Pro Angler 12 Kayak with 180 Drive 2023

Dominate the water, fresh or salt, with this superior fishing kayak. All the big-boat fishing features on a 12 foot platform. 

Experience full power reverse with the one and only MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Turbo Fins. Logs, kelp? No problem. Hobie's patented Kick-Up Fins “kick back” when contact is made with under water obstacles. Keep a half-dozen rods rigged and ready in the four standard horizontal and two vertical rod holders for the ultimate kayak fishing adventure. Confidently stand and fire cast after cast. Equipped with the Guardian Transducer Shield, your transducer is protected on impact and retracts for transport, while providing side scanning for optimal fishfinder performance. Take comfort on the water to a new level with the elevated and breathable Vantage ST seat. Back, bottom and BOA® lumbar support makes it easy to stay out on the water all day. The Pro Angler 12 includes a retractable skeg for improved course-keeping, mounting boards, pivoting tackle management system, as well as the innovative 12-sided Hobie H-Rail for superior flexibility in accessory rigging. 

HOBIE GUARDIAN – RETRACTABLE TRANSDUCER SHIELD

Retractable Shield protects transducer on impact and retracts away for transport. Built-in transducer mount allows side scanning for optimal fishfinder performance. 

PIVOTING TACKLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A rectangular hatch just in front of the seat conceals a mesh storage pocket and pivoting storage for two medium-sized Flambeau™ tackle boxes (included). The storage area under the tackle boxes is also easily accessible.
