another good tip is always be ready, if your lure is in the water a bass will take it. kayaks have such a low profile bass will strike the lure all the way up to the yak. this has happens to me at least once every time i go out, but nothing this big... YET.

IMO you get what you pay for when it comes to yaks. The rotomolded yaks will last longer than the cheaper plastic ones. However, I guess if you stick to open water the material doesn't matter as much. Fishing kayaks have come a long way in the last 5 years. The selection has grown exponentially! If you are in the market the best thing to do is go see them in person and paddle them around.
I've got a Jackson Cuda 12 and have been really happy with it. They are not light weight but that is due in part to the thickness of the plastic in the rotomolding process. It's made it down the Devils River a couple of times now. Given the battle scars from those 2 trips I can see a cheaper kayak getting destroyed quick.
My group does overnight trips so storage and access to that storage is essential. Four day, three night trips and the only thing that sits ontop of my kayak is my fishing gear and a cooler. Everything else is kept inside.
Got her wet last weekend...
