Jackson Kayaks Coosa FD 12'7"

Covering more water, in more conditions, with less effort is what pedal fishing kayaks are built for, and the Coosa FD 12'7" does it better than most.

Jackson's Flex Drive Mark IV system is the centrepiece here, offering both forward and reverse pedalling with an articulated shaft that automatically protects the prop in shallow water or around submerged obstacles. A hinged prop cover positioned right in front of the seat lets you clear weeds and debris without stopping, without removing the drive, and without getting off the water. For river-running anglers who spend time in dynamic Canadian waterways, that kind of practical engineering matters.

The hull itself is a longer, wider evolution of the Coosa HD, and those dimensions bring real-world benefits. Improved tracking on flatwater lakes, greater stability for heavier paddlers, and a more confident platform for stand-up fishing all come from the added length and width. The open deck layout keeps gear accessible, with gear tracks running bow to stern, a centre console, rod holders, cup holder, and pre-installed traction pads for sure footing. The 2022 HiLo Comfort Seat adds ergonomic support with quick-dry material, and it's fully removable when you need a decent chair on shore.
