Emotion Stealth Pro Angler 118 Fishing Kayak

I bought two of these Kayaks when they were on sale for about 499.00 with coupon code. I have used them about a dozen times on Rivers and lakes... They are rock steady.. I am 5'10 195 lbs and I can sit on the edge with my legs in water and fish without it tipping. Trolling motor mounts easy with the universal it and moves it very well without to much drag against currents.. They are a bit heavy but I enjoy how stable they are and all the options that are available.

I’ve had this for a few months and really enjoy it. Lots of ways to mod it out and very stable on the water. Mine did not come with the paddle. The two tackle boxes are pretty small and I pretty much do t use them.

Pro:-Super stable. I'm 6'4'', 360+ lbs and I took this out on 6 foot tall ocean waves and had no problem staying upright. This thing is a tank.-Customer Service. I lost the seat and Emotion is sending me a replacement for free. Amazing!-Easy to climb back on if you want to jump in and go for a swim-Tracks straight-Looks great.-Comfortable. The seat is kind of like a lawn chair.CONS:-Slow. Not compared to other sit on top Kayaks, but compared to my sit-inside Loon 138, it can't keep up.-The side drain plug is an inconvenient design choice. Would have preferred to have it on the end.

Bought this for my my wife for her birthday on its maiden voyage it paddles fantastic! And she was able to stand and fly cast out of it very easily! She loves it!

Was expecting more with this kayak, I upgraded from a stealth 11 and was very happy with that one but wanted something I could fish standing up on. I can stand up on it, but it's by no means stable enough to actively fish standing up, if you set the hook on a nice fish, you're going over for sure, and I have pretty good balance. No way to store your paddle inside, but it has a decent amount of room in the front hatch, however, there is nothing to stop things you put in there from sliding to the stern of the kayak where you can't get to it. Also, mine leaks, about a half cup over 2 hours on calm water. Pros: Very comfortable and adjustable seat, lots of gear tracks, tons of room on the stern deck and behind the seat, room under the seat for tackle trays, tracks very well and is very stable when paddling and sitting. Nice molding on the sides for strapping your paddle down when fishing, and 2 well placed rod holders, the bow and stern carry handles are very sturdy and easy to grip, and at 85 lbs it's heavy but not too heavy to manage by yourself

and, if they could see the deck, how useful is woodland camo? does it trick the fish? do they think, "oh, man, chasing a lure, now i'm lost in the woods" i think it's called the "Emotion" because it's purchased mainly by people with an emotional response to ads. specifically, they buy all things camoflage, whether or not it's appropriate or useful..

I love this kayak really great product for the price. I saw a review saying it isn't sturdy but I have no idea what they are talking about. I literally can stand at any point I dont even use the stand up strap. I'm 6ft tall to. If you spread your legs and have good sea legs you'll be fine.

The first one I ordered was damaged like it fell off a truck. Multiple deep scratches and a crushed front keel. The replacement looked fine until I took it on the water. It leaks. I turned it over and looked at the drain holes One near the front was obviously causing the leak. The plastic tube that connects the top and bottom of that particular drain hole was misaligned. It was off by 3/8 of an inch. as opposed to being centered. Don't take delivery or walk out of the store with one untill you have very carefully inspected every aspect.
