I’m totally new to fishing kayaks and I’m overwhelmed by all of the options. Are there any recommended brands? How much should I expect to spend?

    I bought a Lifetime Teton angler kayak last year and absolutely love it. Very stable and plenty of room for gear/poles. I can even fit my dog on the front. It looks like they run upwards of 500USD but I found mine on sale and they knocked off a damaged discount for a scratch on the bottom which brought it down to about $300. Keep an eye out for seasonal sales.
    Have fun!

      Thank you for the recommendation. That fits my budget too. Are you able to attach pole holders in the back?

        There are two pole holders near the back and also mounting tracks for additional accessories along both sides.
