11 ft of hull

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.

What it has going for it

Pedal drive

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.

Adjustable seat

A seat you can adjust matters more than any spec once you have been out for four hours.

Rudder

A rudder keeps the bow pointed where you want it in a crosswind, and on a pedal kayak it is how you steer while your hands stay on the rod.

What changes on the water

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 or paddle?

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.

Best for you if

  • You fish wind, current or long shorelines and want both hands free
  • You plan long days on the water and your back matters

Skip it if

  • You need a stated weight capacity to plan your load: the listing gives no figure
  • You want rod holders built in: the listing does not mention any
  • You fish shallow, weedy water most of the time: a pedal drive has to be lifted there
  • You want a long review record: only 30 buyer reviews so far

What Pelican promises

These points come straight from the seller's listing, in the brand's own words.

Setup and what you get

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, the pedal drive.

From the listing. Check the box contents on the current listing before ordering, as bundles change.

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Pelican Catch Kicker 110 HDII is pedal power that keeps your hands on the rod, closely followed by an adjustable seat. Only 30 buyers have rated it so far (3.7/5), so treat the score as an early read. Honestly, the catch: their 3.7/5 average sits under the 4.3 of our ranked picks. We'd pick it if you fish wind, current or long shorelines and want both hands free; otherwise, put it next to the Old Town Sportsman PDL 106, Steel Camo first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the Pelican Catch Kicker 110 HDII lands on your driveway, check the weight capacity: the listing gives no figure, so ask the seller or read the manual before you plan your load.

Before you buy

Your full load

Without a stated capacity, the manufacturer manual is the only reliable source: get the figure before you plan a trip with gear.

Transport and storage

11 ft long: picture your roof rack, the lift onto it and the corner of the garage where it will live.

The drive

Check whether the pedal drive comes in the box, how it lifts out in shallow water and what spare parts the brand sells.

Life jacket and rules

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.
