Sweetwater 126 Angler Rudder Ready

With a twin-channel hull focused on maximizing stability in a seated, paddling or sight-casting position, the Sweetwater 126 delivers the performance, confidence and comfort necessary for a long day on the water. It also boasts a pronounced keel for excellent tracking and an upswept bow for lift over swell and chop. A high-low 1st Class Frame Seat provides a comfortable, breathable spot to paddle or cast, and the seat can easily be removed to lighten the craft for transport. Fully-featured from bow to stern, the Sweetwater 126 sports a 10" bow hinge-hatch, padded side-handle Groove Tracks, two 5-inch day hatches (stern and midship), a taco paddle holder, two inset rod holders, and large stern well with bungee. And, NEW for 2023, we've redesigned the cockpit console to take our popular gasketed H-Pod, 4-inch gear track and new padded Fly Cove. This kayak is a lightweight fishing machine that will appeal to fly fisherman and larger paddlers looking for a stable sit-on-top.

The Sweetwater 126 is a performance driven kayak that provides the confidence and comfort needed for long days on the water.

The Frame Seat can also be removed to lighten your vessel during transport. One of the lightest kayaks in its class, the Sweetwater 126 also features a 10-inch bow hinge-hatch, groove tracks with side handles and a 5.5-inch day hatch located behind the seat.
