the next time i went out I started fishing standing up, and by the end of that trip, I was having no issues whatsoever fishing on my feet for extended periods. my first time out, I tried standing and was a little shaky but I stood up with a 3 yr. I got a great deal on it so I decided to go for it. Stability for me was a huge factor in purchasing a fishing kayak, I was apprehensive to purchase this one due to some people on youtube trying to stand up in it and looking like they were riding a unicycle for the first time and quickly saying that you can't stand in it. I have a 2017/2018 model, very few cons with this particular kayak. Much better options available (for less money). The Ascend 12T is a decent backup kayak but that's all I recommend it used for. Look at what the kayak's overall weight capacity is and that'll tell you a lot about how well it is built. However it gets outclassed quickly when compared to a comparable kayak line. If you compare the Ascend 12T to a Sundolphin from Walmart I'll agree it's a better kayak. When paddling at a comfortable pace it does walk side to side. The material on the Pescador is a lot heavier and overall much better built.
Again when I compared this to the Pescador 12 be purchased (which was less expensive) there is a night a day difference. The thickness of the hull on the Ascend 12T is also disappointing. Night and day difference! If you reach around to the rear storage well on the Ascend 12T you better hang on as it's extremely tippy.
Those who say this is stable need to try a Pescador 12. Not the case! At 31" wide this is not a stable kayak. After reading many reviews I figured it was the best bang for my buck. Maximum Weight Capacity: 350 lbs.īought this kayak a few months ago. Accessory rails allow for attaching extra gear for even more storage versatility. Flush-mount paddle holders, adjustable foot braces, scupper drains, cutting-edge gaskets and fasteners, and performance-grip handles bow and stern set the Ascend FS12T Sit-on-Top Kayak apart. A weathertight storage hatch in the updated midship dash keeps your vitals protected. The large, molded stern tankwell features integrated D-rings designed to secure a full-size cooler-perfect for bringing your favorite refreshment on a memorable trip. A deluxe, removable seating system lets you take the padded seat off your Ascend kayak and right into camp. The custom-crafted tunnel hull design increases stability for easier handling in challenging waters and smoother entry/exit at shores. The new layout improves rigidity through the entire vessel, allowing far better standing capability for enhanced paddling or fishing. A modified dashboard, part of the new midship dash design, improves the overall layout for enhanced comfort while sitting or standing the weathertight storage hatch now appears midship on a redesigned landing. Redesigned with updated focuses bow to stern, the Ascend® FS12T Sit-on-Top Kayak lets thrill-seekers push themselves, and their gear, further than ever.
Check out the Ascend 12T for the best alternative.
