ICAST — Another kayak victory

An in-console Minn Kota trolling motor is featured on the award-winning Old Town Predator XL kayak.

Something historic happened in July at the ICAST show — the show that brings manufacturers of fishing tackle and accessories together with retailers and the media. A kayak, specifically the Old Town Predator XL, won Best of Show, solidifying the use of kayaks as a viable platform for angling.

The Old Town Predator XL is a newer version of last year’s Predator angling series, with an added feature of a Minn Kota trolling motor insert allowing hands-free mobility.

The Predator XL is the first kayak to blend the function of the electric motor into the vessel’s design. The motor can be unplugged when a paddler wants to propel the craft in a more traditional fashion.
