Tangerine Lite Tackle for me and Citrus Ultra Lite Tackle for her, kids (, and me). We love em'! Great video, simple yet informative. You sold me on it before this video, this is something I've been eager to see to get Crescent and the Tackle-series of kayaks out there more. Keep it up guys, you're doing it right and leading by example!
My wife and I have an ink ultra lite and the litetackle in sand. Both are awesome on the water, the litetackle is surprisingly easy to maneuver. We love the open deck/no center console, it’s a great feature if you want to stand up or if you like to take your dog.
“Own one”. “Great kayak no complaints”. I Fish rivers and this Kayak offers great paddling and stability. Going to buy the Ultra Lite for my daughter. Thank you for the well thought out design!!!
This kayak is truly a joy to paddle:) It really is like the difference in a regular passenger car and a Porsche/Corvette when comparing to most "Stable" kayaks out there. I have & love the Jackson Coosa, which is the reason this one caught my eye.. I love the way that this Crescent and the Coosa have similar rockered profile. A rockered profile makes quick turns second nature. This Crescent does track way better and is much easier to paddle upstream due to staying straight at each paddle stroke. I love both of these and don't feel in my circumstances that I want to part with either of these crafts. The fact that these two have differences, is the reason that I want both. Variety is the spice of life!! The Crescent is priced much more attractively and it is a very high quality built craft. In other words; It's not just a good craft for the money, it's an exceptional craft at any kayak price point. It's definitely welcomed in my quiver of yaks.. Thanks for explaining the hull design in great detail. I feel this is an area that is overlooked by most people and is of the greatest importance. Thanks for this creation!!
John, thanks for an excellent, thought out review and comparison! A lot of times people say what a kayak can do but it is important to us as well to show the capabilities through the design (hull specifically).
Why am I just now seeing this kayak! LOL Headwater, did a review led me here. Awesome! What... tolling motor mount? I love that will hold 8' solid rods! plenty of mount options.
Thanks for considering us. Check out this video by Headwaters if you're looking for how it compares to the rest of the market th-cam.com/video/wc2f7xglcEI/w-d-xo.html
Looking hard into these kayaks. Only hearing great things about them. Any plans for a middle size between the ultralite and lite tackle? Maybe like a 11+ footer?
I am super impressed with the work yall do and I am extremely excited to Announce that I will be using #CrescentKayak in the next tournament season. I hope to represent yall well. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication
Thoughts on adding a bag to the front hatch; or an optional additional accessory that drop is with a bag and has a hinge like the NuCanoe Frontier and Pursuit?
I've been in a tarpon 160i for a while now. This looks like a great upgrade at a great price. Question - how would you route cables to mount a fishfinder?
This boat has all the features I'm after. I'm a big guy that weighs 390 pounds, 5'8", big belly. I'm overweight, but active...former football and lacrosse player. Sorry for the details, but I want to create an idea of my build. My current kayak is a nucanoe frontier 12. Great kayak - well built, super stable, clean and open deck. However, it is a bear to paddle. Hence I'm after a high weight capacity SOT kayak that's narrower the my Frontier and faster to paddle. Enter the Litetackle... I see a weight capacity of 450 pounds. While my weight is below this capacity, I'm concerned I'll experience a decline in performance. The Frontier is 650 pounds in capacity, so there's more available buoyancy for my size. Any thoughts?
Hey Matthew, the best thing to do is contact your closest dealer to see about scheduling a demo. The LiteTackle and CK1 Venture should work well for you in terms of stability, capacity, and paddleability. That being said, every paddler is as unique as the waterways they paddle. Check out the dealer locator on our site to find one closest to you: www.crescentkayaks.com/dealer-locator/
Are you guys looking at having a hatch cover with notches that match the two notches in the hull at the back of the hatch? This looks like it would work well as a rod stager
Hey Carson, we currently do not have any plans to modify the hatch designs, but the notches at the back of the hatch/front of the cockpit are molded-in rod stagers. For more functionality, we highly recommend installing a YakAttack Bullwinkle. Our Director of Specialized Fishing, Drew Gregory, swears by them.
Next vid maybe take the ring off. I think this looks like my next boat. I like the set up, wish it had small hatch between feet like my perception pescador pro.
@@crescent-kayaks I'm curious about the front hatch design. A tray design would allow better "on top" stowing and hinges would be better to access from the cockpit. That top goes overboard and you have a problem.
Thanks Bobby! We are working on developing that region but for now the best option would be to order through ack.com and have it shipped direct. They have great shipping rates and will do an awesome job for you.
How is the speed and glide on this kayak? I'm in a cuda 12 right now and has great speed and ease of keeping it's glide while paddling. I know they say the wider the boat the slower and more effort to paddle it. My cuda is 31" wide compared to this one at 34"
We put a lot of thought into the hull design of this boat with a major focus on the quality of paddling. In our opinion, it's the best boat in its class ;). Check out this vid from Headwaters Kayak for a third-party review on the paddling performance: th-cam.com/video/wc2f7xglcEI/w-d-xo.html We always suggest giving a boat a test ride to make sure it's the perfect fit for you.

