BLUE SKY BOATWORKS 360 ANGLER

Of special mention this year is the 360 Angler from Bluesky Boatworks. A Jackson Kayak company, this new 2019 model is claimed to be part bass boat and part kayak, but no matter how you look at it, the 360 is all fishing. It won the Best of Category – Boats and Watercraft at 2018 ICAST and a notable feature is its Flex Drive. This is a prop-driven pedal system designed to deliver hands-free forward and reverse propulsion that can quickly adapt from deep to shallow water navigation without having to move the main pedal drive unit. Some characteristics include a length of 4 m (13.4 ft), width of 121 cm (48 in) and weight of 77 kg (170 lbs) (with seat & drive). It’s also tough and dependable with its Rotomolded Polyethylene construction and anodized marine-grade aluminium hardware found throughout. MSRP: $4,199 CDN www.jacksonkayak.com
