  • Our take on the Jackson Kayak Bite Rec

    The Bite Rec is Jackson Kayak's recreational take on its Bite Angler sit-on-top, sharing that boat's hull in an 11-foot-6, 35-inch-wide package. The wide beam and open deck make it stable and roomy, and the comfort seat and recessed storage suit long days on flat water. It is heavier than many recreational kayaks at about 70 pounds, so car-topping and portaging take effort. Anglers who want a fishing-ready deck get the same platform as the Angler line without the rigging, while paddlers who mostly tour will find it slow and wide compared with narrower recreational hulls.

    Best forAnglers wanting a stable, open fishing platformBeginners and casual paddlers on lakes and slow riversPaddlers who sit and cast rather than tourBuyers who want Bite Angler hull space without full fishing rigging

    What people mention
    • StabilityPraisedRiders say the wide hull feels secure for standing, casting and getting in and out.

    • Deck spacePraisedThe open deck is described as roomy for gear, coolers and legroom.
    • SpeedCriticisedPaddlers note it tracks slowly and takes effort over distance compared with narrower kayaks.
    • Seat comfortPraisedThe comfort seat is called supportive for multi-hour sessions.
    • RiggingMixedSome anglers want rod holders and mounts included; others are fine adding their own.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Bite Rec the same as the Bite Angler?
    It uses the same hull and deck platform as the Bite Angler, but it is set up as a recreational boat with less fishing rigging. Expect the same stability and room, not the Angler's full accessory package.
    Can I stand up and fish from it?
    Yes. The 35-inch width gives it the stability most paddlers need to stand and cast on calm water. Wind and chop still call for care.
    How hard is it to transport?
    At about 70.5 pounds it is a two-person or cart job for many owners. A kayak cart and a low roof rack make loading much easier.
    Does it come with rod holders?
    The Rec is a recreational setup, so do not count on factory rod holders. Plan on adding flush-mount or track-mounted holders if you fish seriously.
    Is it good for beginners?
    Yes. The wide, stable hull and comfortable seat suit new paddlers on lakes and slow rivers. It is less suited to long-distance touring.
    What is included with the kayak?
    It comes with the comfort seat and a bungee tie-down system, plus recessed storage areas. Paddle, PFD and fishing accessories are separate.
