Viking Kayaks Profish 400 Fishing Kayak

One of the most versatile fishing kayaks available

At 4.1m long, with a beam of 78cm and a capacity of 175kg the Profish 400 from Viking Kayaks is roomy, stable and even with larger paddlers on board it will still have plenty of gear capacity.  It has good tracking characteristics and is easy to paddle yet the whole package weighs just 30.5kg which means simple car topping and easy carrying down to the launch point. The sleek upswept bow copes with choppy waves and swell with ease, making this a really great kayak for saltwater fishing on open coasts.

Designed by kayak fishermen and built in New Zealand the Viking Profish 400 is made from high quality roto-moulded HDPE plastic and comes with plenty of kit to keep the demanding kayak angler happy. There are 6 flush mounted rod holders, 2 on the gunnels facing forward for tackling up and 4 on the rear facing backwards for storage and trolling.

The central storage unit is topped by a wooden chopping board for bait prep. There is a large oval hatch up front, just like on its bigger brother the Reload which is ideal for a trolley such as a C-Tug.  An 8"access hatch is situated just forward of the seat for small items and bungee storage on the bow is there if you need it. The rear tank well is generously sized and as well as room for a standard crate there are fittings to clip in the optional Viking Kayaks Chill Pod for keeping your catch (or gear) protected from the elements.

There are adjustable footrests so you can get them just right for your leg length, a comfortable contoured seating area and plenty of carry handles including chunky moulded side handles for easy transport of the kayak from car to shore and back again. There is also an optional rudder kit for those who regularly paddle in challenging conditions or prefer the ease of use a rudder provides.

The Viking Profish 400 is one of the most versatile fishing kayaks available - whether you are a beginner or expert, fishing salt or fresh water, you really can't go wrong with this well designed and stable fishing kayak.
