Great demo of this Kayak. Best Iv'e seen. Thanks for taking the time to put together the video. I feel really good about my decision to buy this yak. Thanks again...Happy fishing.

gen16:12 - 7 years ago

This has a price of $7000 AUD! Cheaper options out there! No need to throw your money! Believe manufactures are gouging when it comes to price! You will buy this kayak only if you have money burning a hole in you pocket

does it come with anti-shark turret?

Ground Pounders Place - 7 years ago

The rear storage is obviously flawed, and not very user friendly. you struggled standing up next to it, now if I need to get in that reaching behind me out on water. seat should swivel around. I have to agree, it may be nice, but it is over priced.

Prometheus1st - 8 years ago

It's kind of ridiculous to spend $3,250.00 - $3,600.00-USD for this fishing solution for me personally. I can buy a welded 14' Jon-boat with trailer/spare tire, 15 - 20hp gas motor, tank/s trolling motor, battery/s paddles, lights, anchors, etc. in very good shape (75-80+ % new) for that price.

Ty Larimer - 8 years ago

If anyone is still in these comments lol and knows and can tell me, I am thinking about buying a hobie cat and I was wondering he said u could use it as just a like hand paddle kayak and no marage drive what would u do with the huge hole in the floor? Does it come with a like plug in cause u don't want to use it?

Soflofishing - 8 years ago

Ty Larimer yea, depending how shallow you're thinking of going. I had a push pole to push through the flats. Like I said paddling for me was always just to turn and stuff like that. Not to move much. I was able to peddle through some flats though, doing half peddles. But like I said it depends how shallow it was. You can take the mirage drive out or put them in position where the fins lay flat on the hull, so you wouldn't have to even take them out.

Ty Larimer - 8 years ago

Soflofishing thanks for replying I am really thinking about getting this exact kayak once I save enough money, I really like it I would use the mirage paddles always, but the only reason I was thinking about not using them is in like shallow water. Should I just like lay the mirage paddle between my legs and manually paddle till get in deeper water?

Soflofishing - 8 years ago

Ty Larimer the hole won't do anything. All kayaks have holes in them anyways to let the water that comes in out. With this specific kayak, it's hard to paddle anyways. So unless you're planning on getting a smaller one, paddling in this kayak is very difficult.

Fred Fable - 8 years ago

Honestly...the price is TEN times for a Kayak...too expensive.

Paris Christodoulou - 8 years ago

the price for the kayak ?

Shane Haney - 8 years ago

It's nice but I don't see $3k of kayak. I bought a seaghost 130 that has pretty much everything this one does and cost just under $1k. The biggest difference is the pedal drive and I'm not spending $2k for that.

Emil Utberg - 7 years ago

This is like a Rolls Royce of kayaks ofc its ganna be expensive

Shane Haney - 8 years ago

It is much faster though.

These things are WAAAY overpriced. For half money you can get a small bass boat with two seats and a motor.

mullz1 - 8 years ago

great review !

Jesus Saves - 8 years ago

Do you have any issues with the Hobie kayak taking on water inside the body or hull of the kayak? Every kayak I have ever owned took on water and I had to dump it out through the drain hole.

Soflofishing - 8 years ago

I've never had that issue.

Kit Laughlin - 8 years ago

Hello there. Looks like a really practical boat. Quick question: when you go to the bow (before the Mirage drive is fitted) what stops the water coming in that large hole? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I could see that hole is almost at the lowest part of the hull. TIA, KL

Kit Laughlin - 8 years ago

Got it; thanks!

Works fine as long as you're not trying to go against the tide or wind.

6:20 did he just call a pro angler LIGHT? WTF

Soflofishing - 8 years ago

Ha I guess I did. It's not too bad for me. I know it's a lot heavier than other kayaks, but I never had a problem moving this guy around. I can imagine it being more difficult to move for older folk. The wheels made everything a lot easier though.

This is the hummer h1 of fishing kayaks, how many Hummers were sold? Alot of them , even through you could of bought several Jeep Wrangler's for the Hummer's $150000 price tag in 1995

Will Russell - 7 years ago

Bill Tracy I used to have a bass boat but sold it for a pro-angler. Does that mean I'm not a serious fisherman, no! I have currently collected what is approaching $100k in prize money from fishing tournaments! I primarily sold my bass boat because when my kids came along I didn't have time for the tournaments anymore and the boat was taking up too much space in my garage. I thought a kayak would get the job done effectively and would keep me fishing, and I couldn't be happier and I personally wish I had sold my boat way earlier! This kayak is so versatile I can take it anywhere, I take it down rivers (accidentally got into some pretty major rapids one time, but it handled it surprisingly well) large lakes, and even saltwater fishing, and it handles all of it like a dream, I've even learned how to surf it (a painful process in a 123 lb. boat). And I still enter and win many tournaments, and even though they're not as big I still enjoy them. And my kids love riding on it with me and we often float down narrow creeks and mangrove tunnels, places a boat wouldn't be able to get, in order to find a place to go camping. All in all I'm happy with my decision, I was taken aback by the price at first, but I think it was definitely worth the price. But, to each his own, go with whatever best suits your needs. Tight lines!

