Our take on the Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 Pedal Sit-on-Top Kayak

The Sportsman PDL 106 is a 10-foot-6 sit-on-top fishing kayak built around Old Town's forward/reverse pedal drive, so your hands stay free for casting and netting. At 36 inches wide and rated to 450 lb, it is one of the most stable and load-friendly kayaks in its length class, though at 76 lb it is heavy to car-top alone. It suits anglers who fish lakes, rivers and sheltered coastal water and want to cover distance without paddling. Against paddle-only 10-foot fishing kayaks it trades weight and simplicity for hands-free propulsion; against longer pedal kayaks it turns tighter but tracks less straight in open water.

Best forAnglers who want hands-free pedaling while castingStand-up fishing in calm lakes and slow riversLarger or heavier paddlers needing high capacityKayakers who want forward and reverse without a paddle

Questions and answers

Can you stand up in the Sportsman PDL 106?
Yes. The 36-inch-wide hull is stable enough that most anglers stand to cast in calm water. It is less comfortable standing in chop or current.
Does the pedal drive go in reverse?
Yes. The PDL drive pedals forward and backward, which helps with positioning and backing off snags.
How does it compare with the Sportsman 120 PDL?
The 106 is shorter and easier to turn and transport, but the 120 tracks straighter and rides rough water better. Choose the 106 for tight water and car-topping, the 120 for open water.
Is it stable enough for a beginner?
Yes. The wide hull and high capacity make it forgiving for new pedal kayakers, though the weight takes some getting used to off the water.
Can it handle shallow water?
It pedals in moderate depth, but the drive needs clearance. In very shallow water you pull the drive and paddle.
What is included with the kayak?
It comes with the PDL pedal drive, the Element seat and molded rod and gear storage. A paddle is not included.
Where is the Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 Pedal Sit-on-Top Kayak cheapest?
At Backcountry, for $2,799.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 Pedal Sit-on-Top Kayak?
