MANUFACTURERS of Hobie’s Mirage Outback kayak say they have accomplished the impossible; they say they have improved their popular pedal fishing kayak.
With the first major redesign of the best-selling Mirage Outback in over a decade, Hobie says this fully-loaded fishing machine is built for every conceivable fishing expedition, whether you’re prowling the ocean for monster gamefish or stalking fish in your favourite freshwater fishing hole.
The extra-wide standing deck offers an improved casting platform and convenient vantage point for sight fishing, while the Guardian Transducer Shield gives you multidimensional vision below. The new Vantage CTW seat provides extra width for room and comfort. Four moulded-in rod holders, multiple deluxe H-Track mounts, and numerous high-capacity storage compartments ensure that all your gear is at your fingertips.
Powered by the MirageDrive 180 with ARC Cranks and Turbo Fins – now standard on all Outbacks – this vessel is highly versatile, fast, quiet and nimble. Now featuring our Kick-Up Rudder system with dual steering capabilities, combating drift and navigating tight water has never been easier.
