Moken first impressions

About the reviewer

Newbie to kayaks but oldie to fishing.

Test environment

Several trips off Coromandel peninsula in calm to rough conditions

Review

My first sit on, so previous experience was fishing out of a traditional sik. Love all the advantages of a sot for fishing and overall very happy with the well thought out moken. Very stable and dry, even in a moderate sea. Feels a bit slower than a sik naturally but chugs along quite quickly with no problem at all. Wide and very easy to access rod holders, tackle etc. Very handy open working space between legs with useful tackle and gear hatch. Facility for fishfinder and two areas to mount Scotty rod holders up front. Rudder is solid, so is the seat back and a little firm in the bum padding. As mentioned by the other reviewer in a rough sea for several hours took o quite a bit of water internally so will look into that.

Conclusion

Overall very good value package but would like to try a prowler 13 to compare
