The Knarr hull was shaped for surf, current, wind and long-distance travel, and it runs Jackson’s Flex Drive Mark IV propeller drive with forward and reverse. The deck takes a fresh approach to electronics, tackle and gear management. Like all 2026 Jackson fishing kayaks, it ships with the Comfort Seat 5.0 for better posture and support.

Good to know
- At 158 lbs fully set up, plan on a trailer or truck bed plus a cart.
- A long hull like this tracks well but turns wide, so it is a better fit for open water than tight creeks.
KayakDIY take: The Knarr is built for big water, and it shows in how it handles. Read my full Jackson Knarr FD review.
