Descrição
In this video from ICAST 2026, we do a deep dive with Old Town's Brand Manager, Ryan, to compare the fully rigged PDL 120 Pro and the highly adaptable Sportsman 120 Pro. If you are an angler trying to decide between a pedal-drive kayak and a blank canvas designed for ultimate motorization, this walkthrough breaks down every nuance. We cover the specific differences in rod storage, seating configurations, battery placement, and why Old Town opted to keep the 120 Pro under $2,000. It is a masterclass in how to choose the right hull for your fishing style without breaking the bank.
As always, a massive thank you to Piscifun for sponsoring my adventures and keeping our rods loaded!