James Spann - 7 years ago

But by the time you get your boat license, gas permits and yada yada yada 3k is well worth it..plus it helps keep ya in shape...

billder999 - 7 years ago

Whatever

Bill Tracy - 7 years ago

Even if I was a billionaire I would still feel like I'm being ripped off buying one of these. It's like paying $500 for a hammer. Just because I could afford it doesn't make it any smarter. Also, anyone really serious about fishing uses an actual boat.

billder999 - 7 years ago

Each to his own, right? To some people $3,000 is nothing (I'm not included in that group). PS: Go get in one of these things and "peddle" it for a good long ride, and tell me the functionality is not astounding. I've logged a good bit of time in a Hobie Mirage (a doctor friend has 2 of them), and there is no comparison to the experience. Don't knock what you know nothing about.

Bill Tracy - 7 years ago

Worth no where near $3000. That's insanity at it's best, lol It may as well cost $100,000 in my opinion. You can put a foot controlled trolling motor on a kayak for less than half the price.

billder999 - 7 years ago

Donald: Are you just kayaking, or do you want to fish? The Hobie kayaks are the best fishing kayaks on the planet, and for a number of reasons. The big thing is the Mirage drive... it's a Hobie patent, no one else is allowed to make them. Everything is high quality, but the fishing advantage is obviously that you can propel forward or back HANDS FREE, allowing you to focus on fishing and not on propulsion... your legs are the largest muscle group on your body and the recumbent position is super efficient... in other words, you can go FAST for very long distances. Expensive? Yes, but this is not just another kayak with a gimmick... this is pure engineering brilliance, and worth the investment if you are serious about fishing.

Bill Tracy - 8 years ago

You could get one of those small bass boats with two swivel seats and a motor for half of what they're asking for one of these.

Donald Keyes - 8 years ago

yeah i bought a 700$ pell already

How do you keep from damaging or dragging your transducer when porting/putting in/taking out?

Soflofishing - 9 years ago

There is a cover over the transducer that protects it. It doesn't interfere with the fish finder.

seanfishingtexas - 9 years ago

I want it ,just wish they would make more affordable.Thats why people are choosing the Native Propel over the Hobie.

It's just like a car, you get what you pay for. Difference between getting a Toyota vs a Lexus. They will get you to the same place, just one has more bells and whistles than the other.

Teejay Bosch - 9 years ago

Can you use that kayak in salt water of shore! I don't know anything about kayaks I know about boats and fishing seems like you know a lot just looking for a little advice? I don't know how much yours was but I'm looking for something sturdy at a kind of cheap budget with Mirage Drive! Any idea I would really appreciate it also I love the video you made it tells a lot about the whole kayak! If you can help me thank you anyway and best of luck!

Soflofishing - 9 years ago

If you're on a budget I would find one of the less expensive hobie models. I would say most of their kayaks are very stable, but the pro angler is much stable than most of the other ones.

Jacqueline Hyde - 9 years ago

I need this in my life!

Michael Brown - 9 years ago

Mike L - I had my life jacket on, but when I fell in the water it inflated. So, I had to deflate it to get back in the boat. I would never go out without a life jacket.

quest 34470 - 9 years ago

thanks

R. Michael Brown - 9 years ago

Ok - I am 63 and have used my 12' for or five times- I was out in a cove fishing and I put a rod in the back holder, then leaned over to get two more rods out and turned over. 1. I lost three rods- be very careful to keep rods not in your hand locked down. 2. I had opened the front hatch and did not latch it back down. So when I turned over, a lot of water got in the boat- be sure to lock down the hatch 3. My life jacket auto inflated, so I had to deflate it to get back in the boat. 4. Now I am across the lake, no real life jacket,with a lot of water in the boat ( making it unstable) . I had for the first time shortened my paddle to a half-paddle so my only real propulsion was the peddles. 5. As I started back across the lake, the wind came up so I was peddling with a strong side wind, the water in the boat made it unstable, and I turned over again. I was tired from recovering from the first turn over, so it was imposable for me to get back in the boat. I waved down a fellow fisherman and asked him to tow me in. It all worked out, but just be sure to be prepared to turn over at ANY time. This could have been a disaster, but I took my time and did not panic. Love the boat, but I have a healthy respect of what could happen. Maybe this will help some of you from making the same mistakes.