Hey man, good vid, and awesome looking yak, couple things though... the holes in hull for the deck support and rigid structure.... do those not affect performance? Do they not cause drag? Also a lil worried about them as several kayaks have had issues with scupper holes cracking and well... the more there are the more I worry about having issues with that. So, what's the warranty like? If I ever had an issue like that would you do good on it? And finally, is it a good durable HDPE that will hold up and last well? Or is it softer like some others that age quicker?

Took three years, but I just ground my Pescador Pro 120 to it's death fishing our rocky creeks. Seriously considering this as a replacement.

This looks so nice I'm going to buy a kayak in spring 2020. I want to explore, camp and maybe fish a little. This one has my attention.
Damn this thing is nice. Lot of thoughtful engineering.
That hull design 👌
Thanks Matthew!

That looks amazing! Incredible price too. Is the stash box on both sides or just one side? Very nice kayak!
Texas Fishing Force it is on both sides
Are there any plans for a 13' to 13-1/2' in the works ?
Its good to used the solid colors
Bro… the price for that is unreal.. like wowww… if you guys plan on dropping a paddle one… I’m 110% in… I’m already 100% in looking to get one ASAP
Just ordered mine! Im so excited. I’m new to kayaking, so where do you suggest I buy the clip on accessories? Looking for rod holder & cup holder

once crescent kayaks come out with a 13 to a 13 1/2 kayak I'm buying one. I'm really liking there design.
How would you go about mounting a fish finder and transducer?
Just needs a beer holder!

Brian Richard haha, little noisy eh? Newer ones have no ring 😂

Nice Kayak
Impressive yak! Is there a Crescent dealer close to the Pacific Northwest? I see Headwaters have them in northern CA. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Bobby! We are working on developing that region but for now the best option would be to order through ack.com and have it shipped direct. They have great shipping rates and will do an awesome job for you.
Okay thanks so much! I was chatting with ACK today about it!
Is that the Sea foam color?

sweet tune at opening...
How does it perform for bigger guys? Me + gear is around 300lbs.
I seriously want one.
We have larger guys on it and the boat can handle it and still perform very well.
With scupper plugs you're looking at 500lbs weight cap.
@@crescent-kayaks Awesome Thank you for the Reply! Im gonna try and test one at headwaters soon enough.
@@crescent-kayaks can you tandem it on occasion is can wrangle deck space for another person?
"$899"?? Not here in 2022!! Still cool Kayak though.
if this had a high/low seat it would be a no brainer for me. Still looking at this hard tho
T Groves coming ASAP! As in prototypes tested and production coming
@@jamesderbecker8562 I want to believe you but this is the internet. Do you have proof?
T Groves haha yeah. Email me off website and I’ll send you details.
