FAQs:
Does this kayak support a transducer? Works with my fish finder
Does the Kayak have rear scupper holes so a scupper kayak cart can be used? Yes
Does this kayak come with a rotor; or can I install one if it doesn't? It has no rudder but one can be installed
Does the kayak come as shown with paddles and seats? I've noticed that some online sales show paddles and seats but they are not included. Yes, the one we ordered did come with paddles and seats. However, the seats are not very comfortable so we had to add padding.
What We Like
- Besides the paddle rests, this kayak has four flush-mount rod holders, two pouches for storage, and rear cargo storage.
- A few fishing yaks on the market provide a stable casting platform but are too wide for paddling or long distances. That isn't the case with the BKC UH-TK.
- Even better, padded seats and lightweight aluminum paddles are included, items that many other kayaks would have an additional cost.
- Last but not least, the kayak's rear features pre-threaded bolt holes. The kayak can be fitted with these to mount a fish finder or a trolling motor.
What To Consider
- Unpopular brandAs with most fishing kayaks, this one weighs almost 70 pounds, making it a relatively heavy kayak.
