Thanks Chris for answering as I wouldn't have been much help other than the name so far.

I believe Perception made them under that name.

Heres another pic of the kayak.

Thanks Fellows. I bought the F&S Talon 12' and still trying to set it up so I'm gleaning all the info I can.

I also own the Talon 12...not a bad boat. I added flush-mount rod holders to facilitate trolling and added a lowrance mark 5x pro depthfinder. My only complaint is that the stern well will not fit a milk crate. I bought a file crate and it works fine, but I wish the stern well had been a bit larger. The anchor trolley that comes with the kayak is WAY too small. The one I added to Travis' yak runs from bow to stern. Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any rigging questions.

Well had it about a month and a half or so.

Thought I'd give an update on what little bit I've managed to do to it.

Started to add a little to make it fish ready:

Then it...kind of blew up







I can carry 8 rods plus one fly rod and also added the HB depthfinder in the front.

Also swapped all the shock chord for orange, added some new signage on the side, used remainder of shock chord for a paddle leash, added 2 Zooka tubes, 1 Ram fly rod holder and added pad eyes on the crate well with shock chord for a crate restraint on the kayak.

Some people keep big books on their coffee tables as conversation pieces, others put a boat in their living room.

Very nice rig there, with all the goodies. Looks like a Swiss Army knife made for the water.

Best part is everything is either on the crate or on a track. With a snap of a carabiner or twist of a Ram ball all can be taken off to where the boat has nothing on it except for the depthfinder.

That way I can take the kitchen sink or just a trout mag rod in the molded in rod holders and have an easy day.

Also, I have the square Mighty Mounts which are the black square under the rear Zooka Tube rod holders on my bass boat as well. So all the RAM stuff will transfer over. I can use the fly rod holder and/or Zooka tubes on it as well.

Nice looking setup Travis.

I've got to stop reading all these Yak posts!

Nice looking rig there Travis, you got it all pimped up now!!, nice fish btw, and I'm a man with big pants but if I bring my yak in the house I think I would be in the neighbors dog house for a while!!
