Flats fisherman Jimbo Meador wanted a special ride, one purpose-built to stalk redfish in no man’s land. “I couldn’t get there in a flats boat, and couldn’t wade from shore without sinking up my armpits in mud,” Meador says. That led him to Andy Zimmerman and the paddlesports veteran’s new Greensboro, North
Carolina, company Native Watercraft, and earned Meador one of the coolest job titles going: Vice President of Kayak Fishing. Meador says all of Native’s characteristic tunnel hull kayaks are designed with fishing in mind.
The engineering and ergonomics are exceptional, highlighted by some of the most comfortable, multi-position seats around. Plug and Play and Adapt-a-Trak accessory outfitting systems enable anglers to easily customize the boats to fit personal tastes. For 2009, Native introduced another pair of transformative innovations. The Native Ultimate
Propel is a pedal-drive with a difference; the prop works in forward and reverse. The Volt incorporates a center-mounted trolling motor; for a powered kayak, maneuverability is unmatched.—Paul Lebowitz
