Once we hit open water, I was able to give the Outback a go and see what kind of speed I could get. With a few quick pedals, I was up to full speed and cruising through the water. Another thing I noticed, which I really liked compared to other pedal-drives, is the fins on the Mirage drive allow you to cut through the water better when you stop pedaling.
On propellor driven drives, once you stop pedaling, the prop now creates drag in the water, bringing you to a stop more quickly. The fins on the Mirage drive allowed the boat to coast to a stop or allow me to begin pedaling again to pick my speed back up. This was a great advantage over the propellor driven systems. In the past, I have always struggled trying to fish and steer my boat at the same time.
This was a breeze on the Hobie, because I was able to keep moving while using the rudder control to steer without having to put my rod down.
We'll explain these specs and features below. Rotomolded kayak hulls are made by pouring plastic powder into a mold, heating it and rotating the mold to form a solid, single piece hull. The plastic is supple and can withstand the abuse of banging into rocks and being dragged across surfaces. Thermoformed kayak hulls are made by heating separate sheets of plastic for the top and bottom of the hull by drawing a heated sheet of plastic over a mold with a vacuum and cooling.
The two piece hull is then glued together. The two part construction is less durable than a single piece hull. Length and width are good indicators of how well a kayak will handle larger waves and how stable it will be.
Many anglers like to stand and sight fish. A wider, longer, more stable kayak makes this easier. On the flip side, if you'll fish narrow, bendy streams a shorter kayak will work better. Knowing how you intend to use your kayak is important. The Weight of your kayak is important to consider when you are transporting the kayak to and from the water or loading on or off your vehicle.
All electronics from Lowrance Fishfinders to Rebelcell batteries can be installed and activated for you. There is a huge range of kayaks from Hobie, here they are ordered by size and function. All the Hobie kayaks are set up for fishing but come are fishier than others. Bigger people need bigger kayaks! Take a look at the capacity of the kayaks and see which suits you best. If you are into fishing remember to take into consideration the weight of your fishing accessories and all the fish that you are bound to catch!
Also, take into consideration the type of seat offered on the kayak. For example — if you are on the bigger side, you may appreciate the ST and XT seats that are fitted on the Pro Angler, they are taller and wider. If you are on the small side a larger, wider fishing kayak like the Pro Angler 14 may just be too much of a good thing. Smaller people find smaller kayaks like the Revolution 11 or the new Passport really easy to propel and maneuver both on land and on the water.
Hull Shape — There are different hull shapes within the Hobie range that are suited to different types of activity and different kinds of water. For example, longer more slender kayaks like the revolution 16 are better suited to long-distance and open seas whereas shorter kayaks like the Revolution 11 are quicker to turn and pivot making them better suited to handle the sharp turns of a narrow river.
Stability — Hobie Kayaks are pretty stable across the range, with some offering even great stability than others. Page 1 of 5 Next. Hobie Kayaks By Price. Special Items Top Seller.