Jonathan Cantu - 7 years ago

R. Michael Brown do you still use it and if you don't would you sell it? I have been wanting to buy a kayak for fishing but don't have the best budget

+Jo Ann Gabriele dude the r the cheapest and easiest thing to make yourself :) I have them on mine, and I made the,

John Malone - 9 years ago

+Mike L I lost a friend I the 1980's who didn't use a lifejacket, so I totally agree. You should go out fully equipped as kitted or not at all.

Jo Ann Gabriele - 9 years ago

+R. Michael Brown Thank you for your review. I am now convinced to purchase the side stabilizers, They run around $175-$200 and well worth it! I wear a $6,000 insulin pump. I would place it in a water proof container, but need to access it about once per hour. I am too old and weak to deal with turning over. I don't care what it looks like. I want to get out on the lake on my own without having to wait for someone else to want to go. This will give me the independence I need and help me build strength and stamina. I'm currently in year two of my cancer survivorship. Happy boating!

Mike L - 9 years ago

+R. Michael Brown Your life jacket does no good in a storage hatch. Had you been wearing it you wouldn't have had the inflation problems. I spent 4 years in Marine Law Enforcement and was certified in water rescue. I have heard all the excuses about life jackets being for sissies or that people are good swimmers, etc. Well I have pulled more drowning victims out of the water than I care to. Most people underestimate their abilities in the water especially when you factor in stress and water temperature. I don't mean to lecture but take it from me, do yourself and your family a favor and wear your life jackets. They do save lives. Drowning is very preventable.

Tatersalad19 Cars - 9 years ago

Danfuerth Gillis - 9 years ago

One of the most akward ways to paddle I have ever seen when I tested it at the sports store I asked the guy there why didnt they used a circular motion to pedal? And Shallow water will kill the flaps on the sand and rocks of you forget to put them up.
Your legs will hurt like hell after using this thing for a half hour and not even continuous. This system is great but they need to redesign the pedaling system as the non circulation way of peddaling is very akward to pedal and my idea for my inflatable kayak was my own home made system of a hand pedaller that has handles that sit on a circular track with bearings , these handles are attached to external paddles that go on each side of the kayak, thus allows me to turn while paddling with my arms nonstop and the rudder is foot controlled with a rod running on the kayak with a cable. You have to think of this as simple as possible. My idea is a small setup that collapses into a small bag which you take unto the kayak an deploy on the water all you do is open it and set it on the kayak and then extend the hinged flaps that go on the sides of the kayak . I got this idea from Tom Sawyer and the Mississippi Paddle steamer, a little different though. The best way to paddle is like it has been for thousands of years TO THE SIDES, just like all fish and all sea animals swim. Like I said the paddle system for me is easier, it sits on top of the water so does not break or get damaged underneath. Total cost of my simple system was $50 for parts and some old bike parts.

sakimano - 9 years ago

+Danfuerth Gillis you must be slightly retarded if you couldn't figure out how to use Mirage drive effectively. It is WAY better than circular pedaling, because you're just constantly pushing with Mirage, which is where you're powerful. Rotation only exists on bicycles because it's aligned with a the gear driven wheels. If you want to compare, google propel vs. Mirage. Propel is from Native, and is their 'circular' drive system like you're advocating. It gets crushed by Mirage every time.
You also have to be slightly retarded if you go jamming into shore with your Mirage fins still down. That's like saying cars are no good because if you forget to brake when parking you will slam into stuff.

bbcasting - 10 years ago

Why did you want something bigger though? Different kayak or an actual boat?

Pro Angler 14?

sakimano - 9 years ago

+bbcasting If by shallow you mean 1 F.O.W. or less, the mirage drive will be useless, but don't forget you can move them till they're almost flat tucked up to the bottom of the boat,. From there you can barely move the pedals to keep them fluttering but away from the bottom. Worst case, you always have a paddle on board as well so if it's that bad, you can pull it out.

But if it's 2 or 3 feet deep, you're good to go.

bbcasting - 9 years ago

+Soflofishing Damn. I just checked out that Gheenoe Classic...nice. You're set now.

I'm between a Pro Angler 12 and a KC K12. I need maximum storage space and will be fishing/crabbing in some shallow tidal saltwater bays. Would you avoid the Pro Angler b/c the mirage drive in the shallows? I also like the deck space in the K12 for crab traps, baskets, coolers, etc. It's almost like a mini boat that you have to paddle.

Then again, when you take off flying at 6:58 in the Pro Angler...and hands free fishing. Anyway, let me know what you think since you owned a Pro Angler.

Soflofishing - 10 years ago

I upgraded to a gheenoe classic with a 25hp motor.

zack salem - 10 years ago
