New $800 Jackson Kayak Bite Unveiled

At $799 the Bite becomes the new standard in “price-point” fishing kayaks in its class with the increased stability, better tracking, JK comfort and accessory versatility you expect in a Jackson Kayak without skimping on quality.

Jackson Kayak Bite $800 Payne Outdoors

With the trend in price-point fishing kayaks tending towards compromise in hull quality, performance, gear management, and comfort, Jackson Kayak’s new Bite fishing kayak at $799 retail, doesn’t cut corners.  With an 11’3″ hull designed by Jackson Kayak’s top hull shapers and at a class-leading 35″ in width, the Bite performs to the paddle-ability and stand-ability standards you are used to in a Jackson Kayak.  It also is estimated at under 68 lbs with seat making it easy to manage in and out of the water. 

The Bite’s comfort was not skimped on either with the addition of a brand new trim-able framed seating set up and plenty of room to stand comfortably.  The new open concept deck has been long awaited from Jackson giving the paddler ample storage space fore and aft of the kayak, supported by a system of touring-style bungee cords.  The deck will feature numerous storage placeholders for standard sized tackle boxes.  

Jackson Kayak has also included their popular flush mounted rod holders, as well as recessed cup holders, gear tracks on both sides, adjustable foot braces and a newly developed hog trough recess to make the Bite a full-featured kayak.

“This project has been the result of an exercise to keep the level of quality you expect to see in a Jackson Kayak but at a lower cost,”  notes James McBeath, Jackson Kayak’s Marketing Director.  “We didn’t want to leave our core fishing kayak values behind in this build.  We wanted comfort, paddling performance, stand-ability and immediate access to your gear.  The end result is a great all-around fishing platform that will be perfect for those wanting to get into kayak fishing, for those who wanted a lighter weight kayak and for those running livery or guiding businesses where quality is important.”

The Bite prototype is being displayed at the Paddle Sports Retailer show in Oklahoma City this coming week at Booth 705.

Coming December 2018.
