Why We Like The Sportsman 120 Kayak
When the team at Old Town Kayaks were dreaming up the perfect kayak for anglers, they put their heads together to pack in all of their favorite features, and the result is the Sportsman 120. This 12-foot ride features a wide, open cockpit that's intensely stable and has plenty of space to organize all of your tackle, while a DoubleU Hull glides nearly silently through the water so you can sneak up on fish. A hefty 415lb usable weight capacity means unlimited time on the water with a loaded cooler.

Expected Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great kayak with a lot of features. I’m 6’2 350lbs so stability was important for me. I’m able to run this without scupper plugs and all my gear with no problems. Great entry level kayak!

Excellent kayak
I’ve been fishing from my Sportsman PDL 120 for 4 years. It handles perfectly in calm and rough water. It has plenty of storage. The PDL drives works flawlessly.

Perfect river kayak!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes, I like to fish in tougher to reach areas where there may not be a road. You need something that is light, easy to carry, and still gives you the space and stability needed to chase big fish. This is the whole package!

Great for the heavy guys that want to fish stable!
Going into my third year with this kayak. Did alot of research before buying. I'm 5'5" and hover at around 300 lbs so I needed something comfortable and stable and this has given me short trips as well as 9 hour days of fishing with ease. I can even stand up. Also got one for my athletic now 18 year old and a 106 for my now 14 year old and we love them all.my youbger

Seriously Beyond Expectations!!!
There’s nothing more in a paddle kayak you that you could possibly need. I like to stand and I wanted room without peddles or a console getting in my way. This kayak gives me so much room and stability that I can stand and turn around with no issues. Fly fishing is no problem either with extra room gained from eliminating the console. This creates a all the room you need for stripping line without the worry of your fly line getting tangled. I would recommend this kayak for anyone.
