As their name indicates, fishing kayaks are primarily geared toward anglers. Fishing kayaks are available as both sit-on-top and traditional sit-inside designs. They will typically have one or two recessed rod holders behind the cockpit and many have the option for a rod-holder or two towards the front of the cockpit. Some models have options for live-wells and anchors. Read about more types of kayaks.
