I was looking @ some fishing kayaks. I would be flyfishing mostly. I keep hearing good things about the Native yaks. What makes these better? If anyone has any photos of one set up for fishing please post some pics. What are the pros and Cons. Im new to kayaking. Thanks
Native seems to be a average kayak. I took one for a spin for a day to fish and such before buying my Malibu X-Factor and it did OK. I did not like fly fishing from it. Now Native has come out with the Magic which IMO appears to a nicer kayak. Again not trying to sell you because if I don’t sell mine then I won’t be un-happy:smiley: ntohing fly fishes like the X-Factor. just ask Mike and some of the guys at Charleston Angler who fly fish and have the X-Factor. They rave about its stability.
I do like the Magic more than the Ultimate eventhough I have never paddled the Magic.

I am fairly new to Kayak fishing and have a Native Ultimate 12 Elite and I have been verry happy but did not try any others. It is easy to handle (on and out of water) and I feel very comfortable throwing a fly line. I can throw a small cast(5’)with confidence but not too comfortable throwing a large one. It paddles plenty fast for me and can move through very shallow water. Plenty of room but I am not a big guy.
