Sea Eagle has started the New Year with a new anglers package option for their popular FastTrack inflatable kayak.
The 385ftg as it is called was designed to meet the needs of any angler. I was very excited to see this option available.
Inflatable kayaks are extremely popular for fishing but there are not too many models out there that are specifically equipped for anglers.
I get emails quite frequently from great people wondering which kayak would work best for fishing.
I feel with this addition there are now a few great options to choose from without having to get really creative by adding all your own fishing accessories.
The Details
Basically what you need to know about this kayak is that it is still the exact same awesome FastTrack model that has become so popular.
This is my favorite kayak to paddle personally. It tracks well and is faster than most other models available. It is well built, strong, stable and best of all still very compact.
Sea Eagle actually had a fishing package available before but the kayak looked exactly the same as the regular FastTrack with some added fishing equipment.
The difference with the new Anglers package is that the kayak and the seat are dark green in color and it has some excellent fishing accessories added on.

The 385ftg comes standard with the Scotty Baitcaster rod holder and side/deck mount.
Then depending on which package you want (there are 3 to chose from), the 385ftg has the option of adding a raised swivel fishing seat with two extra rod holders and a motormount that can hold up to a 55lb. thrust electric motor.
This kayak is designed for open water so it will perform best on lakes, ocean bays or wide meandering rivers.

Below is a video by Denis Isbister, host of Wild Fish Wild Places. In the video he takes his Sea Eagle FastTrack fishing kayak on a fishing journey.
It’s a great promotional video that he did for Sea Eagle that really lets you get a good view of the kayak on the water.
