STEALTH FISHA 555 – FISHING KAYAK

The Stealth Fisha 555 is the newest Stealth Kayaks fishing ski on the market, it is made with stability in mind but is still fast due to its length. The 555 is suited for a heavier paddler looking for stability. The 555 is the widest kayak in the Stealth range which allows for more fish in your hatch! The 555 is also a long fishing ski and therefore is also the fastest Fisha model in our range.

STANDARD FEATURES:

1. Moulded carry handles.
2. 2 Drainage holes – One for the fish hatch and one for the kayaks hull, these bungs are a simple screw in type and easy to open and close.
3. Paddle rubber and elastic – A protective mat is in place to prevent the slipping around of your paddle when secured under the paddle elastic. The paddle elastic is shock cord with a clear tubing around it to keep your paddle secure on the mat.
4. Fiberglass fish hatch lid – Providing easy access to a large central fish hatch. There is a protective pad on the hatch lid, which can be used for cutting your kit or as a simple work area.
5. Central fish hatch – This is a very large central storage area used for stowing your rods and reels when launching and beaching in rough waters and offers storage for bigger fish. The hatch has a built in rod shoot which curves upwards to that when your rods are stored they can be kept above the fish and anything else you have in the hatch.
6. Shock cord rod rack system – Easy to use stretchy shock cord system allows you to place the butt of your rod under it to keep the rods and and out the way of anything inside the hatch.
7. Live bait well – A new addition to the Stealth Kayaks. There is an inlet and outlet in the bait well which allows fresh water to enter and old water to exit from the bottom of the kayak, while you are paddling. This continuous flow of water keeps the oxygen supply fresh and your bait will stay alive for a longer period of time.
8. Splash cover – Used to secure your hatch lid to the kayak but also acts to prevent waves forcing water under the lid when launching through the surf.
9. Hatch lever locks – Superior lever lock cam straps allow you to apply maximum pressure to your fish hatch lid when securing it closed. The fold over cam creates extra pressure to make sure the least amount of water gets into the hatch if you accidentally roll over in your kayak.
10. Front drag/carry handle – A carefully positioned soft moulded handle for easy dragging or holding of your kayak when launching.
11. Completely adjustable rudder and pedal system– The adjustable pedal system is connected to a rudder with a rail system that can be easily adjusted to make sure you have maximum comfort when sitting in the kayak. Correctly positioned pedals can make a huge difference in the comfort of your kayak. The pedal system makes the kayak easy to steer using the under stern rudder. The  rope clamps on the pedals also allow you  to set your pedals at the desired angle to keep them comfortable.
12. Self drainer holes – Factory installed drain holes in your foot wells allow easy release of the water that collects in and around your feet. There are neat covers with a small hole that complete the ability of the foot wells to drain while paddling and moving forward.

The careful position and angle makes it simple to access and use while you paddle and manage your lines and bait.
