Review on 🚣 Malone MegaWing SOT Large Fishing Kayak Wing Carrier: Efficient Transport Solution with Enhanced Stability by Troy Rotermund

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not very suitable for large SOT fishing kayaks

I have a Malone Seawing for my 65 lb SOT fishing kayak and I love them. Having bought two other kayaks that are much heavier and larger, I really missed this type of attachment on these new kayaks. Then I saw Megawing Malone, who seemed to be the answer to my prayers! NO. First, the Megwing is barely wider than the Seawing. All new, large, heavy SOT fishing kayaks are much wider than older, lighter kayaks. Even my Perception Striker 11.5 kayak (which only weighs 70 pounds and isn't exactly long at 11.5 feet) is 33 inches wide. The Megawing is only 27.5 inches wide so cannot be used with this kayak. My Field & Stream Shadow Caster is even wider. So I don't really know what the Megawing model is for. Heavier kayaks are wider, but while the Megawing can carry more weight than the Seawing, it's not actually any larger. I don't know exactly how big, heavy and wide a kayak can be used with the Megawing. I want Malone to make a wing carrier for wider kayaks. Have returned the item.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
