this is my review of the Shakespeare Angler 120
The build
quality of the kayak is superb with clean lines and nicely moulded features
As well as well thought-out features the
most striking being a clever removable console pod.
The Shakespeare Angler 120 is 12ft 5inches long and comes ready fitted
with 3 rod holders 2 flush mounts and a Scotty on the console

| The Shakespeare Angler 120 |
A sleek kayak with some really clever
innovative ideas note the rear bungee eyes they are on the inside of the rear tank well this is to prevent damage when transporting
Paddle keepers are fitted as standard
and anchor points for the seat
The front and rear handles are fitted
through an extra strong area of plastic and the rear has the drain plug
The centre console id very clever its
made from the same plastic as the kayak and its hollow blow moulded so if you were to modify this console by putting a 4 inch
screw top hatch in the side then you could fit your fish finder and battery to the console then when not in use or during
transport remove the hole console together with fitted fish finder
The kayak comes with a dry box for
your car keys /mobile phone ect
Once the console is removed you have a very usable centre console with moulded
in drinks holder and small bits tray this really gives you a very roomy cockpit to work from
The front hatch is secured with bungee securing underneath the hard hatch lid
is a neoprene hatch cover so its all very watertight I think the the Shakespeare Angler
120 is a very good kayak with lots of clever innovative features that will serve an angler very well the recommended retail
of the Shakespeare Angler 120 is £699 white water consultancy are the uk distributors for the shakespeare range of kayaks.
