Fishing from a kayak is about convenience.

With a kayak, anglers don’t have to own a boat, and they can reach shallow, fish-filled waters they couldn’t otherwise, for example.

So how can a kayak be made even more convenient?

It can be portable.

The company Advanced Elements has introduced the StraitEdge Angler, an inflatable, portable kayak
for fishing.

What’s more,
this isn’t just
any company introducing an inflatable.

The entire focus of business for Advanced Elements, a company that was already making different types of kayaks, is on “inflatable kayaks with cutting edge technology,” the company says.

Every vessel in the company’s StraitEdge line, a series made up of the angling kayak, a non-angling one, a two-person kayak, and a canoe, is reportedly unique in the following way.

Most self-bailing inflatable kayaks are designed for white water, so are typically built to rock somewhat to allow quick turns and maneuvers, the company says.

All the StraitEdge crafts are built with an aluminum rib frame, including an aluminum bow and stern, that improves tracking in open waters, Advanced Elements says.

The hull is designed to track similar to a hard-shell sit-on-top kayak, yet can be packed away in a duffel bag, included with the kayak.

Simply unfold and inflate the kayak, and attach the seat.

The StraitEdge Angler is 41 pounds and 9 feet 8 inches long.

The vessel features abrasion pads for durability, five inflatable chambers, rod holders, a fish ruler, paddle holders, stainless steel
D-rings for an anchor or fish stringer, front and rear bungee deck
lacing, and more.

The Angler is unique from the other StraitEdge vessels because it features what the company calls the Mounting Bar.

The Mounting Bar can be used to attach additional rod holders, a fish finder and other equipment.
