The Recon is a 10ft sit-on-top fishing kayak with a pedal propeller drive that gives hands-free forward and instant reverse. It splits into two sections so it fits in a car boot and stores in an apartment without a roof rack. A built-in transducer recess and wiring routing make it electronics-ready without drilling. Its 35in beam and 430lb capacity suit anglers who fish open water and tidal current but lack storage or a roof rack; pedal kayaks from Hobie and Native are more refined but are one-piece hulls that need transport and storage space.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 30 ratings. Owners like the hands-free pedal drive, the instant reverse and the fact that it breaks down for car transport and apartment storage. Complaints center on the two-piece assembly and the drive in shallow water.
The Recon 10ft is a modular sit-on-top fishing kayak with a propeller drive. The hull is rotomolded polyethylene with a W-hull shape and measures 10 feet long. It comes apart into two sections, so it fits in a car boot without a roof rack.
The propeller drive is pedal-powered and gives forward and reverse control with your feet, which keeps both hands free to fish. Instant reverse lets you hold position in current, back away from structure and maneuver in tight spots.
A built-in recess in the hull holds a compatible transducer without drilling. Wiring can be routed through the scupper holes, and the fish finder unit can be positioned behind the seat. The recess accepts a transducer puck, so check its dimensions against your transducer's specifications. Assembly takes about 5 minutes and needs no tools.
