The Rocket 9.8ft is a two-piece sit-on-top fishing kayak with a foot-pedal propeller drive that gives forward and instant reverse without lifting a paddle. Its longer hull tracks straighter and covers water faster than the 9.5ft models, yet it still splits in two for car boots and apartment storage. The 400lb capacity, 35.4in W-hull, rail tracks, hatch, stadium seat and rod holders make it a serious fishing platform. It suits anglers who want hands-free propulsion and portability, and it competes with pedal kayaks that cost more and demand roof racks.

Riders rate it highly for the hands-free propeller drive and the convenience of splitting it for transport. The instant reverse and stable W-hull come up often as the reasons it works for fishing.
The Rocket is a 9.8 ft sit-on-top fishing kayak with a propeller drive. The drive gives full forward and reverse control with your feet, so you can back away from obstacles, hold position in current and maneuver around docks and structure without a paddle. Your hands stay free for the rod.
The hull is rotomolded polyethylene with a W-hull design for stability, including for standing casts. It breaks into two sections that fit in the boot of most mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks, with no roof rack, foam pads or tie-down straps needed. Assembly takes about 5 minutes and needs no tools.
It comes with a large storage hatch, accessory rail tracks, a stadium seat and rod holders. The longer hull tracks straighter and paddles more efficiently than the 9.5 ft model.
