The Rocket 9.8ft is a two-piece sit-on-top pedal kayak built for anglers who want a longer hull without a roof rack or a trailer. Its fin drive is quiet and hands-free, and the W-hull is stable enough for standing casts. The extra length over shorter modular kayaks gives straighter tracking and more speed, while the 400lb capacity, forward hatch and accessory rails cover serious fishing setups. Owners rate it highly, though the two-piece joint and the weight of the sections are the usual talking points.

Owners rate the Rocket 9.8ft highly, praising its stability, quiet fin drive and the convenience of splitting it for transport and storage. Complaints center on the two-piece joint and the effort of moving the sections.
The Rocket 9.8ft is a modular fishing kayak with a fin drive pedal system. It breaks into two sections that fit in the boot of a mid-size car or SUV without a roof rack. The sections can also stand upright for storage in an apartment or hallway.
The hull is rotomolded polyethylene with a W-hull sit-on-top design. It is stable enough for standing casts in calm to moderate conditions. The fin drive is quiet and hands-free, and it works well in shallow water. Unlike a propeller drive, it does not offer instant reverse.
It has a large forward storage hatch and accessory rail tracks for rod holders and electronics mounts. A stadium seat is included. Assembly takes about 5 minutes and needs no tools.
