Hobie Kayaks Pro Angler 12

Fully loaded fishing kayak with Mirage Drive 180 system

If you want one of the very best fishing kayaks out there, the Hobie Pro Angler series is hard to beat! Loaded up with a huge amount of features to allow you to fish to your best whilst on the water and enjoy incredible comfort as you fish. The Pro Angler 12 is the smaller model in the series and makes a great choice for fishing on lakes, canals and rivers for freshwater predators. The PA12 is also great for exploring sheltered coastal waters on a nice day.

The super stable hull design allows you to load up with all your gear and is plenty stable enough for stand up fishing too. Whilst incredibly stable, the Pro Angler 12 is pretty nimble for it's size, all thanks to the efficient Mirage Drive 180 system featuring Kick Up Turbo Fins. This drive system is incredibly easy to use and offers forwards and reverse motion at full power. The Kick Up fins are great when fishing shallow waters as they will knock up should you accidentally hit the bottom or an underwater object. The helps reduce breakages! The drive features GT technology with roller bearings for smooth pedalling.

Equipped with a large drop-down rudder and skeg system for precise handling and control, with steering operation all controlled with handles beside the seat. Sit back and relax with the Vantage ST seating system, with plenty of adjustability so that you can pedal and fish without getting a bad back! Carrying all your fishing gear is no issue on this kayak - a huge bow hatch features an internal bucket for your catch, and the oversized cargo area will happily take a crate or catch bag. A rectangular twist-n-seal hatch is located in front of the seat with integrated tackle management system including 2 x tackle boxes! Further gear storage is possible in the side pockets and beneath the seat.

Adding accessories? Easy! Lengths of H-Rail run along the kayak for easy attachment of gear using Hobie's H-Rail mount range. Perfect for positioning rod holders, fish finder mounts, camera poles and more exactly where you need them. Further accessory mounting boards are fitted at the front of the footwell. Fitting a fish finder is made simple using the Guardian Retractable Transducer Shield, which allows you to install most popular fish finders including side-scanning units. The system allows you to raise and lower side-scan transducers for ultimate protection when launching and landing. A system of cable seals are pre-fitted to the kayak for easy cable routing.

Other features include horizontal rod storage, 2 x flush mounted rod holders, H-Rail stern handle, toggle bow handle, vertical accessory port, H-Rail Cup Holder and Rod Racks, EVA standing pads and more!

This is a brilliant fishing kayak for targetting pike, perch and zander on freshwaters across the UK.
