The rod holders mean that you can fish hands free while you paddle the inflatable kayak and there is room, front and back, to store your fishing equipment and catch, under the weather proof front and back splash coverings.

The waterproof carry bag means it can be easily transported and carried to the car and stored at home, in between paddles.

there are multiple air chambers to fill with Boston valves, and an adjustable footrest which clips in place on the inflatable floor.
