Built for hands-free fishing in wind and current. Our score: 6.7/10, “good”. Rated from the listing's stated specs (no buyer reviews captured yet).
The BKC Brooklyn 12.0 Single Pedal next to two pedal fishing kayaks that come closest to it in build and rating.
The length stated in the listing. Longer hulls glide and track better on open water; shorter ones turn faster and are easier to carry and store.
Your legs move the kayak while your hands fish: holding a line in wind or current, trolling a shoreline, all without putting the rod down.
Room for a spare rod rigged with another lure, plus one for trolling. On the water, not having to re-rig is half the fun.
A raised seat is the difference between three hours and a full day on the water: your back stays happy and you sit high enough to cast comfortably.
The kayak moves with your legs, so casting, fighting and moving to the next spot become one motion instead of three.
Pedal, if you fish wind, current or long shorelines and want both hands on the rod.
If you fish small, weedy or very shallow water, a paddle kayak is lighter, cheaper and has nothing to lift out of the weeds.
These points come straight from the seller's listing, in the brand's own words.
Getting to the water. A roof rack or a trailer, then a cart or a friend for the walk to the water.
On the water. Feet do the moving, hands do the fishing, and the rudder handle does the steering. Lift the drive in shallow water.
After the trip. Rinse the drive with fresh water, especially after salt, and store the hull out of the sun.
What you get. A frame seat, 2 rod holders, the pedal drive.

We like the BKC Brooklyn 12.0 Single Pedal for a hands-free propeller drive and 2 rod holders. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.7/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. The catch with this BKC pedal kayak: no stated weight capacity, while most of this list gives one. We'd pick the BKC Brooklyn 12.0 Single Pedal if you fish wind, current or long shorelines and want both hands free; otherwise, put it next to the BKC Brooklyn 12.0 Pro Pedal, Propeller first.
Before the BKC Brooklyn 12.0 Single Pedal goes in your basket, check the weight capacity: the listing gives no figure, so ask the seller or read the manual before you plan your load.
Without a stated capacity, the manufacturer manual is the only reliable source: get the figure before you plan a trip with gear.
12 ft long: picture your roof rack, the lift onto it and the corner of the garage where it will live.
Check whether the pedal drive comes in the box, how it lifts out in shallow water and what spare parts the brand sells.
A PFD that meets U.S. Coast Guard rules, a light if you fish at dawn or dusk, and the registration rules of your state boating authority.
