Hobie Kayaks Pro Angler is probably one of the greatest kayaks produced, if not the best to date. This is considered more of a boat, including full blown rod storage, a livewell, bait tank, and even allowing you to stand and cast. If you are in the market for a high end fishing kayak, the Pro Angler may be exactly what you are looking for. Before you drop down your hard earned dough, though, you are going to want to know, first, that these boats start around $2,000 and go up in price, as you increase the options that are installed.
Hobie has included their beautiful, innovative hands free system, which allows you to use your leg power to propel the boat, rather than having to pedal. Even in the shallowest of water, this boat allows you to move forward and backward, without having to pick up your paddle, and fuss with the current. By being able to easily move in and out of areas, you are going to have a much easier time getting your lure into the spots that you want to, without having to battle against currents, wind, and other obstacles that can easily interfere with your best fishing days.
Hobie didn’t stop there with the Pro Angler though. With full length rod storage, you are able to stow your rods below the deck, and still have easy access to them. This is perfect for fly anglers who have issues with line getting caught on rods hanging out. With a full livewell, you are also able to save any fish that you catch, to take back for the table, or the taxidermist. Hobie Kayaks even went as far as throwing in a Torqeedo electric trolling motor package, to help with added propulsion on days when you don’t even want to paddle to get around.
