Legacy Fishing Kayaks

Coosa: Designed to answer the continually evolving needs of the kayak fisherman. The Coosa excels in ponds and inshore saltwater, and was the first kayak to cater to the river angler, making it the first all-water fishing craft.

Coosa, YakAttack Edition: A fully featured version of the river-running flagship Coosa, plus key accessories from YakAttack. Draped in YakAttack's Slate, Orange, and White colors, with custom orange gear tracks and a YakAttack graphic on the stern for a distinct look on the water.

Coosa HD: Jackson's design team put an "HD" twist on the already popular Coosa. This heavy-duty fishing craft amps up the specs and features, running slightly longer and wider than the original for even more stability, a perfect fit for anglers of all sizes or those wanting a stand-up fishing kayak. The hull is still river-friendly, but the HD tracks truer on the flat waters of lakes or inshore saltwater. Packed with features, the Coosa HD is ready for any type of fish on almost any type of water.

Coosa HD Pro: This "Heavy Duty" Coosa boasts more length and width than the original, a perfect fit for anglers of all sizes and those wanting a stand-up fishing kayak. The hull stays river-friendly while tracking truer on flat water or inshore saltwater. Headlined by the removable Coosa Console, which turns the kayak into an accessory-ready platform or, removed, an open deck for fly anglers. Comes with RAM mount rod holders, YakAttack gear tracks, the Elite Seat 3.0, plus a Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro fishfinder, Nocqua JK Pro power supply, and a complete Power-Pole Micro Anchor system, everything needed to fish anywhere, rigged and ready.

Cuda 14: Built for the big-water fisherman, with the speed to trek long distances quickly and the rare ability to stay stable for standing once you get there. The hi-lo seat moves high or low depending on your preference and fishing environment, and can be removed from the boat entirely.

Cuda 12: The perfect counterpart to its big brother, the Cuda 14. Still built for inshore, offshore, lakes, and other large bodies of water, but in a mid-range size for an even more versatile watercraft.

Cuda LT: A lighter, thermoformed upgrade of the Cuda 12, Jackson's top-selling fishing kayak. Sleeker, higher performing, more stable, and more feature-laden, with all the Cuda 12's deck features plus new YakAttack tracks fore and aft, all in a lightweight package.

Cuda HD: A new family member for one of Jackson's top-selling kayaks of all time, combining recent hull and deck improvements into a longer, slightly wider big-water product with additional stability, tracking, and speed. The deck is reworked with padding, a hinged center hatch, tubular tip covers, YakAttack tracks throughout, hi-lo trimmable seating, and Raymarine and PowerPole readiness.

A larger, outdoorsman-oriented special edition of the popular Day Tripper model. Bow, stern, and perimeter deck rigging add gear storage and help build natural blinds for waterfowl hunters, photographers, or fishermen.

Kilroy: A sit-inside kayak design with Hi-Lo seating (patent pending), optional decks, and RAM-ready mounts, tailored for the outdoorsman with features for kayak fishing, hunting, wildlife photography, birdwatching, and more.

Kilroy Realtree: Based on the Kilroy, wrapped in Realtree Max-5 waterfowl camo. Equipped with all standard fishing features plus a new line of hunting accessories specific to the waterfowler.

Kilroy, YakAttack Edition: A fully featured version of the Kilroy plus key YakAttack accessories, in YakAttack's Slate, Orange, and White colors with custom orange gear tracks. Also incorporates the fast Cuda 12 hull shape, protected rod storage, interchangeable soft and hard deck options, and one of Jackson's most stable standing platforms, since the standing area sits below the waterline.

Kilroy LT: A thermoformed version of the Kilroy, longer and wider than the original with an even more rigid, lighter hull. Based on the Cuda 12 hull, with a molded floor system, interchangeable front and rear hard deck, a rigid dashboard deck with tackle storage, and a "glove box" style storage bin.

Kilroy DT: The Kilroy "Delta Tango," a tandem platform slightly wider and longer than the original Kilroy that paddles just as well solo. Elite seats in multiple trimmable positions can be removed to convert the DT into a solo kayak.

Kilroy HD: A reshaped hull brings more storage, more stability, bow-to-stern gear and seat track, and a layout built for functional versatility. The 2021 model added the Comfort Seat, a generously padded seat with an ergonomic back bend and robust frame for hours of comfort on the water.

Kraken 15.5: Designed for some of the most challenging paddling environments in the world, built for the offshore and big-lake kayak angler. The first collaborative design between kayak angler Jim Sammons and Jackson Kayak's design team, built for punching surf, rough offshore currents, swells, and beach landings.

