant forward and reverse. It comes with the Comfort Seat 5.0, molded-in rod stagers, gear track and molded bow and stern handles that double as lock points.
