Native Watercraft Slayer Propel MAX 12.5: an all-round pedal kayak for lake and sea<\/h2>\n

Native Watercraft Slayer Propel MAX 12.5<\/strong> is one of the most popular Native models, updated to the MAX version. It's a 381 cm pedal fishing kayak that feels at home on a lake, in a sea bay and on the open sea near the shore. The longer hull is faster and holds its course more truly than 10 foot models.<\/p>\n

Since autumn 2024 the kayak comes with a PivotPro swivel seat. Together with the Propel drive, which lets you go forward and in reverse without using your hands, and the SpringBlade rudder, it's a serious fishing platform for long days on the water.<\/p>\n

\nFresh and salt water<\/strong>
\nThe manufacturer designed the MAX 12.5 for both fresh water and the sea. The long, narrow 86 cm hull cuts through waves well and paddles easily over long distances, and the SpringBlade rudder holds course even in a crosswind. The Propel drive lets you fish in a current while holding in one spot.\n<\/div>\n

\nElectronics and motor<\/strong>
\nThe front hatch has a small storage volume and room for a battery, and transducer cables run through an integrated hole in the hull. The transducer plate is built into the bottom, so no drilling is needed. Inserts built in at the front and rear make it easy to fit a Power-Pole Micro anchor or an electric motor.\n<\/div>\n

\nRoom for gear<\/strong>
\nOn both sides there is room for lure boxes, two horizontal rod positions, three moulded-in rod holders and a cup holder. The paddle splits and is stored on the side. Groove Track rails across the whole kayak suit accessories and the Sidekick wheel system.\n<\/div>\n

Propel pedal drive<\/h3>\n

Propel is a pedal drive with a propeller developed by Native. Pedalling forward moves the kayak forward, and pedalling backward instantly reverses it, with no switching. This is very handy while fishing: you can back away from a snagged lure, hold in a current or move closer to a fish while your hands stay free for the rod.<\/p>\n

The drive slots into a well in the middle of the kayak and is easy to remove. With the drive removed, the kayak is easier to carry and transport, and in the shallows or before stepping onto the shore you can pull it up so the propeller doesn't touch the bottom. After paddling at sea, rinsing the drive with fresh water is recommended.<\/p>\n

Weight and capacity<\/h3>\n

The hull weighs 43 kg, and about 57 kg complete with the drive and seat. With a 227 kg capacity, the kayak will carry the angler, battery, motor, anchor and all the gear for sea fishing. For a larger angler or long trips this is a safer choice than 10 foot models.<\/p>\n
