When you’re in shallow water, weedlines, debris-filled areas or rivers, options for propeller drives that are more helpful than frustrating are limited. Jackson Kayaks' one-of-a-kind Mark IV Flex Drive not only survives these situations, but thrives.

Chad Brock from Jackson Kayaks joins us to walk through their fishing kayak lineup and revolutionary Flex Drive. We talk about and get closer looks at the:

- Jackson Knarr FD
- Jackson Big Rig FD
- Jackson Coosa FD
- Jackson Coosa X
- Jackson Bite
- Jackson Bite FD

We also take an in-depth look at Jackson Kayaks’ Mark IV Flex Drive. The Flex Drive stands alone as the sole pedal drive system in the market featuring an auto-retracting lower unit for shallow waters, a versatile three-position dagger board, and a sealed pedal system that operates seamlessly in both forward and reverse. With a prop that can be deployed in three stages including tucked up inside the hull and a removable top unit while the bottom unit remains in the kayak, you can easily choose when to bring your pedal drive or not. Check it out for yourself and drop us a comment on what you think!

We discuss the pros & cons of Big Fishing Kayaks vs. Small fishing kayaks. Does fishing kayak length play a role in stability, comfort, tracking and speed? How do you know what size of fishing kayak is right for you? Whether you are looking for a fishing kayak with a motor or a fishing kayak with pedals, size plays another key factor in how you should choose your fishing kayak.

We talk about how fishing kayak length, width, weight and hull design play a key factor in:

• Fishing kayak stability
• Fishing kayak storage
• Fishing kayak tracking
• Fishing kayak transportation
• Fishing kayak comfort
• Fishing kayak capacity & gear storage

We also discuss the questions you should ask when researching which kayak is best for you. What type of water will you be on most and how do you want to propel your kayak (paddle, pedal, power) are just a few questions we want you to think about when choosing the best fishing kayak for you. Check out the full video as we weigh the pros & cons of long fishing kayaks, short fishing kayaks, wide, heavy and light fishing kayaks.
