Excellent

Amazing STABILITY I've only used sit-in kayaks and after enjoying the Manta for only one day I can say that I am very impressed and satisfied with my purchase. The ease of sitting and standing is really comfortable and I would highly recommend it!!!

Awesome Kayak

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime Manta Angler is very easy to maneuver and there’s plenty of room for gear . The tracking is fairly good but as in all kayaks in my experience it’s about transferring your weight of your load around to help balance your kayak to get the best tracking . The stability of the Manta Angler is awesome, I was able to stand up and cast my fishing rod with ease and landing a big bass I had no worries about tipping over . I love this kayak

Excellent stability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The manta angler exceeded my expectations. I have owned 2 other kayaks and this is the first kayak I didn’t feel like was going to tip over when I am in choppy water or catch waves from bigger boats, which is important to me because I usually fish bigger bodies of water. I stood up in it and casted and felt very comfortable doing it. I like where Lifetime placed the wheels on this because it is easy to move around on solid ground and the kayak doesn’t want to tip over because how far apart they placed them. The Manta is surprisingly easy to paddle for how big it is and tracks very well. My favorite feature is the four rod holders on the back. I put a fishing net in one of them and put three rods in the others. I like that I can keep the rods out of my way while paddling to my spots and can easily get to them when I am ready to fish.

Awesome kayak!

This kayak is awesome! It is the most stable kayak I have used and I was able to stand and fish with zero issues. It maneuvers great and very easy to paddle. It has plenty of room for all your gear. It is light enough to load and unload it by yourself. It also has 2 built in wheels that make launching it very easy. I really like that it has 6 rod holders. The only downside is the way the outer rod holders angle , sometimes i would hit the rods while paddling.

Unsure

I love the size came with a paddle color is nice. The only problem is one of the skegs was broken off missing a retainer and the rod to hold the wheel to the skeg.

Concept is great, quality control needs work.

Every screw on the skeg wheels was loose, and 2 screws are missing entirely. And the right foot rest is loose, the rivets that are holding it in are not tightened down properly.
