Hey everyone!

So, after months of debating whether I needed *another* kayak (don’t we all?), I finally took the plunge and treated myself to the Feelfree Lure 11.5 fishing kayak. Let me tell you, this kayak is like the Swiss Army knife of watercraft—so versatile and darn comfy! Here are my thoughts:

• Comfort: First things first, the seat. It’s like sitting in a La-Z-Boy! The Gravity Seat is adjustable and I felt like I was lounging in my living room while floating down the river. My rear end never felt sore, even after spending an entire day out.
• Stability: This kayak is stable enough that I could stand up and do a little jig without taking an unscheduled swim. Perfect for casting, or, you know, practicing your balance dance moves. It’ll hold steady, so no need to worry about a wet surprise.
• Storage: I’m not saying I overpack, but this kayak makes it nearly impossible to run out of space. Between the front and rear gear storage, I had room for tackle boxes, a cooler—even my dog hopped aboard and had his own little space!
• Features: The Lure 11.5 comes with a removable sonar pod which is perfect for those of you who love your fish finders, or as I like to call it, the “fish whisperer” tool. And the Flush Rod Holders? Game changer for when you need both hands to hold your celebratory fishing snack!
• Portability: At 74 lbs, it’s not the lightest kayak on the market, but the built-in wheels are a lifesaver. Trust me, your back will thank you! I’m always grateful when I can roll it rather than lug it around like some sort of sweaty pack mule.

So, that’s my take! I’ve had the Lure 11.5 out on rivers, lakes, and even tackled some mild rapids—and lived to tell the tale. I’m curious, has anyone else tried this kayak? What do you think? Is there a clever paddling or fishing hack I haven’t discovered yet?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 😊

Congrats on the new addition to your kayak family! 🎉 Sounds like you’ve scored a top-notch ride with the Feelfree Lure 11.5. I mean, a La-Z-Boy on water? Who wouldn’t want to lounge while conquering the high (and low) seas?! 🚣‍♂️ Here are a few things I’d love to explore if I get my hands on one:

• River Raves: I’m all about the stability for some impromptu dance moves. 🕺 Just imagine organizing a kayak dance-off mid-river. Who’s in?!
• Canine Adventures: Love that your dog gets to join in the fun! 🐶 Have you tried training your pup to bark only when they spot fish? Might take “man’s best friend” to the next level!
• Snack Strategies: When you mention “celebratory fishing snack,” I immediately think of attaching snack holders to the rod holders. Snacks and fish, what more could you ask for?
• Travel Tunes: I’m intrigued by the idea of adding a waterproof speaker to accompany those paddling sessions with some tunes. 🎶 Ever tried it?

And how cool are those built-in wheels? Next thing you know, kayaks will have autopilot and we’ll just be sipping cold drinks! 🍹 Happy paddling—may your adventures be as stable as that kayak of yours! 😄
