Improve Steering and Tracking on Your Old Town Sportsman

Better rudder response matters when you are holding a course, changing casting angles, or maneuvering a fishing kayak through changing water conditions. The Boonedox Old Town Rudder replaces the standard rudder blade on compatible Old Town Sportsman kayaks with a rigid 3/16-inch aluminum upgrade designed for quicker turns and straighter tracking.

Real-World Performance

A rudder earns its place when the kayak is moving and you need control without constantly correcting your line. The larger steering role becomes especially useful while pedaling or motoring between spots, following a shoreline, lining up a cast, or making a tighter directional change. The rigid aluminum blade is designed to translate steering input into quicker turning while helping the kayak maintain a straighter track.

Put Better Steering Response Behind Your Sportsman

If your compatible Old Town Sportsman is already part of your fishing system, this rudder gives the steering setup a purpose-built aluminum upgrade focused on maneuverability and tracking.
