Pelican Mode 110

A stable platform and a comfortable seat are the two things that separate a good fishing kayak from a frustrating one, and the Mode 110 gets both right.

The tunnel hull keeps things rock-solid when you stand up to cast or land a fish, and the wide, flat deck gives you genuine room to move without feeling like you're tip-toeing around your gear. Anti-slip deck pads and a built-in ruler make the standing area purposeful, and a retractable stern skeg is a genuinely useful addition for maintaining a straight line on breezy Canadian lakes where wind can push a flat-bottomed hull around quickly.

The Ergoboost seating system is one of Pelican's better fishing chairs. It adjusts to a higher position than a standard kayak seat, which improves your sightlines and makes spotting structure and fish easier. The EVA seat pad adds real cushioning for full-day sessions, and under-seat storage keeps small essentials close without cluttering the deck. Three flush-mount rod holders, two 4-inch rigging tracks for accessories or electronics, and a stern storage platform with bungee cords round out a practical, well-thought-out fishing rig. At 63 lb and 10'8", it loads and unloads solo without a struggle.
