A 12 foot pedal fishing kayak from Old Town with the PDL drive and the stable DoubleU hull. A good fit for anglers moving up from a paddle boat who want hands-free fishing on lakes and calm water.

The Topwater 120 PDL pairs Old Town’s forward and reverse PDL drive with a 36 inch wide DoubleU hull that is stable enough to stand on. You get an ElementAir seat, three molded-in rod holders, EVA deck pads, a sealed bow hatch, an oversized stern tankwell and a universal transducer mount for your fish finder.

Specs at a glance

  • Length: 12 ft

  • Weight: 116 lbs
  • Capacity: 500 lbs total, 384 lbs usable
  • Drive: PDL, instant forward and reverse

Good to know

  • The 116 lb weight includes the pedal console and seat, so pull both out before you lift it.
  • The universal transducer mount makes adding a fish finder simpler, but the electronics themselves are a separate purchase.

KayakDIY take: I think the PDL drive’s instant reverse is one of the most useful things you can have when you are trying to hold on a spot. Read my full Old Town Topwater 120 PDL review.
