Old Town Sportsman PDL 120

The Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 is a pedal-driven fishing kayak built for anglers who want hands-free propulsion without sacrificing the stability and storage needed for a full day on the water. At the heart of the kayak is the PDL Drive, a pedal system equipped with a reversible, flat-blade propeller that lets paddlers move forward and backward with precision, making it easy to hold position near structure or navigate shallow water without constantly picking up a paddle. The pedal drive is fully removable and stows inside the hull, so the kayak remains versatile enough to paddle in skinny water or launch from tight spots where a bulky drive unit would be a liability. Old Town engineered the PDL system with a lightweight, low-maintenance design, meaning anglers spend more time fishing and less time fiddling with gears or cables.

Stability is a defining feature of the Sportsman PDL 120, thanks to its wide, flat-bottomed hull that creates a solid, standing-capable platform even when casting, reeling in a fighting fish, or shifting weight to reach gear. The kayak's cockpit is designed with an angler's workflow in mind, featuring an adjustable, high/low seating system that lets users switch between a relaxed lounging position for long paddles and a elevated perch for better sightlines while sight-fishing or scanning for structure. Multiple rod holders, including flush-mounted and recessed positions, keep tackle organized and within reach, while the open bow and stern tankwells provide ample space for crates, coolers, or additional rigging without cluttering the cockpit.

Built from durable, impact-resistant polyethylene, the Sportsman PDL 120 is designed to handle the rigors of freshwater fishing on lakes, rivers, and calm coastal waters, resisting scratches and UV damage season after season. The kayak includes integrated accessory tracks and mounting points compatible with fish finders, GPS units, and other electronics, allowing anglers to customize their setup to match their fishing style. Convenience features like molded-in cup holders, a tackle management system, and a comfortable paddle park ensure that every inch of the kayak serves a purpose. Whether targeting bass in a quiet cove or working a river current for trout, the Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 delivers a dependable, feature-rich platform that blends efficient pedal power with the practical demands of serious kayak fishing.
