Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 12 Fishing Kayak
The Hobie Mirage PA 12 Fishing Kayak features the latest advancements that all anglers will love. Fish confidently with one of the finest fishing kayaks in the Hobie lineup. This stable and rugged kayak lets you fish standing up or sitting down without hassle. The Pro Angler 12 features the Hobie MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Fins. Effortless forward and reverse technology allows you to travel faster and fish cleaner than ever. Navigate the waters easily as the Kick-Up Fin technology keeps you moving as the fins deflect off the shallow cover. This efficient design is everything you need in a fishing kayak for stability and stealth. The advantage of the PA 12 is its ability to be stored and transported easier than ever. A simple fit in the back of a truck with multiple handles around the kayak makes this high-end kayak more accessible for everyone.
Comfort in your kayak is essential; whether you prefer to sit or stand, some features make both as simple as possible. With the Vantage ST seating, you can sit comfortably for hours while hunting through the water. This lightweight seat provides fully adjustable lumbar support to help you find your best fit. Have complete command at your kayak seat with access to your pulleys, rudder, and MirageDrive. When you want to stand, you'll have the grip pads at the bottom of your feet. Providing grip no matter the conditions, have peace of mind while standing and fishing. For a 12-foot boat, you'll undoubtedly see that the cockpit is as spacious as it comes, providing plenty of legroom and space for all the gear that finds its way around you.
Every serious angler always has more gear than they need for a day on the water. Hobie knows this, so you'll have plenty of storage options and customizable features on this kayak. From upfront, the large hatch featuring a removable liner allows you to store just about anything up here without fear of it getting cleaned. Whether it be tackle, scents, dyes, or fish, this is your go-to for primary storage in the kayak. Right at your feet, you will find a sealed waterproof compartment with a pivoting tackle management system that immediately gives you access to your baits. You can control your Guardian Retractable Transducer Shield nearby, allowing you to control your side imaging transducer from your favorite fish finder. Conveniently at arm's reach along each side of the kayak, it is equipped with a mounting plate. These features provide endless customization options with all Hobie accessories. The simple slide and lock design does not require extra hardware or drilling, making customizing as easy as possible. Save space and protect your gear with the built-in horizontal rod holders on each kayak side. With the idea of holding six rods on each side, you can fit many more than advertised. No longer will you have to store rods standing up, risking damage from any low-hanging branches or other structures.
Behind your seat, you will find the cargo area; this open space provides the angler with many options depending on the desired outcome. From this area, you can reach around your seat and access your fishing crate, cooler, or live well. Whatever you need to store behind you, there is plenty of room to do so. Rubber Mesh Stowage Pockets are placed along each side of the cargo area and behind your seat for quick access. The rubber mesh lasts longer and holds items stronger than traditional webbing. Towards the back on each side of the cargo area are two paddle holders. Designed to hold each section of your two-piece paddle. Keeping an extra paddle on board without sacrificing space and hassle adds to the kayak's versatility. When you need access to your boat's hull, you will find the large 8" twist and seal hatch, which is easy to access with a waterproof seal.
Hobie has been fortunate enough to craft some of the finest kayaks in the industry, which holds when you step into the Mirage Pro Angler 12. Ultimate fishability and maneuverability are only possible with the latest design and technology.

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 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.
