Malibu Kayaks Mini-X Malibu Kayaks Mini-X

Have used the Mini-X for three years. Excellent small fishing platform. Used in open bay and back water. Good in boat wakes and small to medium waves. Excellent hatch covers...toggle type....twist and lock. Light weight for car topping. Short length for hauling with station wagon. Very satisfied.

I purchased two of these great little boats 2 years ago and have run the wheels off of them every sense. I fish mostly small rivers and creeks here in Kansas and the Mini is the ideal boat for this. I fished for years from a canoe with my brother but now fish alone much of the time and these boats are small enough and light enough for one person to easily handle on and off the water. At 38 pounds I can carry it alone or load my gear and drag it pretty much anywhere that I can walk and believe me I have had it in some pretty harry spots. It was easy and a lot of fun to set up and I have it rigged to carry up to 5 rods. There is enough room inside for everything I need to do overnight camping trips.
The wife and kids also love them and when I am not fishing from them they like to just paddle around and sight see. I have had them out on some of the bigger lakes around here and they are pretty stable for being as small as they are but I would not say they are the best choice for big water. The only other down side is that they do not track all that well. If you are trying to get any speed out of them they will not glide straight in my experience. As long as you keep them in the environment that they were designed for they shine like a diamond. If you fish Ponds, small lakes, small rivers and creeks you should own one of these boats or heck maybe even two.
