Crescent LiteTackle II Walkthrough: What's New with this Classic Paddlecraft?
Florida Sportsman Executive Editor Jeff Weakley walks us through the newest iteration of the LiteTackle series from Crescent Kayaks, the LiteTackle II. The Crescent LiteTackle II is a classic paddle kayak with excellent tracking capabilities all packaged into an affordable kayak platform perfect for multi-use adventures.
IDEAL APPLICATION: Crafted for adventure with an emphasis on paddling performance, comfort, and customization. From afternoon river fishing trips to multi-day flatwater camping missions, the LiteTackle II was designed to tackle it all. Traversing shallow waters is a strong point of paddle kayaks, and vessels like these are also appreciated by kayakers making beach launches.

Dawn, Emerald Coast, Moonrock and Moss colors available.
NOTEWORTHY FEATURES: The second generation of Crescent’s flagship model features new molded-in features like high and low seating, rod stagers, versatile storage options, and more.
