Torqeedo Jackson YuPIK Fishing Kayak - YPK121STORM_25
2025 Jackson YuPIK
Named for the native Alaskan peoples that coined the word “kayak” (qayaq), the Jackson YuPIK changes the very definition of versatility. Now includes our EZ HiLo Seat Slider System. Bow To Stern track systems, rigging solutions, and storage pockets molded in along the entirety of the boat allow the modularity for you to rig for your adventure without limitation.
Customize your fun with more room! Additions like the fully trimmable seat pan, and our Strap Down Gear Track for 360 storage security make the YuPIK the most versatile kayak on the market. Be sure to check out our Hawg Trough Fishing Accessory Tray for even more options on the water!
Features
- Bow and stern handles are molded in for comfort and ease of transport. These handles also serve as a great way to lock down your kayak in your car, truck, or trailer to prevent theft.
- Tuck your paddle blade under this Hypalon keeper to get it out of the way but still in arm’s reach – snag-free for your treble hooks.
- Scooped bow allows easier storage of soft goods such as tents, dry bags, decoy bags, etc. Works in concert with our Strap Down gear track system to help optimize the storage of unwieldy items. Dimensions: 27″ x 20″.
- First, of its kind, our innovative Strap Down gear track system helps you load your boat down just the way you’d like. Use cam straps, rope, or bungee to secure your gear by looping between the track and gunnel to get outfitted for every adventure.
- This truly universal rod staging solution from YakAttack works flawlessly with spinning, casting, larger conventional reels, and yes – even fly rods of all sizes. Multiple modes allow anglers to easily stage rods for quick access or lock them in for maximum security.
- Full standing pad for comfort and additional quiet while sight fishing and casting.
- Our unique Stern to Bow track system utilizes three single-piece tracks along the cockpit rim and floor. This allows for complete customization and trimming as needed to accommodate a heavy load.
- Four spots along the sidewall of the YuPIK keep tackle boxes (3640 Plano) close at hand yet out of the way.
- Introducing our EZ HiLo Seat System! These seat sliders allow you to trim your seat both fore and aft while also allowing you to easily move the seat from the low to the high position with a single hand.
- Need to change lures quickly and don’t have time to put them back in their boxes? Use our handy seatside tackle stager to embed those hooks and keep them from rolling loose in your boat when you’re in a hurry.
- The large rear tank well measures 19.25″ x 14.75″ and can accommodate an Orion 25 quart cooler.
- The padded battery staging area makes keeping your ride powered up a breeze. Dimensions: 9 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- Designed with standability in mind, the open deck and stability are as roomy as some of our most stable boats. Great platform for beginners while still pleasing advanced anglers.
- Handy attachment points for securing your battery to the deck of your YuPIK.
- Four easy molded-in screw points are ready for easy installation of the PowerPole Micro Anchor or Torqeedo systems.
- Our replaceable skid plate saves the hull of your kayak from those gnarly pavement scrapes.
- Want to keep your phone close at hand? We’ve got a spot for that.
