Working a weedy shoreline at first light comes down to paddling a slow line between casts, and the Old Town Sportsman 120 Pro Kayak is a 12-foot sit-on-top fishing kayak, motor-ready by design, that stays a simple paddle boat until the day a motor makes sense. Mounting points at the bow and stern, a thru-hull wiring port, and steering-ready cable routing prepare the boat for a trolling motor, a shallow water anchor, and electronics as the setup grows. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I stood to sight cast across a shallow flat, and the wide hull stayed steady through every cast and every shuffle of my feet to follow a fish. It paddled well enough bare that I waited a full season before adding anything."
