Tackle Pod™ – innovation at your fingertips
The removable Tackle Pod™ is at the heart of the Profish Reload. Pre-load your fishfinder, battery, transducer, and tackle at home, then drop it straight into your kayak at launch. It makes rigging simple, keeps electronics safe, and transforms your kayak into a ready-to-fish machine.
Generous storage & rigging options
A large rear tankwell with bungee system provides room for Chill Pod, bait tanks, or Viking Insulated Fish Bag. The bow hatch adds more expedition storage, while in-hull access points keep gear dry and secure. With 6 flush-mounted rod holders and multiple Railblaza-ready StarPorts, you can customise your setup for trolling, live bait, or fly fishing.
Surf and offshore performance
Designed in New Zealand waters, the Profish Reload thrives in surf launches and offshore swells. Its narrow bow slices through chop, while the stable midsection keeps you steady when fighting big fish. This is a kayak proven by anglers around the world in some of the toughest conditions.
Motor and rudder options
The Profish Reload is Rudder Ready, compatible with the Viking Rudder Kit for superior tracking and control. Its stern design also allows simple integration of Bixpy, Asiwo, Newport, Minn Kota, Watersnake, and many more motor systems. This gives you the freedom to fish harder, travel further, and explore waters that paddle-only kayaks can’t reach.
