Native Forge 12 Fishing Kayak
Pickup available at Liv Outside Storefront - 271 Ecclestone Dr, Bracebridge, Ontario
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Introducing the Forge 12: a fishing kayak built as an open platform, so you decide what it becomes. Stock doesn't mean basic. Every Forge comes standard with stand-up stability, a dry ride on a raised floor with 600 lb of capacity, a smartly designed open floor plan, and hands-free foot-controlled rudder steering. From there, build it your way: keep it simple and paddle, add our new xRange pedal drive with its all-new steering system, or go electric with an easy-to-install motorization package. With a smooth, rounded bow that handles everything from rivers to bays, the Forge is the most accessible way into the Native lineup, built to perform well above it.
