The Fish Schtick Podcast Video Short - Hobie

This offering from Hobie is more than a kayak its a boat (dont mind Teegs bungle at the beginning).

Morgan Promnitz walks us through what makes it revolutionary, and why it won Best In Show at this years ICAST.

The Pro Angler comes loaded with features that put it in a class by itself. With a capacity of over 600 lbs., you can bring it all. Protected horizontal storage for up to six rods and two additional vertical rod holders. Space for 13 Plano® tackle boxes, three in-hull storage compartments, plus an additional large on-deck storage area for an optional livewell or cooler. You get a fully-adjustable, breathable Cool Ride seat, a work area/cutting board and replaceable mounting boards on each side to attach your fish finder, GPS, lights, or downriggers. The Pro Angler is powered by the Hobie MirageDrive™, which allows you to enjoy fishing without the noise and expense of a gas engine.

Brennan - those Hobie boats do a killer job in all kinds of aquatic terrain. If you have one of the Torquedo motors / props on it, you might get a little bit gunked up and it's also possible that you'd have to lift and clear the weeds off the pedal drive system from time to time, but for the most part, it will go anywhere you wanna go.

I fish in alot of lily pads and mossy gunk thats pretty thick...would I be able to take this kayak out in it?

[702BattleBorn]

great review. I was surprised that it would actually fit fly rods on those holders. I might have to really check one out. Thanks again.

fat lazy people don't pedal and being comfortable sounds good to me.

[NatureAndTech]

Only Americans are so fat and lazy that they design a boat with a couch.

It looks like a very versatile boat if you would need it for freshwater fishing as well. Great video!
