The Tarpon Angler series of fishing kayaks from Wilderness Systems is a true gem. It should be since the standard recreational Tarpon kayak is one of the best ranked sit-on-top kayaks. In fact, it received the 2008 Sea Kayaker Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Award for Best Sit-on-top Kayak. So, what’s difference between the Tarpon and Tarpon Angler? For the most part they are about the same. But, the Tarpon Angler fishing kayak comes with two flush mount rod holders behind the seat, a Scotty removable rod holder (for the SlideTrax mounting system) and an anchor (with storage bag).

Highlights
TriggerLock footbrace system This style has a trigger behind the foot peg, not to be confused with the Slidelock Foot Braces, with adjustment stick.
Phase 3 SOT seat provides an unprecedented fit and comfort. It sits above the deck, on a frame, which makes for a very dry ride with adjustable lumbar support and can adjust the height of the backrest.
Comfort Carry Handles are common on Perception, and Wilderness Systems kayaks. Found on bow and stern, on the sides of sit-on-top kayaks and in cockpit centers on some sit-on kayaks. Rubber grip is 5 inches long; webbing strap is 1” wide.
SlideTrax System that allows paddlers to accessorize their boat without drilling out holes or using major tools.
