Hobie Kayaks Pro Angler 14 - 360 XR
Super Stable Fishing Kayak with Mirage Drive 360
The Pro Angler 14 just got a whole lot better with the inclusion of the new Hobie Mirage Drive 360! Control the kayak with fine precision with the ability to point the fins in any direction - complete 360 control! The controls are located with the rudder steering handle and between the two you can really move this kayak into the tightest of spaces and navigate the smallest of waterways and features - perfect for the lake and creek. The 360 drive comes fitted with Kick Up Turbo fins for worry-free pedalling - should you strike an object with the fins they simply kick up out of harms way to help reduce the risk of damage. This really is the ultimate flat water fishing kayak and is now a common sight at the big UK freshwater competitions, as being the fishing kayak of choice for many top anglers.
The Pro Angler 14 360 XR comes loaded with an impressive list of features which make fishing comfortable and easier. The grippy deck pad and super stability allows for stand-up casting and fishing on calmer waters. Replaceable mounting boards can be found either side of the cockpit to allow easy mounting of fish finders, GPS units, down riggers and more. These feature H-Track for easy mounting of track accessories, along with gear/tool hanging points. The fully adjustable Vantage ST seat provides plenty of comfort for long days out, and includes Boa® System Lumbar Support. H-Rails feature either side of the cockpit and double up as a grab rail and an accessory mounting system. The PA14 even comes supplied with a H-Rail Cup Holder and 2 H-Rail Rod Racks! Further H-Rail accessories can easily be added.
The Pro Angler 14 360 XR has stacks of storage space and carrying capacity. There is horizontal storage for up to six rods and two additional vertical rod holders. The extra large front hatch comes with a hatch liner - making a great place to store your catch for the table. A large rectangular hatch comes supplied with a Pivoting Tackle Management System incorporating 2 Plano tackle boxes - great for keeping all your lures and tackle close to hand. A 8" twist lock hatch features at the stern for even more storage space, and if all that wasn't enough then there is a tackle storage space under the seat too! The large rear tank well/cargo area will easily take a Hobie Livewell or H-Crate for further bait and tackle storage.
Other features include a retractable rudder system with dual steering from either side of the craft, a tracking skeg for improved straight line cruising, a 260cm 2-piece paddle with on-hull storage, front and rear carry handles, a sail mount and comes anchor trolley ready and the Hobie Guardian Retractable Transducer Shield - this allows you to raise and lower the transducer plate via a control cord in the cockpit - perfect for deploying large side-scan transducers after launching. The shield will automatically raise up if the transducer strikes an object. The Pro Angler also includes a system of Thru Hull cable seals for waterproof cable routing for easy fish finder installation.
The PA14 is best suited to flat water conditions on lakes, rivers and canals, although can be used on coastal waters too and will handle choppy waters well. If you want to ultimate super stable fishing platform with the very latest features available in the fishing kayak world, then look no further than the Pro Angler 14 360 XR.
