I’ve always been a big fan of the classic fire tiger color pattern. There’s just something about that gradient of green, chartreuse and orange with black overlaid stripes, that is both incredibly attention-getting and very visually pleasing.
I’m also a long time fan of Old Town kayaks. Every model I’ve tried strikes me as well-built, stable and easy to fish from. Specifically, the Sportsman AutoPilot models, which won the Best of Show Award at ICAST 2020, are a kayak bass angler’s dream come true. Available in both 13’6” and 12’0” models, these kayaks integrate a Minn Kota motor with Spot-Lock technology, motoring you to your fishing spot faster, and effortlessly holding your position over fish.
And now, Old Town has combined a couple of my favorite things with the release of a limited edition, fire tiger option for both models of the Sportsman AutoPilot.
“Fewer fishing colors are as universally cherished as fire tiger,” says Ryan Lilly, Johnson Outdoors Watercraft Brand Evangelist. “This limited edition Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot Fire Tiger is a celebration of our angling heritage, showcasing the vibrant chartreuse and orange hues synonymous with the mainstay lure color in every angler’s arsenal.”
The Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot remains the pinnacle watercraft for hands-free fishing. Anglers can command this high-tech kayak using the i-Pilot remote with just the touch of a thumb. And the AutoPilot is loaded with tournament-ready features, like a thru-hull wiring kit, catch tray channels, shallow water anchor mount, flush mount rod holders, and XL rudder designed for improved boat control in forward or reverse. And remember, Old Town boats are manufactured in the USA.
And it just occurred to me, for those online fishing influencers and everybody else reaching for that status, think of how sweet and attention-getting this boat is going to look in your Instagram pics and TikTok videos. U R so,!
And as long as I’m heading down that road, let me tell you fire tiger fans about some sweet fire tiger accessories from FishingForwardOutfitters.com. They have phone cases, stainless steel tumblers, flip flops, performance shirts, jogging pants and even fire tiger women’s, performance, high-waisted yoga leggings.
