The Shoalie is Crescent's first dedicated fishing kayak and the flagship of its Specialized Fishing Line. It keeps Crescent's paddling hull and adds fishing systems: a bow rod securing system, rod butt stops, a thru-hull rod locker in the front tankwell, and rail channels that hold two more rods. The Cam Track rail doubles as an adjustable carry handle, tow strap, wading belt and stand assist. It suits anglers who paddle and fish rivers, lakes and coastal flats and want rod management built in rather than bolted on. Against fishing kayaks from Hobie, Old Town and Jackson, it is a paddle hull without a pedal drive, so it trades hands-free propulsion for lighter, simpler paddling.

The Crescent Shoalie is a one-person, sit-on-top fishing kayak and the flagship of Crescent's specialized fishing line. It is paddle-powered and built with systems for managing rods, paddles, tackle, electronics and seating.
Rod storage runs from bow to stern. The Bow Rod Securing System by Rod Saver straps rods down during transport, and Rod Butt Stops hold them in the cockpit. The front tankwell has a Thru-Hull Rod Locker, and channels along the rails holster two more rods with bungees.
The Crescent Cam Track System combines a rail and handle with an adjustable-length carry handle, tow strap, wading belt and stand assist. The handle is fully removable for mounting accessories. The kayak also has a molded-in Adjustable Seating System, a Roto Release Paddle Park System, YakAttack GearTracs, PowerPole mounting points and a cockpit recess for a 26" Ketch Board.
