Description

The Feelfree Lure 13.5 is a premium fishing kayak designed for serious anglers who want versatility, comfort, stability, and the ability to adapt the kayak for different propulsion methods. The “Tri-Powered Configurable” version means it’s built to accept three power modes: paddling, pedal drive (Overdrive), and motor drive / rudder systems (sold separately).

This kayak is part of Feelfree’s Lure series, and it enhances the features of smaller models (like the Lure 10 or 11.5) with more capacity, longer hull, and more gear-friendly design. It’s well suited for lake-fishing, estuaries, slower rivers, inshore coastal conditions, and other scenarios where you may need standby power or just want comfort for long days.

Major Features & Design Highlights

Here are the standout features that make the Lure 13.5 Tri-Powered Configurable Kayak a top choice:

• Tri-Powered Configurability:
  The kayak is capable of three propulsion modes:

  1. Paddle mode (traditional paddling)

  2. Pedal drive (Overdrive system) for hands-free propulsion

  3. Motor/rudder options when you need extra thrust or better tracking.

• Removable Sonar & Electronics Pod: Allows mounting a fish finder and transducer without drilling into the hull. Convenient for electronics installation and removal.

• Front Multi-Use Console: Installed just behind the bow hatch, with an insulated lid/cutting board which doubles as cooler or bait-prep station. Great for fishing work.

• Adjustable Gravity Seat (High Back): Multi-height, adjustable, removable. Offers comfort for sitting long hours, and can be lowered flush with deck for increased stability or more efficient paddling.

• Standing Platform & Stability: Wide hull (34-36″ depending on version) with reinforced standing areas. You can stand and cast or paddle in standing position with more confidence. Great for anglers who like to sight fish or fish from standing.

• Wheel in the Keel: A molded wheel in the keel for easier portaging (moving the kayak on firm ground) without needing separate kayak cart.

• Accessory Rails (Uni-Track): Front and rear rails for mounting gear, camera mounts, fish finder, etc. Ample mounting options.

• Rod Holders, Paddle Holders, Leashes, Storage: Multiple rod holders with leashes, paddle parks, rear bungee storage, side pockets, crate recess, scupper plugs.

• Overdrive / Motordrive / Rudder Ready: The hull is pre-configured so you can add Overdrive pedal unit, motor drive, or rudder system later. Doesn’t always come with these, sold as optional.

Strengths

• Excellent capacity (gear + person + accessories) — 500 lbs is very generous. Active Water Sports+1

• Very stable platform — wide hull, well designed standing platform. Good for standing casting.

• Versatility — being able to paddle, pedal, or use a motor makes it great for different water types / conditions.

• Convenience features — things like the sonar pod, built-in console with cutting board, and wheel in the keel make life easier.

• Comfort for long sessions — good seating, adjustable foot rests, etc.

Conclusion

The Feelfree Lure 13.5 — Tri-Powered Configurable Kayak is an excellent choice if you want a stable, feature-rich fishing machine that adapts to your needs. Its strengths are its capacity, comfort, flexibility of propulsion, and many built-in conveniences. It’s less ideal if you’re after speed, ultra-light transport, or minimal gear — you’ll be paying the weight and drag for that stability and versatility.
