Description
The Knarr FD is 100% dialed-in on the challenges presented by oceans and large lakes. Bring on the surf, current, wind, tide and the elements - these are the focus of our design.
NEW FOR 2025 - our steering system has been updated from a two-handed to a single-handed system, which eliminates the excess steering line and greatly reduces the amount of manual tensioning required due to temperature fluctuations.
Want to swap your steering from the left side to the right side of your kayak? Here are instructions detailing how to do just that: https://jacksonkayak.com/knarr-steering-side-swap/

Ultimate Fishing Kayak
After fishing many years in a boat, I started fishing in a kayak this year. I already own two fishing kayak (another brand and now the Knarr FD). The Knarr is by far the best of my two kayaks. It's faster, has a lot more space, everything has been though of (to install accessories), it's super stable (fished in heavy winds and big waves). I love my Knarr. Jackson Kayak has really created the ultimate fishing kayak.
You can put the prop in position two to pedal in shallow and make it also almost weedless. It turns fast. Yes it is heavy but it was not built to walk around with it. It's a real tank! -
Best Kayak Ever
I purchased my Jackson Knarr on June 24, 2022, at "The Shack" store in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Since then I've been using my Knarr every weekend. About three weeks ago I had an epic kayak fishing day on my where I was able to fight big Tarpons at the Río Grande de Loíza, here in Puerto Rico. The Jackson Knarr FD handled extremely well and basically did not notice the traction power of these Tarpons. The new Flex Drive Mark IV is smooth and fast allowing me to move back and forward in the blink of an eye. The stability is outstanding, the cockpit area is huge and it allows me to accommodate up to six rods inside the kayak. The steering system on the right and on the left side of the boat allowed me to work the Tarpons without any problem when I had to change the rod from one hand to the other without losing steering control. The Jackson Knarr FD has changed the kayak fishing game for me. I cannot wait to upload a lot of Fresh and Salt water content for my YouTube Channel. The Jackson Knarr FD is the Ultimate Fishing Machine for the demanding angler on both the sea and the lake, period. I totally recommend it.
