Built for trolling and holding a line on big water. Our score: 6.7/10, “good”. #2 of 5 in our Pedal Fishing Kayaks ranking.
The Pelican Catch 110 HDII 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 seat you can adjust matters more than any spec once you have been out for four hours.
Your hands stay on the rod. You hold a line in the wind, slow-troll a weed edge or turn to a rising fish without putting anything down.
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. An adjustable seat, 3 rod holders, the pedal drive.
From the listing. Check the box contents on the current listing before ordering, as bundles change.
Buyers give it 3.8/5, a mixed record, below this ranking's 4.2 average. 63 reviews is still a modest pile, so a handful of new ones can move it.
We don't have a recent dated price for this listing, and we would rather not guess. The button shows today's price and stock.
Fishing small, weedy water? The Lifetime Muskie Angler is a simpler paddle kayak (9.3/10).
Fishing with a partner or a kid? The Intex Excursion Pro K2 seats two (9.4/10).
What we'd buy the Pelican Catch 110 HDII for is pedal power that keeps your hands on the rod, with 3 rod holders on deck as a bonus. Only 63 buyers have rated it so far (3.8/5), so treat the score as an early read. Where it falls short: their 3.8/5 average sits under the 4.2 of this ranking. We'd pick it if you fish wind, current or long shorelines and want both hands free; otherwise, put it next to the Reel Yaks Raptor Modular, Fin Drive first.
Before you order the Pelican Catch 110 HDII and wait for the delivery truck, 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.
10 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.
