The Native Titan 10.5 offers pretty much everything that the 13.5 offers but in a smaller, lighter package. It’s small enough to throw in a truck bed, and only weighs 121 pounds fully rigged.
Its small size, compact design, and adequate storage space makes it ideal for a wide range of pursuits and disciplines. These are some of the best of them.
Largemouth Bass Fishing Lakes
Perfect for pretty much all water the bucketmouths inhabit, the Native Titan 10.5 can go where they live.
From shallow, lily-pad strewn backwater to wide open lakes over deep structure, the Titan 10.5 is fast, stable, and handles well – plus it has plenty of room for tons of gear and tackle.
River Fishing Smallmouths
More of a bronzeback guy? The Native Titan 10.5 is fast, stable, and sturdy enough to chase the smallmouths upstream.
A river fishing yak should be fast and stable enough for you to take into moving water, and the Titan 10.5 is just that.
Plus, if needed, it can be rigged with an electric trolling motor for extra power and speed.
Back Bay Striped Bass and Red Drum Fishing
Armed with the powerful Propel Pedal Drive, the Native Titan 10.5 is rigged for the salt, too. That means it’s ideal for inshore fishing, especially chasing target species like schoolie stripers or big red drum on the flats.
Though marsh water is usually relatively clear, it can move fast in a strong tide, making it difficult to control some heavy fishing kayaks with paddle power alone. Fortunately, the powerful pedal drive of this rig is there to back you up.
Night Catfishing
When it comes to night fishing for catfish, there are two things you really need: space and stability.
Though compact, the Native Titan 10.5 has a wide-open cockpit with plenty of room for tying rigs, storing bait and wrangling your catch.
As for stability, it has that base covered, too. It has non-slip deck pads, along with Native Watercraft’s Plastifoam Technology, which adds flotation, increases stiffness, and improves stability.
There might be better rigs out there for night cattin’, but if you need a yak, this is a good one.
Frog Gigging
On the same thread, if gigging is your sort of thing, the Native Titan Propel 10.5 is a solid option, especially if you don’t have a buddy.
The reason for this is that the Propel 10.5 offers silent, mostly hands-free control. With a headlamp, you can approach, noiselessly, gig in hand.
The one thing is that propeller-power is not ideal in the weed choked shallows where you’ll be liable to encounter your quarry, so you’ll have to be smart about picking your haunts.
Crabbing Marshes
The marsh creeks where crabs are thick can be surprisingly deep, with muddy bottoms that make wading impossible. Instead, a swift, light kayak like this would be much better.
Plus, kayaks can sneak up into water where other vessels, even skiffs, can’t get, and there’s plenty of room in the back of it for storing traps or a cooler for your bounty.
Scouting Coastal Water for Ducks
You can stand in it, but the Native Titan 10.5 might be just a little bit small when the season actually opens.
What it isn’t too small for is scouting. It’s light, fast, and available in cryptic colorways that will keep you hidden as you slink in and out of the reeds looking for the holes and bends where the ducks shack up.
