Jackson Kayak Bite Rec 2026

Built on the same trusted hull as our Bite Angler and meeting Jackson's renowned standards for paddling and stability, the Jackson Bite is a budget-friendly kayak that maintains excellence in hull quality, performance, gear organization, and comfort.

NEW FOR 2026: Every model in our 2026 recreational lineup now comes equipped with the Jackson Kayak Comfort Seat 5.0. Designed with a deeper ergonomic base for better posture and lower center of gravity, the 5.0 delivers improved support, increased comfort, and a more connected feel on the water. It’s the most advanced version of our iconic seat system, now standard across the board.

Features:

• New for 2026, we've upgraded the seat to the Comfort Seat 5.0, elevating your vantage point on the water
• Open-concept deck gives the angler one of our roomiest platforms
• Ample storage fore and aft, paired with bungee tie-down system
• Four recessed areas on either side for quick, easy, and secure storage
• Comfort seat attains an exceptional level of breathability, comfort, and drainage that is not traditionally seen on kayaks at this price point

Suggested Application:

The Bite is well-suited for a wide range of water environments, from small lakes and rivers to ponds, streams, and inshore saltwater paddling.
