A True Tandem Technical Fishing Kayak for Today’s Angler
A true tandem fishing kayak by Aquaglide. The Inflatable Blackfoot Angler 160 is for the angler that wants all the bells and whistles of a rotomolded kayak without the weight, difficult transportation and storage. The 160 is outfitted with two (2) AG Framed Seats with high or low positions and features a breathable easy to adjust backrest with storage pocket and under seat tackle storage. The 40″ wide Inflatable Drop-stitch hard bottom floor with EVA traction pad allows for a comfortable and stable standing platform for casting. The 800 LBS capacity and 16′ x 40″ cockpit with bungee storage at the bow and stern of the Blackfoot 160 allows for ample room for two paddlers, fishing tackle, dry bags, coolers and other gear. The newly integrated Mollie Plates and mesh bags are perfect for extra storage or the optional Aquaglide Cup Holder, tool bags and first aid kits.
The Aquaglide Blackfoot 160 is made of single layer commercial grade Duratex material and welded seams for lightweight and durability. A fish ruler is printed on the pontoon for easy access. The Drop-stitch inflatable hard bottom floor is made in the same way as an inflatable Stand Up Paddle and allows for a stable solid standing area as well as giving the kayak increased glide, durability and rigidity. Aquaglide has added EVA deck pad for added traction. 5 Scupper drains in the floor allow for quick easy drainage and allows for the kayak to be paddled on lakes, rivers or even mild whitewater. The bow and stern is outfitted with a durable nose cone to protect the nose from damage and includes an easy to carry handle and universal accessory mount for, anchor systems or action cameras. The built-in splash guard helps keep the cockpit dry while paddling. A universal US Fin Box allows for interchangeable fins to fit your paddling conditions. Included is an tooless fin screw and plate for easy installation of the the Aquaglide Posi-track Weedless Fin for effortless tracking.
With the Blackfoot 160, Aquaglide has been able to create a kayak with plenty of room for two people to fish and all your tackle and extra gear. A boat with performance of a hard shelled kayak. Tracks straight and has a nice long glide. All the features an serious angler is looking for, and it fits in the trunk or truck bed.
The AG Framed Seat allows for a high or low sitting position. Setting the seat to the higher level allows for better visibility and easy casting while the lower seat position will be more stable. The breathable back rest with built in storage pocket is fully adjustable with two easy straps. The under seat shelf is perfect for storing tackle boxes and other easy to access items. The seat can easily be removed for a beach chair while on land.
The Aquaglide Fishing Cooler is included with Blackfoot. The soft cooler features 4 built in fishing rod holders, front pocket, zippable storage area for maps and paperwork as well as velcro on the bottom to secure to the floor of the kayak.
River Crossing 173L Storage Backpack comes with all Blackfoot model kayaks and features a fully zippered bag with outer paddle pocket comes with mesh side panels for drainage and breathability. For easy carry, padded shoulder and waist straps they can be easily stowed away when not in use. Eternal straps for attaching the AG Framed Seat. This allows for clean easy transportation and storage. The River Crossing bag even can be checked in as luggage on a flight.
