Pretty cool that you can use your feet. Kayaks/canoes are fun machines.
But can you turn around in your boat length, have good stability from broadside hits of wakes, just stand up on bottom to hold position in shallow water, simple mount/dismount like getting in and out of a chair, frequent portage/pack in to/between streams, 100% hands free fishing, etc..... All starting at just over $100...
Tubes/toons are designed particularly for fishing, not as an afterthought.
That's the way I see it, anyway...

[quote RockyRaab]There's no reverse while pedaling, but they do supply a two-piece kayak paddle you can use either double bladed or single-bladed with the handle.
In normal mode, you pedal with your feet, steer with your left hand on the rudder tiller - and fish with your right hand. You only need your left hand on the tiller to move it, so both hands are free at least 50% of the time. It is MUCH better than a standard kayak or canoe for fishing.
It's the Rolls Royce of fishing kayaks - and just as heavy and pricey, LOL![/quote]
