The proven Coosa HD hull, built for the shallows
01 — HULL & STABILITY

The proven Coosa HD hull, built for the shallows

The Coosa FD pairs the top-selling Coosa HD hull and deck layout with a wide, stable platform engineered for rivers, lakes, and saltwater alike. Included deck pads give you confident footing when you stand up to cast or sight-fish.

  • Coosa HD hull and deck design, 12'7" x 35" wide
  • 450 lb weight capacity for gear-heavy days
  • Stand-and-cast deck pads for quiet, stable footing
Flex Drive Mark IV: pedal power that clears obstacles
02 — PROPULSION

Flex Drive Mark IV: pedal power that clears obstacles

The patented Flex Drive Mark IV retracts its tri-blade propeller into the hull when you beach or run over submerged obstacles, so you can push into water other pedal kayaks can't. Four years of refinement make it faster, quieter, and more durable than ever.

  • Retracting prop articulates for deep and shallow water
  • Forward and reverse operation with hand-steering rudder
  • Daggerboard-protected tri-blade prop stays clear of debris
New for 2026: the Comfort Seat 5.0
03 — SEAT & COMFORT

New for 2026: the Comfort Seat 5.0

Every 2026 Jackson fishing model ships with the redesigned Comfort Seat 5.0, featuring a deeper ergonomic base for better posture and a lower center of gravity. The EZ Hi-Lo system raises, lowers, and trims fore-aft to dial in balance.

  • Comfort Seat 5.0 with deeper ergonomic base
  • EZ Hi-Lo height adjustment for casting or cruising
  • Fore-aft trim to balance load and boat
Rigged and ready to fish right out of the box
04 — STORAGE & RIGGING

Rigged and ready to fish right out of the box

From bow to stern, the Coosa FD is built to carry and mount everything an angler needs. A continuous gear track, large latching hatches, and a cooler-sized tank well keep tackle, electronics, and catch organized.

  • Front and rear hatches plus Orion Core 25-sized tank well
  • Bow-to-stern gear track and pass-through electronics routing
  • Four-hole stern pattern for PowerPole or trolling motor

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
