Trident Series

You’ve seen fish crashing bait beyond casting range from the surf?

Birds dive-bombing?

Man.

You’ve seen kayakers nail the fish, too, no?

So how do you get in on this kayaking?

Deciding on a kayak is one step.

Or maybe you already have a kayak and are interested in a classic.

Ocean Kayak’s Trident Series of kayaks has been a classic for fishing the coast.

The company revamped the series and began shipping them recently.

New features on the kayak, available in 11-, 13- and 15-foot lengths, include Active Comfort System 2.0 Seating, with a backrest that adjusts up and down and improved thigh support.

Latest features also include a new Mod Pod, for storage between your legs, that’s slightly narrower for better thigh room and better room for stand-up fishing.

What’s more, the Trident has endless rigging potential, the company says, with seven flush aluminum tracks to mount accessories like rod holders and electronics.

Storage is maximum, the company adds, and includes: a large bow hatch with a 12-volt battery bag for electronics and accessories; a behind-the-seat well for a cooler or a livewell; and a new, additional rear hatch.

The kayak also includes a redesigned paddle-keeper for paddle-stashing when fighting a fish, foot braces that are adjustable and can be used for rudder control with the purchase of a rudder kit, rod storage that protects rod tips, rubber carry handles that resist snagging, and more.

Fish crashing, birds diving and some crazy kayaker who can reach them.
