The Sportsman 120 is a 12-foot sit-on-top paddle kayak built for fishing, with a 500-pound total capacity and 415 pounds usable for paddler and gear. Its wide hull is very stable and tracks well for a boat this length, and the dual-layer Textilene seat with a 3D mesh mid-layer can be set high or low for all-day comfort. It suits anglers who want a roomy, steady platform and don't mind a heavy hull. Against pedal-driven fishing kayaks it is simpler and lighter on maintenance, but it gives up hands-free propulsion and weighs 79 pounds assembled.

The Old Town Sportsman 120 is a 12 ft sit-on-top paddle kayak for one angler. Its DoubleU Hull is stable enough to stand and fish from, and it glides quietly and tracks well. The deck has a large open cockpit and an oversized tank well in the stern.
The Element Seating System is a framed seat with dual-layer Textilene that is UV resistant, durable and easy to clean. A mid-layer of 3D mesh adds comfort and keeps the fabric breathable. The seat can be positioned high or low, slides fore and aft, and lifts out completely.
For fishing, the kayak has one forward-facing and two rear-facing flush-mounted rod holders, plus dedicated horizontal rod storage. Two tracks on the forward hull hold accessories, and a universal transducer mounting system is built in for a fish finder. A custom tackle box is included and fits under the seat. The sealed bow hatch gives dry storage.
