Jackson Kayak BIGRIG

[robmedina]

I just ordered my Jackson BIGRIG kayak. Should be here around Tuesday. Just in time for some warmer weather. I know it isn't a speed demon but I wanted something I could stand and fish. Should be good for the flats and lakes.

Sorry if this sounds stupid but what exactly is a Jackson bigrig and what makes it different from others? Have never even seen pics of one. Do you have pics? thanks

Well admittedly kayaking , more specifically kayak fishing has evolved quite dramatically. I think a better term would be personal fishing craft. The jackson bigrig kayak us a wide kayak that is stable and designed specifically for stand up fishing. It is almost specifically designed for fly fisherman. It has troughs on both sides that a full fly rod sits in protected. It comes with many features that include a stand assist bar and comfortable seating with lumbar support.

I elected to pick it up at the trucking terminal as opposed to home delivery as I was worried that it would come when I wasn't home and the guy might damage it getting it off the truck. Anyway- It has been sitting 3 miles from my house since Friday night I have to wait until Monday to go get it. I am excited. I finally got what I wanted. Sand color with a rudder!
