Hobie Outback


The Hobie Outback has long been respected as a super-stable kayak that has become extremely popular with kayak fishing paddlers. It is well known being a great platform as it instills in the user a great feeling of confidence that you are using a very safe kayak. With a high carrying capacity and bags of storage space, the Outback is perfectly adapted for kayak fishing and comes with a whole host of featues already included to make you a more effective angler.

 

Using the Miragedrive, you are far more in control of how you fish and how quickly you can recover your catch. You never have to worry about keeping the kayak stationary of under control using a paddle, all your concentration and energy goes into playing and landing your fish. In a normal kayak, as soon as you stop paddling to pick up your fihsing rods the wind van start to push you into the bank. Not so with an outback! You simply point the kayak into the wind and gently use the Mirage Drive to hold station. Now with the new reverse mode on the 180 Mirage Drive you don't even need to do that! Whether you are pointng up wind or down you can still keep yourself away from the banks and in full control of your fish.

 

The Mirage drive and profile of the Outback make for a near silent approach and mean that you can get closer to wildlife for watching and photography, or stealthily approach that secluded fishing spot. When using the 180 Mirage drive on the Hobie Outback the fingertip steering control you can troll the banks or features with a rod in one hand and the other keeping you perfectly in position. If you are fishing on the fly, the Hobie Outback is stable enough to stand on and get a better casting and recovery action under trees and hitting mark with pinpoint accuracy.

 

 The large capacity is ideal for the heavier paddler while the new Vantage Seating System allows you the most comfortable ride possible with the ability to adjust both the angle of the backrest and the lumbar support. The Vantage seat is height adjustable as well allowing a higher seating position for watching wildlife or spotting fish. Tilting the front of the seat up can also allow a more ergonomic peddaling position to allow you to go further.

 

Outfitting the Hobie outback with a fishfinder is a simple affair and all the new Mirage Drive kayaks are Lowrance Fish Finder ready. This means that there is a plate under the kayak that covers a specially moulded recess into which fits your transducer without the need to drill any holes.(See the videos tab to see these features.)

 

The Mirage Outback kayak has been designed with fishing in mind featuring 4 moulded-in rod holders. There are two 8 inch twist and lock hatches and a large forward hatch that can easily take everything you need for an overnight trip. There is also a bungee-covered rear tank well and plenty of smaller storage areas on deck.

 

Perhaps the most versatile and robust of the Miragedrive family of kayaks, the Hobie Outback is ideal for the paddler who just loves being outdoors and needs a stable platform for all their activities.
