My wife surprised me and bought two of these. I had little expectations since I’m used to my pirogue. These kayaks have been fun for the whole family. We’ve taken them to the Biloxi area, Lake Taneycomo, and several ponds and creeks you’ve never heard of. They’re lots of fun

I bought two of the lifetime tamarack fishing kayaks a year ago. They are very comfortable and easy to handle. I liked them so much I bought a second pair. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good fishing kayak or just one to paddle around.

Honestly, I gambled. Like most things, this is engineered with a fudge-factor involved as some 275lb guy will think "hey, I'm 275lb" and then doesn't think as he loads 30lbs of gear on as well. Well, this is rated at 275lbs, will float 330 very easily. About 1/2 inch of water comes through the scupper holes though... you can get scupper stoppers if that bothers you. Personally, it doesn't bother me one bit as I may be sweet but I'm not made of sugar so I won't melt in a little water. :) Just purchased, had it on the water twice first weekend (wife bought a Tioga model). Tracks well on the water. Oars need drip blockers to keep the water from rolling down your onto you, but that's literally my only complaint. Very satisfied. Would highly recommend.

I contacted Lifetime Customer Service via their web form to see if I could purchase a replacement nose pug for my Angler 120, I was just looking for a price but John immediately shipped out a complete assembly at no charge. I thanked him, advising I was not anticipating such a quick response nor at no cost and that I was also missing a cleat to secure the rear shock cord system. John responded by advising one had been added to the shipment free of charge. In an era of sub-par customer service this is incredible and a welcome change. Some may say don't get excited they are relatively inexpensive parts, I say it is Lifetime's hassle free approach that made the difference. I give John and Lifetime 10 stars for exceeding this customer's expectations! My boat is whole again and I am very satisfied :-)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last year just for floating, however, since then my husband has turned it into his fishing boat. He loves all the storage and the features it has. Super comfortable to spend hours on the lake with. He has added a few after market items but mostly it's perfect just the way it came. Sometimes he even just practices his casting from it on the lawn!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so glad that i baught this kayak easy in and out light weight great on the water and i've caught a bunch of fish so far and i can slide in on them and still be able to move around to catch them, i've baught other kayaks and i'm liking this one the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought two of these kayak in the last 3 years. I like the stability even if it gets a little rough. I've used it for several different things. I paddle it out with my crab pots to catch dungeonous crab with great success. Also I have used it as a dive platform for hauling my speargun and floats out to hunt for large cabrilla and snapper in Baja. I enjoy the rod holders and the bungee system that keeps my gear secure. I highly recommend this kayak.

We have owned this kayak for a few months. This is our FIRST ever kayak. We have owned boats for years and love the outdoors. Once we decided to get a set we had no idea just how much we would use them. They are durable, very stable, very comfortable (we did add upgraded DIY seats) we are in the kayaks an average of 6-8 hours at a time so we changed the seats. Pros- stable (I added a rope to the stabilizer in the middle front and use it to assist in standing up to fish. I can reach behind me to get anything I need from the back without it flipping or tilting over. Fishing pole holders are very easy to get to and get poles in and out of. Cons- storage is open in the hull and it roles all over. We added containers to put things on so they don't go all over inside. cup holders need to be a little deeper, cups will fall out when getting in and out of the kayak but not a big problem. We have used them in lakes, rivers and rapids. Rocky bottoms or smooth sailing isn't a problem for these. We use DIY things to make our Kayak fit our needs depending on where we are at. Would love for them to have more extras for us to purchase. Overall you will NOT regret getting this kayak.

I'm a newbie to kayaking and also wanted to be able to fish. I bought the combo package ( 2 kayaks) and they came faster than expected. It seemed quite large but then it isn't when you're on it. It tracks fairly well..as far as I can tell. The "2 compartments" are actually just ports into the hull without a divider. The only other recommendation I would make is the information on the paddle size (cm) and if it floats. I have no clue what size it is, but it does float after testing. I added some floating ball scuppers that I'd seen on Youtube and they work perfectly. I'm hoping to have a lot of fun on them.

We just bought two of these and fish often in Santa Margarita Lake California. We get lots of bass and catfish, just yesterday 14 catfish. Kayak fishing is fun. We enjoy the water and silence vs a boat with a motor. FYI I flipped my kayak last time and lost two poles and a tackle box and my Lifetime rod holder, Lifetime replaced it! Great Company. Love their tables also.
