This second generation of our flagship model has been five years in the making, drawing inspiration from the Crescent Community. A kayak’s spirit is the way it performs and interacts with the water which is why the LiteTackle II was built on the same patented hull design as the original LiteTackle. Whether you’re an avid angler or always looking for adventure, the LiteTackle II was designed for you. Hull Design The LiteTackle II is built on the already successful hull design of the original LiteTackle and the signature paddling performance Crescent is known for. The hull has a bulbous bow that rides higher in rougher water and adds volume for standing in the cockpit. A full-length keel enhances tracking and speed. The sidewalls sit right at the water level to reduce drag and enhance secondary stability. The hull also features a transducer scupper that works with graphs mounted on the new cockpit console. New Hatch & Console System We designed a more secure and feature-rich hatch with a webbed hinge and dual pull-tab bungees for added compression and water resistance. An adjustable rod saver keeps rods secure and doubles as a paddle park. We maintained the large tankwell interior with industry-leading storage capacity in the hull. For additional kayak fishing rigging, we incorporated a custom, anodized aluminum GearTrac in the front center console. It’s perfect for mounting graphs to use with the new transducer scupper, a GoPro for filming, or additional rod stagers like the YakAttack Bullwinkle. Cockpit & Seat The cockpit on the LiteTackle II is open and clean with an extra rigid deck providing a solid standing platform. Flush-mounted YakAttack GearTracs, adjustable foot tracks, bungee paddle parks, and stash pockets come standard. The cockpit floor has a 2mm recess for our pad kit upgrade. Dual cupholders with bungees can accommodate all standard beverage sizes and stash trays are perfect for easily storing your shades, sunscreen, and tackle. Adjustable Height Seating offers ample tackle/gear storage under the seat. Our fully adjustable seats are hand-made in the Southeastern U.S. and feature a padded seat bottom. The new single-strap compression system keeps the seat extra secure and switching between the high and low positions a breeze. Rear Tankwell The passthrough rear tankwell in the LiteTackle II doesn’t compromise on storage fitting all popular coolers, dry bags, and YakAttack BlackPaks. Dual mighty mounts add additional rigging options. We integrated our new Tankwell Cam Strap Storage System (patent pending), the quickest and most efficient way to secure gear. YakAttack GearTracs with adjustable bungees offer additional storage and rigging options. The rear deck plate doubles the internal storage and hull access—perfect for mounting a Power Pole or Torqeedo to the stern of your LiteTackle II. Video
