Hobie Kayaks Compass

Lightweight Mirage Drive Kayak for Fishing

The Hobie Mirage Compass combines the sleek bow from the Revolution series with the under-hull and back end of the super-stable Pro Angler. This has created an excellent kayak for fishing that has a great mix of speed with comfortable stability to suit fishing on coastal waters and flat-water alike.

The Compass is powered by the Mirage Drive 180 with Kick-Up Fins. Efficient forwards propulsion, with reverse at the pull of a toggle! Kick-Up fins will automatically kick up out of the way should you strike an underwater object - this greatly reduces the chance of damaging the fins should you hit something under the surface. The seat features quick-drying mesh and is adjustable allowing for a comfortable pedalling position to be achieved. The seat is optimally positioned in height for fishing whilst allowing for space beneath the seat for tackle storage.

The Mirage Compass is great for kayak fishing and comes complete with 2 flush-insert fishing rod holders. H-Track sections can be found either side of the footwell allowing for easy accessory mounting without the need to drill the kayak. The H-Track is compatible with all popular track mounts from Railblaza, Ram Mounts, Yak Attack and Scotty, allowing you to easily fit your fish finder, rod holders, camera mounts and more. Further gear can be stored beneath the mesh cover on the bow of the Compass. An 8 inch Twist and Stow hatch is fitted in front of the seat so that you can keep fishing tackle or bait within easy reach. A flat deck in front of the seat allows for standing in flat calm waters, for sight fishing and casting.

The Mirage Compass also comes fitted with the Lowrance-Ready system. This system makes fish finder installation easy, using a large transducer scupper under the kayak and a system of deck seals for waterproof cable routing. The deck seals are supplied separately, allowing for installation where suits you best. The Compass also comes with a sail mount, deep side carry handles and bow and stern toggle handles.

The Compass is one of the lightest kayaks in the Mirage Kayak range, coming in at a respectable 31kg fitted hull weight, and 39kg when loaded with the Mirage Drive, Seat and Paddle.  A great choice for general kayak fishing on the sea, lakes and estuaries.
