For kayak anglers and especially anglers fishing kayak fishing tournaments, the equipment you select to bring has to be calculated due to the limited space and the limited weight you can have on your rig. Each decision carries a heavier weight in a kayak therefore X2Power lithium batteries are the smart choice being that it assists in weight loss and performance is never an issue.
“X2Power understands that every angler relies on their power solution to help drive them toward success. Simply put, they demand a battery that can excel and a battery brand that is angler first,” said Budiac. “It is in knowing this that we are so excited to bring X2Power to the growing sport of kayak fishing. Today’s kayak angler is different than it was even five years ago, power demands on the kayak are growing year after year and a compact but powerful battery source is absolutely a necessity.”
