Ascend Kayaks at Bass Pro Shops: Full Lineup Walkthrough
I walk through every Ascend kayak at Bass Pro Shops, from budget sit-on-tops to fishing hybrids, paddleboards and canoes.
What’s in this video
My family and I went to Bass Pro Shops to look at Ascend kayaks and surprise our daughter for Christmas, so I did a walkthrough of all the Ascend kayaks they had. It was unplanned and last minute.
I start with the budget friendly options, then the mid range 10T series, the hybrid and fishing kayaks, and the FS10 sit-inside. I also cover paddleboards, the more advanced models and the canoes. Overall these kayaks are budget friendly, ready for fishing or camping, usually quite stable and often comfortable for all day use. Most have nice high back fishing seats, while a few budget models have clip in paddle seats.
