Kaskazi Marlin Fishing Kayak Review
The Kaskazi Marlin is a fishing version of the Kaskazi Pelican. It has all the features and user friendly characteristics of the Pelican and is equipped with fishing accessories: Two rod holders and saddles for attaching tethers are fitted aft of the seat, a small hatch or bait box is fitted to the centre console, a plastic crate is accommodated in the recessed rear hatch and anchor trolley lines are fitted to both gunwales on the bow and the port gunwale on the stern. Carry handles are fitted on either side at the point of balance.
The Marlin is ideal for the catch-and-release angler who does not need the large fish box offered by the Dorado. It provides a light and manageable platform for angling, snorkelling and spear-fishing.
The Marlin is based on the Pelican sit on top expedition kayak which is fitted with accessories for angling. Its volume ensures excellent stability and load carrying capacity. The reliability and user-friendliness of the Marlin makes it very appealing as a day tripper and for recreational paddling. The angling accessories make it a very versatile recreational kayak.

The Marlin is another fantastic fishing kayak from the Kaskazi stable. This kayak is slim and lightweight yet it has excellent stability in the water. As with all the Kaskazi range it is a little more expensive than anything in the Ocean Kayak range, but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for, and with the Kaskazi Marlin you get quality. In my time as a kayak angler I have owned the ocean kayak p13, the scupper pro and now the Kaskazi Marlin. From those 3 kayaks the Marlin is streets ahead.
