    Default Hunting kayak

    Been looking for a kayak to better suit the shallow grass waterways of south florida than my outboard. Will also fish out of flamingo/ keys as well.



    Anyone know about this one Diablo Adios

    Diablo Adios. The guy in the pic is Pepi Vidal from South Florida. He fishes a lot of the kayak tournaments down there.

    Those boats are awesome as a stand up fishing platform. Make sure you get the optional Larry Chair with it for the most comfort! Also, if you plan on paddling any distance (2 miles or more) also get the rudder for the rear. It's not a true functioning rudder for stearage. They call it The Skeg and it greatly improves tracking of the hull.

    You edited while I was typing! I have several friends that are on the companies Pro Staff. Ryan Conner and Judd Miller (also part owner of Slayer Lure Inc). I've fished many a tournament against those guys as seen them do work on their Diablos! Also a friend of mine, Kevin Larissy bought one and has an impressive pic that Ill find and post. They all love them. Great fit and finish! Not the best paddling due to its hybrid design but a phenomenal fishing yak!
