Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 – The Ultimate Pedal-Drive Fishing Machine

Hands-Free Fishing with the Industry’s Best Pedal Drive

The Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 is the most decorated pedal-drive fishing kayak in its class, designed for the angler who demands high performance, rock-solid stability, and maintenance-free reliability. At the heart of this vessel is the award-winning PDL Drive, which provides instant forward and reverse maneuverability. Unlike other pedal systems, the Old Town PDL drive is backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty, ensuring you spend more time on the water and less time in the shop.

The “pedal-to-prop” efficiency of this boat is unmatched. Whether you are battling a headwind or trying to hold your position against a river current, the PDL 106 allows you to keep your hands on your rod and your eyes on the prize. It’s the perfect blend of a compact, manageable size and the heavy-duty features found on much larger tournament kayaks.

Performance, Stability, and Specialized Features

The Sportsman PDL 106 is built on a specialized Double-U Hull platform that offers incredible primary and secondary stability. With a 36-inch beam, this kayak is a dedicated “stand-and-fish” platform. The deck is reinforced and covered in premium non-slip EVA foam pads, providing a quiet, comfortable surface that reduces noise while you’re stalking shallow-water species.

• Instant Forward & Reverse: No knobs to turn or levers to pull—simply pedal backward to reverse. This is critical for boat control when a fish dives under the hull or you’re approaching a dock.

• The PDL Drive Console: The drive unit is fully sealed and even floats if accidentally dropped. It features a 6-inch waterproof storage hatch right in the center console for your keys, phone, or leader line.

• Superior Seating: The Premium Sportsman Seat uses high-breathability mesh to keep you cool and dry. It is adjustable for both height and leg length, providing the lumbar support needed for sunrise-to-sunset sessions.

FULL SPECIFICATIONS & Item Details

Optimized for the Modern Angler

Old Town has considered every detail of the fishing experience. The Sportsman PDL 106 includes a custom tackle boxthat slides under the seat and a large, open bow hatch with a click-seal cover for secure dry storage. The oversized tank well in the rear is designed to fit standard fishing crates or the Suspenz storage racks you may already have in your garage.

The Universal Transducer Mount allows you to install your favorite fish finder in minutes without drilling into the hull. Plus, the compact 10’6″ length makes it significantly easier to transport and store than larger 13-foot models—it fits easily in a truck bed and is highly maneuverable in tight, timber-filled creeks.
