Conclusion
The Matrix 100X from Pelican Premium is a fantastic all-around kayak. You don’t have to be an angler to enjoy it – but it sure does help! I have to say we enjoyed the heck out of our review model for the better part of the past two months. If you’re a fisherman (or woman!) who’s looking to conquer lakes and slow moving rivers in search of the the “BIG ONE” we highly recommend you consider the Matrix 100X as one of your top options. It’s highly maneuverable, loaded with storage options and down-right simple to operate.
