Old Town

Loon 126 Angler Kayak

When we want to get away from the riff-raff, find a nice stretch of open water and just catch some fish, there isn't a better boat to do just that than the Old Town Loon 126 Angler Kayak. Fully rigged for long days on the water, the Loon 126 comes with two flush-mounted rod holders, bungee deck rigging, and a watertight Click Seal stern hatch for added gear and tackle storage. Old Town gave the Loon 126 its top-of-the-line Active Comfort System 2.0 seat—a padded, adjustable, ventilated, and supportive seating system—for long-lasting comfort when we're spending upwards of eight to ten hours a day out on the lake. Old Town even threw in adjustable foot braces and thigh pads for a more comfortable and responsive paddling feel. And to keep up with the times, Old Town added a revolutionary new workdeck with a built-in USB port and storage.

Also new this year, Old Town gave the Loon a sleek new hull design which is both zippy and forgiving, with extra width and volume adding stability. A sharp keep line gives the Loon the ability to track well across wide-open lakes and maneuver into those tight fishing holes where bass and big trout love to hide from would-be anglers. Since this particular version of the Loon has been designed specifically for fishing, Old Town added an anchor trolley system, making it easy to deploy and retrieve a small anchor when want to post up on a hole, and it added a paddle clip to keep our paddle on board as we make a cast to that bass we spot boiling just off the bank.
