Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10 LTE - Everything You Need to Know

Just when you thought the Native Watercraft Slayer Propel lineup couldn't get any better, in comes the Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10 LTE. The Slayer 10 LTE is the latest evolution of the previous Slayer Propel 10 fishing kayak. However, the LTE is hardly a shadow of the previous generation as the LTE is now the ultimate "grab and go" pedal-driven fishing kayak. Combining a lightweight and portable design on a platform that allows you to incorporate the latest cutting-edge technology and accessories, the Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10 LTE provides the best value and access for a fishing kayak!

Lightweight

The Slayer Propel 10 LTE is built around the concept of lightweight convenience. The 10' kayak weighs just 85 lbs fully rigged, which allows you to maneuver this vessel easily whether you're transporting on top of your vehicle or in the back of a truck. With carry handles located at the bow, stern, and each side of the kayak, there is a plethora of options available for anglers to move this kayak safely.

Layout

For some, creating a lightweight and portable kayak comes at the cost of the functionality and the overall layout of the kayak, but not the Native Watercraft LTE. The LTE offers the layout to accommodate the modern angler and ensures a smooth, dry ride on the water. Starting with the hull, featuring a narrow entry point, this design displaces more water, allowing the boat to glide through waves; as the water works its way back along the tapered design, this reduces noise and splashing. The LTE provides maximum stability for a 10' kayak as the hull has been drawn out to increase floatation along the kayak's sides, ensuring an easy opportunity to stand and fish.

The overall design of the kayak gives anglers all the essentials you want in a fishing kayak. From the large spacious bow hatch, groove tracks all along the perimeter of the kayak, and spacious tankwell that can accept a 16x16 YakAttack BlackPak Pro, even forward rod holders on both sides of the kayak that allow you to re-tie or unhook fish by keeping your rod upright and by your side. The LTE enables the angler to stay organized and efficient on the water.

Performance

A Native Watercraft Kayak is incomplete without utilizing its most significant feature, the 701 Series Propel Pedal Drive. Providing hands-free operation and effortless forward and reverse movement, the Propel Pedal Drive is the heart and soul of the LTE. For a kayak of this size, you can expect to experience the ultimate power and control of the Propel Pedal Drive.

Now standard with all Slayer Propel LTE kayaks is the Springblade Rudder System. Previously an add-on for many Native Watercraft kayaks, the Springblade Rudder deploys to enhance your tracking and control with a sleek, low-profile design that doesn't interfere with your balance. This design will withstand the wear and tear of the hardcore angler. Along with the cutting-edge design of the LTE, the Springbalde Rudder will offer enhanced tracking and effortless tuning, giving you complete control of the water.

Features

What separates the LTE from other kayaks is not just its lightweight design but its ability to accommodate today's latest technology. Utilizing today's advancements in electronics and motors helps you advance beyond your competition of the water. And the LTE enables you to get there with easy rigging and utilization of this technology.

Molded into the stern of the LTE is an elevated plate that allows you to mount a motor or your Power-Pole Micro Anchor. From there, the cables can be run through the Powerlink Plate that is located below the tankwell. This Powerlink Plate provides easy access for running wires, eliminating any need to drill unnecessary holes in your boat. The LTE is ready to accept the Wizard Foot Steering Controls with two screws located along each side wall of the cockpit.

Adding one or even two fishfinders to the LTE is easier than ever for a kayak of this size. The LTE is ready to accept the YakAttack LockNLoad Mounting Base, allowing you to add the Captain's Bridge Fishfinder Mount. From there, wires can be easily run to a battery located in the bow hatch for a clean installation. The transducer will seat neatly and safely in the transducer pocket along the hull. This pocket allows wires to easily be run through the kayak and back into the bow hatch.

Conclusion

The Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 10 LTE Fishing Kayak is the leader in lightweight fishing kayaks. The LTE has a lot to love, from its compact, portable design to its feature-rich layout and eye-catching colors. It provides endless opportunities for anglers at an excellent price point. Whether you're a beginner looking at your first fishing kayak or a seasoned angler looking for a compact vessel, the LTE has you covered!
