Summit Perch

The Summit Perch is designed to integrate specifically with the Summit, Hero 2.0, and Switchback seating systems found on select Vibe kayaks.

Raising your seat height provides a higher vantage point, which is critical for sight-fishing and spotting structure or fish in shallow water. It also improves your casting angle and range of motion, making it easier to manage your line and rod.
