Hobie Mirage Lynx Fishing Kayak
The Hobie Lynx Fishing Kayak is an excellent blend of a sleek minimal hull design kayak with many added deluxe features needed for fishing. This lightweight kayak is fast and maneuverable as it is propelled by the Hobie MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Fins. With the flat bottom design and Kick-Up Fins, you can access shallow water like never before, allowing you to explore uncharted waters. The Lynx glides through the water, giving you more speed and unsurpassed performance, unlike any other kayak. Stable and durable to withstand the use and abuse of a fishing kayak.
The simplicity and ease of use make the Hobie Lynx unique, but that doesn't mean it lacks fishability. The spacious cockpit of the kayak features much of what anglers want and need. The elevated mono-mesh fabric chair provides you with a comfortable and breathable ride. The durable and lightweight design keeps you upright and relaxed on the water. Stay balanced and stand on the EVA pad at your feet, providing the best grip while you fish. The Lynx features a removable rudder, providing for easy storage. Control the rudder with the included line for retracting and deploying the rudder. Easily attach your rudder control to either side of the seat for quick access.
No matter what fish you chase, having the necessary gear and tackle is essential to the experience. With the front and rear cargo bungees, you have space for extra gear, even your Hobie H-Crate. You'll find the integrated accessory mounting tracks on each kayak side. These tracks will allow you to add track-mounted accessories such as rod holders, fish finder mounts, and cameras. Each side features an insert that allows you to install the Hobie H-Rail system. This addition will open up even more accessory mounts for your kayak. Under your seat, you'll find the accessible fishfinder cavity, making installing the fish finder you need on the water easy. The Lynx is Ready for your Power-Pole Micro Anchor, as it comes with integrated inserts, making the most of the minimalist design while still providing room for all the tackle and gear needed.
The ACE-TEC technology used to construct the kayak makes the Lynx unique and lightweight. Built with an EPS foam core that features a fiberglass shell with a plastic skin, it creates its lightweight nature, which makes the Lynx so fast and maneuverable but as easy to transport. The handles on the front and rear of the kayak make for an easy access point when lifting this kayak. The rear-loading skid pads allow you to lean the hull against your vehicle and load it on a rooftop. Transporting the Lynx to and from the water can be even more accessible by adding a kayak cart to the scupper plugs at the back half of the kayak. There is a lot to love about the Hobie Lynx. The simplistic design provides ease of use while providing anglers with all the features for a successful outing.
MirageDrive 180
The Hobie MirageDrive 180 is an efficient, durable drive that features forward and reverse—designed with high-end components to withstand fresh and saltwater and the obstacles you will face in both scenarios. The glide technology reduces friction in the drive, providing a smooth and powerful peddling experience. One of the ultimate tools of the MirageDrive 180 is the Kick-Up Fin technology. This revolutionary design allows you to come fin to fin with obstacles in the water without slowing you down. When you come into contact with the bottom, rocks, and stumps, the fins will easily kick up and lock back in place so you can continue peddling. These durable square-tip fins slice through the water swiftly and effectively, getting you where you need to go. Operating and adjusting the 180 Drive is simple. To adjust your peddles, press the buttons at the top of the cranks and slide forward or backward for the most comfortable fit. Engaging forward or reverse is as easy as pulling the red or green forward shifter. Installing your 180 Drive is as easy as dropping and locking it into place. There is no need for extra work and hassle with hardware or other tools. With the right technology, Hobie has created a kayak all anglers will love. Simple to maneuver and navigate, experience the Mirage Drive 180 in one of the finest kayaks on the market.
