The title of this article makes a bold claim. There are tons of great fishing kayaks on the market from NuCanoe, Jackson, Old Town, and Native Watercraft – plus plenty of other great options from Hobie.
So why the Hobie Angler Pro 14? Here are some of the top reasons broken down.
● A powerful pedal-drive system: The Hobie Angler Pro 14 is equipped with the MirageDrive that offers full power in both forward and reverse, and which can be easily controlled via one of two shift cables. It is effective, fast, powerful, and silent.
● A protected pedal drive system: Pedal drive systems can be fast and efficient for kayak anglers, but the catch is they usually aren’t that great in shallow or obstructed water. That’s not the case for the MD 180, which comes with kick-up fins that automatically retract on impact with a submerged obstacle, protecting the drive system.
● Next-level comfort: The Angler Pro 14 is equipped with Vantage ST Seating with back, bottom, and BOA=set lumbar support, keeping you comfortable even during long days on the water. The whole thing is lightweight and also removable for easy cleaning and transport.
● Expandability via the Hobie Angler Pro 14’s H-rails: There are a wide range of Hobie fishing accessories out there, and the Angler Pro 14 is ready to incorporate them into its design thanks to its advanced H-rail systems that makes expanding a snap.
● No more worrying about rocking the proverbial (or literal) boat: One thing we can say about the Angler Pro 14 is that this thing is stable. It’s even outfitted with non-slip deck pads to give you extra stability and confidence in wet weather or choppy conditions. Stand, sight fish, fly cast, and fight fish in confidence from this Hobie fishing kayak.
● Professional tackle management: The Angler Pro 14 has a rectangular hatch just in front of the seating system that has a pivoting tackle management system which has room for two (included) tackle trays. There’s also storage underneath them, too.
● Plenty of storage space: In addition to the pivoting tackle management system named, there are two massive, molded tie-down areas at the bow and stern, complete with Bungee cords to keep your gear safe and secure. There’s also a waterproof 8” twist and seal hatch astern, for storing valuables or other small items.
● Rod storage (and protection): Two horizontal rod racks with padded interior and rod retainers keep your rods safe and sounds during launching, landing, or transport. The racks can also be rotated and used to store paddles, a sale, or even a stakeout pole.
● Streamline launching, landing and portage: The Angler Pro 14 is equipped with durable handles at both the bow and stern, and thanks to its kick-up fins, is easy to launch and land. You can also remove the whole drive system for easy transport and maintenance.
● Mounts for a sail or bimini: Hobie takes flexibility in fishing kayaks to new heights in the Angler Pro 14, which can be expanded with a sail or bimini thanks to the incorporated mount. Need to get out of the sun or give your legs a rest, and let the wind take you where it will? In the Angler Pro 14, you can.