Kraken 13.5: An all-new option for paddlers tackling big water, based on the Kraken 15.5 platform but shedding some length for more maneuverability without losing its big brother's punch. Built for the same challenging environments in a nimbler, smaller footprint.

Kraken Elite: Adds fishing-specific features on top of the standard version: a 2-layer standing pad, RAM 2007 rod holder, two RAM Tough Tubes with base, a YakAttack 1.5" Screwball, and the Kraken Krate with rod holders.

Kraken Pro: The full-featured, ready-to-fish, off-the-shelf version of the Kraken. Outfitted with a Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro fishfinder with mounting hardware, Navionics charts and maps, a Nocqua battery, a plumbed and wired JKrate for livewell or bait tank, Buck Splizzors, and the Pro Edition badge.

A fishing SUP designed with fishing in mind: stable, straight-tracking, and set up for the fishing enthusiast. Screw-in mounts for RAM equipment, a removable deck organizer for water bottles, paddle, tackle, and gear, plus bow and stern webbing straps to secure extra equipment, like your favorite Orion Cooler.

One of the largest-capacity fishing kayaks Jackson makes, with the unique ability to paddle as a tandem or solo, making it a perfect family model. With more than thirty seating configurations, it's versatile for fishing, hunting, or recreational exploration, and the seat can reverse for "FaceTime seating" when fishing with young children. At home on lakes, rivers, inshore saltwater, and offshore. The center Tuna Tank works as dry storage or converts to a livewell for bait, rod tip protectors and deck geometry keep rods tucked safely away, and the small bow day hatch is perfect for snacks, keys, or a camera. The Hi-Lo Ergo Seat's MOLLE system lets you add medical kits, water bottle holders, and other accessories.

A great price-point kayak for anyone getting into kayak fishing without all the bells and whistles, but with enough features to make time on the water enjoyable. Also a solid choice for the avid angler wanting a small, versatile kayak with a minimalist approach, for fishing smaller rivers, creeks, or a neighborhood pond, and a favorite for college kayak anglers who need to store a boat in a dorm room or apartment. Offered in the same eye-catching colors as the rest of the fishing line, in both 10- and 12-foot lengths.

Big Rig: A single-person sit-on-top designed for incredible stability in a stand-up fishing kayak, combining the best features of several Jackson fishing models into a larger package. Ready to accept a Raymarine Dragonfly fishfinder and Power-Pole Micro stake-out system.

Big Rig, YakAttack Edition: A fully featured version of the standing-friendly Big Rig plus key YakAttack accessories, in YakAttack's Slate, Orange, and White colors with custom gear tracks. Big stability for anglers who want to feel comfortable standing and fishing from a smaller watercraft, tuned for lakes, ponds, rivers, and inshore saltwater bays or marshes.

Big Rig Pro: The full-featured, ready-to-fish, off-the-shelf version of the Big Rig. Outfitted with a Raymarine Dragonfly 5 fishfinder, Navionics charts and maps, a Nocqua battery, Power-Pole Micro Anchor with battery, a hanging battery tray, Buck Splizzors, and a low JKrate, ready to grab a paddle and go.

Big Rig HD/FD: Jackson's most stable kayak, tricked out and ready for battle. Dual rod tubes and oversized rod troughs keep everything tangle-free, large latches open to ample hull storage, and an electronics pass-through on the bow makes running wires to a fish finder easy. Uniquely, it converts from pedal-driven to paddle-driven: remove eight bolts, drop in the alternate pod, and switch between HD's foot-controlled rudder steering and FD's handle-controlled rudder.

Built specifically for young, energetic, lighter-weight anglers who were often stuck fishing from shorter, adult-width kayaks that were slow and hard to paddle. The Skipper's hull is designed narrow enough for kids to keep up with mom or dad, while still stable enough to stand and cast. It mirrors Jackson's larger models with a comfortable, smaller hi/lo Elite seat with tackle storage, a molded-in Nalgene holder, internal rod storage, rear flush mount rod holders, rod tip protectors, a RAM track mount, rear tankwell storage, a replaceable skid plate, a large front hatch, and tether clips for towing. Recommended for anglers in the 50 to 125 lb range.

A modern version of the best-selling Cuda series: wider, more stable, and updated with the features novice kayak anglers look for and experienced anglers demand. Uses the same Hi-Lo trimmable seating as the Cuda HD and Mayfly, with gunnel track systems and a large stern storage area. A narrow hinging center hatch holds molded-in tackle storage and a fishfinder battery compartment without cramping the standing area, and a molded-in stern handle makes transport easy. The wider hull creates a more stable standing platform than the original Cuda, well suited to larger paddlers, beginners, and more gear, and is ideal for anglers focused on flat-water conditions who want more portability than Jackson's larger, heavier models.
