They went on clearance in January 2 yrs ago, couldnt pass it up for that price, I sold both my Kaku Wahoos to cover the cost. I agree about the anchor, I have one but havent used it once and always leave it at home.

I have the slayer 10 and love it, being able to make small adjustments to either correct position or backup in instant has been a game changer for me fishing. The only time I would like to have a trolling motor is simply running from spot to spot or over longer distances. I do leave the seat as well as the propel drive in place and it ends up being pretty heavy all in. I did pick up a c-tug cart for it and although it works well for moving it around its a pain to get it underneath and strapped into place. I had my heart set on a Wilderness radar 115 to have the option of adding the pedal drive later on but ended up getting the slayer for a little over $1000 from Cabelas. I think your best bet is to demo as many as possible from any/all dealers in your area. Its a large investment for a plastic boat and the worst thing is having buyers remorse after you have already bought it. This slayer is my third yak in three years.

I think stuff like this is really hit and miss, I got a Native slayer propel 10 kayak from Cabelas on clearance for a little over $1000 which was around 50% off. I was thinking it was an error and I would get the dreaded cancellation email but it showed up about a week later to my house.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I appreciate it.

Ive been lurking around the site for awhile and decided it was time to make an account. Im 40 and grew up fishing, got out of it for several years as life got in the way but I picked it back up this year in a big way and also bought my first kayak to fish out of. Im in Portland TN not far from Hook1 and mainly fish around Old Hickory. I mainly fish for bass but would hook anything with fins. I dont eat fish so I only catch and release, Im also a firm believer in tread lightly. I look forward to learning better techniques and rigging from some of you, thanks for your time.
