Built for ponds, lakes and slow rivers. Our score: 7.2/10, “good”. Rated from the listing's stated specs (no buyer reviews captured yet).
The Old Town Loon 106 Angler next to two paddle fishing kayaks that come closest to it in build and rating.
The maximum the listing states for paddler plus gear. It is a seller figure, not a stability result: add your own load in our <a href="/kayak-capacity-planner/">capacity planner</a> and keep a real margin below it.
Add your own weight, the crate, the cooler and the PFD, then keep a margin: our capacity planner does that sum in ten seconds.
A shorter hull turns quickly in creeks and is easier to carry and store, at the cost of some glide on open water.
A hatch or tank well keeps the crate, the cooler and the dry bag out of the way of your casting.
You slip into shallow coves and weed beds that bigger boats never reach, and you hear the fish rising.
Check the listing: it does not say sit-on-top, so read the layout carefully.
A sit-inside keeps you drier and warmer on cold water but holds less tackle.
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. Paddle to the spot, rest the paddle, fish. Simple, quiet, nothing to maintain.
After the trip. A rinse with the hose, then store it on its side or on a rack, out of the sun.

The Old Town Loon 106 Angler earns its place with a stated 325 lb capacity and a 10.5 ft hull. No buyer reviews yet, so the Old Town Loon 106 Angler has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Old Town fishing kayak: no paddle in the box, while most of this list includes one. We'd pick the Old Town Loon 106 Angler if you want a fishing kayak for ponds, lakes and slow rivers; otherwise, put it next to the BKC Brooklyn 12.5 Tandem, Camo first.
Before the Old Town Loon 106 Angler goes in your basket, check your full load: your weight, your gear and a margin should sit comfortably under the stated 325 lb.
Weigh yourself with your fishing clothes on, then the gear bag, the crate and the cooler. Subtract the lot from 325 lb: what is left is your margin.
10.5 ft long: picture your roof rack, the lift onto it and the corner of the garage where it will live.
Ponds and slow rivers suit almost any kayak; open, windy water favours a longer hull and a rudder. Be honest about where you will fish most.
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.
