Pelican Catch Mode 110 Kayak

The kayak is laid out wonderfully. It ticks every box I was looking for. The rod holder and bungee placements are ideal. It's nice and sturdy. I use it for fishing and I needed for it to be robust enough to carry my dog and gear. I'm about 200lbs. and the dog is about 100lbs. It's surprisingly stable with both us and a little tackle on it. The scuppers do not overflow at 320 lbs. I take the front net off when I take the dog with me and it's plenty of room for him to occupy without being all over me or between by legs. The seat is awesome, I love the little pocket and slots. It's still very comfortable after several hours in a row. The hole in the front middle of the where the strap holds the seat down is the perfect size to chunk empty beer cans through. They get trapped under there and don't slide around the boat. I did purchase some 3/4" rubber cane feet for the seat, I think I spent $4 on them. I would recommend that, but get some skinnier ones if you can. Poke an air hole in them if you're having trouble getting them all the way on. The skeg is very helpful and makes a difference. I've backed into things a few times and it kind of just pops up and dislodges from its mount, but it hasn't been damaged. Sometimes you gotta land to set it again is all. I load it up in a short bed Colorado. It fits great and very secure when loaded backwards and strapped through the scupper in front of the seat. Loading and unloading is quick and easy because it's light enough to jerk around with one hand. I got the Pelican brand cart designed for it too, and it makes it all that much easier. The shipping did suck. It was delivered in great condition with some neat protective plastic, so it's not too big of a deal. This issue was that the delivery date was rescheduled so many times. It took over two weeks longer than agreed upon to arrive. It's an inconvenience and annoyance, the anticipation was nerve-wracking. At the end of the day though, I'm glad it arrived safe and it's a great fishing kayak.

I bought this kayak for my husband after researching tons of canoe, kayak, and small boat options, and this one ended up being perfect for him. It’s light enough for him to maneuver and transport on his own, which was a huge priority. On the water, it’s sturdy and stable, and he’s able to both sit and stand while fishing without any issues. It holds all of his gear with no problem and feels really well-designed for fishing trips. So far, it’s been a great choice and has made his outings a lot easier and more enjoyable.

This kayak is so bouant it would take alot of movement to make it tip over . I can swim but not a great swimmer and I feel very comfortable in it. Also waterbottle pockets great and storage pocket is pretty big to carry backpack or cooler..we love ours . Slightly heavy for us but we are in our 60s . Lots of fun to be out on water to float ,paddle or fishing. Also pockets for fishing poles

Over1 year Update Edit: Added some more pictures of camping trips. I brought my whole family aboard one day. My girlfriend, daughter and I can all fit and sit pretty well for a kayak. The best pros you can throw anything or anyone in this kayak and they're safe. With 2 people and a kid i was comfortable with slow moving river. I can carry to much glamping stuff. I bring chairs and tables and coolers and all the ridiculous stuff for a kayak camp because I can. I can collect all the rocks and things I find along the way and keep what ever I want. The Cons: with the skeg up you can just spin circles if you wanted to easy. Which can be a good thing but going down river you can get sideways and not really be able to pull yourself forward and straighten out quickly. And with the skeg down sometimes the fast moving water can push it making you drift as you go. I say drift because you'll be going in the same direction whether forward or sideways sometimes. Plus being wide and flat it isnt fast if you get a rhythm and keep pace you'll move pretty good. Sit in kayaks with pointy noses can just pass you up though. Would still recommend just for as cheap of a sale as you can find because it is still expensive to my budget I got it on sale! Original review: I love this kayak more and more each time I take it out. You can do a 180 pretty easily with minimal effort that too can be bad as you're rear will try to drift around alot without the skeg down. It's tracks pretty straight for under 11' with the skeg down. Main benefit to me is all the large flat space on it. You can toss a milk crate behind the seat 💺 and there's room on each side. During a lake camping trip I probably had 200 pounds of glamping stuff and fishing tackle and my friend even had to toss a bag on the front because his was over loaded. It'll hold weight well and you don't feel worried about tipping over at all it's almost 3 feet wide. It's down sides are it is slow you will not win any speed race with it. It is almost too wide I rub sides with my paddle and it's 96" inches. It is alot of money for a plastic boat essentially. I waited till it was on sale. The seat can be comfortable but after a few hours it's like any seat you want to stand. Not really worth it on the ground outside of the kayak but an option. Things I love it can hold any amount of gear safely. I was picking up cinder blocks off a gravel bar because I could lol even on holiday weekends boats flying down the river their wake doesn't bother me at all. If you carry to much stuff or like to pick things up as you paddle along this is the perfect kayak 👍 👌

There was a mix up with scheduling on the delivery that I think was outside of Amazon's control. Tracking is not the best, but can be expected when the stability is so good. I was impressed with the stability, but what I like the most is the seat. I was super impressed with the seat's comfort and really like that you can fold it down and sit on the back. A 13x13 milk crate fits perfectly in the space behind the seat. Scupper plugs work well. I am really enjoying this fishing kayak!

Good quality. Very sturdy. Doesn’t rock or tip. Rides smooth in the water. We have two of these Kayaks and love them.

Great Kayak ~ extremely roomy for anglers, not meant for speed or rough waters, Excellent for calm waters. Great seat hight & it’s very comfortable!

So far I love my Catch Mode 110. The kayak has lots of room. I mean so much that my 8yr old was able to sit in front of me and paddle while I was in the seat. It's fairly stable, not as stable as I was expecting, but stable enough to be comfy while sitting. Standing can be tricky. I'm 5' 5" and feel like I need about another 3 inches in width to stand comfortably. You do have to be aware when standing or when sitting on the folded seat. Though I am just getting back into kayaking so maybe it's just my need to get used to it again. I'm not going to bore you with pics of the kayak, but I will give you one of my son paddling in front of me to show the room it has. There is only one center handle and only one track on each side for accessories. I do wish it had more handle points and more tracks, but you can add them as you wish. The only real bad was that it took a very long time to be delivered, about a month, and after it was delivered there was a huge gouge in the side. Since it didn't break through to the hollow, I didn't make a big deal about it. There was no other damage as some of the reviews have stated. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

Originally I was going to get the catch 120, but I ended up with a great deal on the Catch mode 110. No regrets at all. The kayak is very stable in both lower and bench seat position. The seat is incredibly comfy, especially when I tightened all the straps and added a lumbar support pillow. It came with rubber stops on the feet of the chaor to stop side to side movement and also came with 4 scupper plugs. I added a canoe seat from canadian tire that has padding and a back rest that I strapped to the bench to add a similar style seat in the higher seating position. Tested on Lake Superior and it passed with flying colour's. I am 5'10" and 260lbs, felt comfortable in both seating positions, did not try standing. Very open and roomy design and a huge upgrade from my previous pelican sit inside kayak. Much easier on my bad back, especially when using a kayak cart (game changer). Really enjoying this new kayak and would absolutely recommend.

Très stable et confortable, parfait pour la pêche ou de longues sorties. Beaucoup d’espace pour l’équipement et facile à manœuvrer. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.

I love this solidly built kayak. Be aware though! Unless you are aquaman, you will need a cart to move it around. It took two guys to pick it up upon delivery. Otherwise super sturdy on the lake, has a nice seat and even lots of room to carry the cart in the back end. Happy fishing!

Love it! Very stable kayak. Makes fishing in secluded spots so enjoyable! Highly recommend!!

The vendor said have in a week. A month later I got a message saying not deliverable. I did buy same kayak but from a store 6 hours away from a store. Kayak itself is great though
