The Lifetime Manta Angler: Ep. 4 - I Found a VERY Minor Flaw... For Some Of Us

In this video, we get the new Lifetime Manta Angler ( model 91302, model 91350 ) onto the North Branch Potomac River for some swift water testing of this fishing kayak. The kayak did wonderfully on the swifter water that we were able to hit. But unfortunately, our trip was cut short when a couple of mistakes were made. I did, however, find a minor flaw that really only applies to those that plan to take this kayak into swifter skinny water. I tell the story of what happened and make a modification that eliminates the flaw, and actually makes the kayak even better than it already is.

Parts list to come!


At only 10ft in length, this kayak is actually a bit of a monster, with a 38" beam and a weight of 79.9lbs. It is a Tractor Supply (model 91302) exclusive in this variation, but Walmart is also marketing another variation (model 91350) that is available for shipping. It is not currently available directly through Lifetime. In the fourth episode of this series, we add a couple more components to improve the already awesome Manta.

In the next episode, with a likely release of Sunday, Aug 4, 2024, we will better cover swift-water performance and figure out what else the kayak might need to become a daily driver.
