With the trend in price point fishing kayaks tending towards compromise in hull quality, performance, gear management, and comfort, Jackson Kayak’s Bite Rec doesn’t cut corners. The Bite performs to the high bar of paddling and standing standards associated with the Jackson Kayak name. New for 2021, the Bite has been upgraded to the Comfort Seat, which is the perfect combination of breathability, drainage and comfort in a framed seat not traditionally found on price point kayaks. The open-concept deck gives the paddler one of our roomiest platforms to stand and shoot photos, or simply stretch. Ample storage fore and aft, paired with our updated bungee attachment system which prevents water from seeping into the hull, means there is plenty of storage space. Four recessed areas on either side of the Bite Rec make quick, easy and secure storage for small boxes. Four molded-in inserts on the stern of the kayak will accept our newly developed Accessory Mounting Bracket, designed to accommodate accessories with the four bolt mounting pattern such as a PowerPole or Torqeedo trolling motor. The Bite Rec is the perfect combination of comfort, smart and innovative design offered as a great value for recreational paddlers. Its at home across a diverse variety of waterways including small lakes and rivers, ponds, streams and inshore saltwater. Asking yourself what the difference is between the Bite Angler and the Bite Rec? The Bite Angler includes flush mount rod holders while the Bite Rec does not.
