Bought my Loon 126 Angler a couple months ago, but should have
pressed the "check out" button at the BEGINNING of the summer,
so my wife and I could have enjoyed our kayaks for the whole
season (we bought her a Wilderness Pungo 120, which she also
likes a lot). Oh well, still managed to get out about five times, so I
am well able to say this is a great kayak. It is admittedly the first
I have owned, but I've been in a number of others in the past, and
this one is easily the most comfortable I've paddled. Very stable
(I'm 6'1" and about 220 lbs--yeah, I could stand to drop a few),
tracks well like other reviewers have said, and handles very nicely
in choppy conditions. I like the console, it's easy reach, and how it
easily secures firmly to the cockpit. I have not used the angler
features yet, but am looking forward to that next summer. Not
really much room for a normal tackle box between my legs, unless
maybe I take off the console, so I'll have to see about a flatter box
for selected lures and essentials depending on the type of water
I'm fishing. Anyway, this is a very nice and solid kayak that I'm
very happy with so far, and should get lots of "miles" out of.
Tracks well, quick and nimble, and lightweight for a kayak at this size.
If you're looking for a kayak for fishing on lakes or rivers look no
further. Comfort is second to none.
I ordered my Loon 126 in Urban Camo on a Sunday and it arrived
the following Thursday. I live in PA. I formerly used a Perception
Hook angler, 10 feet 6 inches in length. I enjoyed the Hook - it's a
GREAT beginner kayak and only $450 - but after a while I wanted
something faster on the water. I researched until I was on the
verge of blindness, read review after review, watched numerous
videos, and settled on the Loon 126 angler. Compared to the Hook
the Loon is a tad heavier but is far faster and smoother on the
water. I'm enjoying it a great deal. Compared to the Hook I feel I'm
getting far more out of each stroke of the paddle. Additionally, the
dry storage in the front is clutch. The removable dash (with the dry
storage) also has a gear mount but I've found the mount to be so
far forward that it's not all that practical to use. I've used the rod
holders to the rear almost exclusively.
The Loon feels very sturdy, is stable on the water, and tracks very
well. The seat, which everyone seems to rave about, is indeed nice.
Adjustments are easy, as are the foot-peg adjustments. Dry storage
in the rear is helpful, also.
Lastly, the color. I was scared that the Urban Camo would
essentially be white as one of the reviewers on here said his was. I
ordered it anyway and think the color is excellent. There's plenty of
white in it but it's hardly a white kayak.
All in all the Loon 126 angler is a great sit-in kayak and I'm very
happy I purchased it. Customer service with ACK was nothing short
of outstanding.
I've had this kayak for a few months now and feel I can give it a
fair review. I have taken it on a few slow river trips, some smaller
lake paddles, and a two-day, 40+ mile paddle that included large
lakes.
It isn't a cheap kayak by any stretch of the imagination but, at my
age, I pay for the seat. And this seat is worth the investment. I've
spent nearly 10hrs straight in this seat and my hips and back came
out of it feeling great (or as great as they'd feel having sat for so
long under any condition).
The removable dashboard is pretty slick. I don't have much use for
the USB pass-through, but the other features have proven handy.
The whole thing locks down pretty securely, and I've had no
concerns about it popping off. I've rolled the kayak over a few
times, too, and the dry box has done a good job thus far remaining
watertight.
The cockpit is very spacious. There's a nice bit of space between the
seatback and rear bulkhead. You can fit a 12pk back there, no
problem ;)
The initial stability is huge. You can easily stand in this boat. I
wouldn't do it quickly, but it can be done. Climbing back in from the
water is pretty easy, as well.
For a wide, comfy, boat, it paddles pretty fast. I've taken it through
some choppy lakes, with wicked winds, and it did really well
considering it's just a rec boat.
All-in-all, a great purchase if you are looking for a comfortable kayak
that you can take through a variety of conditions.
The kayak itself is as described an arguably the best sit-in kayak I've
used. Ample space along with an extremely comfortable seat make
this kayak usable on long trips. The only negative (which I view as
a large negative) is the color associated with the Urban Camo is
nowhere close to what is depicted in the image. It is mostly white
with lightly speckled black areas. If I knew this was going to be the
color, I would have opted for the brown camo instead. There is
nothing "camo" about the coloring I received. I highly recommend
viewing this in person first before purchasing to ensure the color is
what you would expect.
The new Loon 126 Angler is the perfect sit in kayak for recreational
paddling and fishing.
I'm 6' 1", 250lbs. I have plenty of room to manuver in the roomy
cockpit.
This kayak tracks very well and is exceptionally fast for a
recreational kayak.
The waterproof work deck storage is very handy and easy to access.
Seat is very comfortable and easy to fine tune.
Plenty of room in the storage hatch area.
Overall, this is the perfect kayak for recreational paddling and
fishing lakes and rivers.
I would especially recommended this kayak if you are a big and or
tall person.
The only thing I added was some nylon pad eyes for my fishing pole
leashes.

Sorry for the confusion! The Old Town website should be the most accurate making the correct weight capacity 450lbs. We will update the spec on our website- thank you for catching this!
