KOASTAL Kayaks is a family owned and operated kayak manufacturer that has been designing and making a great range of kayaks for many years out of its Bundaberg factory.
One of Koastal’s best-sellers is the Jackhammer, which is a purpose-built fishing craft that can also be converted to a recreational kayak thanks to new upgrades including the addition of Railblaza tracks. The new tracks allow you to mount heaps of gear such as sounders and cutting boards while still leaving room to reel the fish in.
At 2.7m long and weighing 20kg, it has all the features you would expect of a fishing kayak and remains very manageable.
Features include: three hatches (centre with bait bucket); bungee webbing front and rear; two flush-mount rod holders; one Railblaza track moulded into each side; a Railblaza MiniPort rod mount; Cooper anchor plus 10m of rope; paddle and deluxe seat; and a 10-year warranty.
The Jackhammer is offered in a great colour range, or you can customise your own colour. Priced at just $699, the Jackhammer is a quality Australian-made kayak at a very affordable price.
