Thinking about getting the field and stream Shadow Caster kayak. Heavy but very stable from the reviews . anyone fished out of one. almost the same kayak as the feel free ride they have in the Decatur kayak store.

I do like the looks of it for the money. If no one on here has any experience on this forum you might try the North Alabama Kayak Anglers Facebook page. I do like the deep tri hull/tunnel hull design and at 34 inches wide it should be super stable.
Looks good but at 95 pounds you'll need to be close to your launch site. It may be to heavy to drag below a highway bridge to launch at a site without at least an unimproved ramp or "put in".
I have one ordered and we will see about the portability of it. I have a set of wheels for it. The Tallon was 74 lbs and I had no trouble with it but the 20 extra pounds may require a lot more effort. Will post some pic of it when I get it rigged out. I found these articles n Kaya Angler.com . Thanks for the replies

My Ascend 12FST is similar to that design. The seat looks slightly better in yours. However DB is right, 95lbs is a lot to deal with. Another thing to consider is are you transporting this on the roof of a car or in the back of a truck? Thats a lot of weight to lift up high by yourself. My ascend weighs 75lbs and attempting to put it on a roof rack was not easy so I bought a truck bed extender that connects to my hitch. Overall it looks great!
